[nf-next PATCH v2 0/2] netfilter: xt_recent: Allow for larger hitcount values

[Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>]

Changes since v1:
- Do not support insanely large hitcount values to limit the amount of
  storage allocated per entry
- Fix typo in subject of patch 1

Patch 2 lifts the restriction of 255 as max hitcount value by adjusting
XT_RECENT_MAX_NSTAMPS value and increasing required struct field sizes
accordingly.

In struct recent_entry, field 'nstamps' was 16bit in size of unclear
reasons. Patch 1 changes that to match field 'index' providing rationale
why it is sufficient, thus paving the way for keeping both at 16bit (and
avoiding a larger size for 'nstamps').

Phil Sutter (2):
  netfilter: xt_recent: Reduce size of struct recent_entry::nstamps
  netfilter: xt_recent: Lift restrictions on max hitcount value
