Subject: [PATCH net 6/6] netfilter: nf_conncount: update last_gc only when GC has been performed
Date: Fri,  2 Jan 2026 12:41:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260102114128.7007-7-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260102114128.7007-1-fw@strlen.de>

From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>

Currently last_gc is being updated everytime a new connection is
tracked, that means that it is updated even if a GC wasn't performed.
With a sufficiently high packet rate, it is possible to always bypass
the GC, causing the list to grow infinitely.

Update the last_gc value only when a GC has been actually performed.

Fixes: d265929930e2 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC")
