See this ruleset as example: table ip filter { chain input { type filter hook input priority filter; policy accept; tcp dport 22 ct count over 4 counter } } Currently, if the connection count goes over the limit the counter will count the packets. When a connection is closed, the connection count won't decrement as it should because it is only updated for new connections due to an optimization on __nf_conncount_add() that prevents updating the list if the connection is duplicated. To solve this problem, check whether the connection was skipped and if so, update the list. Adjust count_tree() too so the same fix is applied for xt_connlimit.
