Support tracking of up to 65535 packets per table entry instead of just 255 to better facilitate longer term tracking or higher throughput scenarios. Note how this aligns sizes of struct recent_entry's 'nstamps' and 'index' fields when 'nstamps' was larger before. This is unnecessary as the value of 'nstamps' grows along with that of 'index' after being initialized to 1 (see recent_entry_update()). Its value will thus never exceed that of 'index' and therefore does not need to provide space for larger values.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
