netfilter: conntrack: fix the gc rescheduling delay
Commit 2cfadb76 ("netfilter: conntrack: revisit gc autotuning") changed the eviction rescheduling to the use average expiry of scanned entries (within 1-60s) by doing: for (...) { expires = clamp(nf_ct_expires(tmp), ...); next_run += expires; next_run /= 2; } The issue is the above will make the average ('next_run' here) more dependent on the last expiration values than the firsts (for sets > 2). Depending on the expiration values used to compute the average, the result can be quite different than what's expected. To fix this we can do the following: for (...) { expires = clamp(nf_ct_expires(tmp), ...); next_run += (expires - next_run) / ++count; } Fixes: 2cfadb76 ("netfilter: conntrack: revisit gc autotuning") Cc: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Antoine Tenart <atenart@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
