Subject: [PATCH net-next 05/11] netfilter: conntrack: Untangle insert_failed counter from others
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 00:34:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927223436.269024-6-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260927223436.269024-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>

There is not much sense in incrementing multiple conntrack counters for
the same situation. Defining insert_failed as a situation where a valid
packet's conntrack can't be confirmed due to unresolvable clash sets it
apart from 'drop' (ENOMEM situation) and 'chaintoolong'.
