commit 6ed5943f8735e2b778d92ea4d9805c0a1d89bc2b upstream.
This is a leftover from days where single-cpu systems were common:
Store last port used to resolve a clash to use it as a starting point when
the next conflict needs to be resolved.
When we have parallel attempt to connect to same address:port pair,
its likely that both cores end up computing the same "available" port,
as both use same starting port, and newly used ports won't become
visible to other cores until the conntrack gets confirmed later.
One of the cores then has to drop the packet at insertion time because
the chosen new tuple turns out to be in use after all.
Lets simplify this: remove port rover and use a pseudo-random starting
point.
Note that this doesn't make netfilter default to 'fully random' mode;
the 'rover' was only used if NAT could not reuse source port as-is.

commit a504b703bb1da526a01593da0e4be2af9d9f5fa8 upstream.
In case almost or all available ports are taken, clash resolution can
take a very long time, resulting in soft lockup.
This can happen when many to-be-natted hosts connect to same
destination:port (e.g. a proxy) and all connections pass the same SNAT.
Pick a random offset in the acceptable range, then try ever smaller
number of adjacent port numbers, until either the limit is reached or a
useable port was found. This results in at most 248 attempts
(128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8, i.e. 4 restarts with new search offset)
instead of 64000+,
