From c023c0e4a0eb7f0dfebe29b41801bf7373bf4f1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2016 15:33:34 +0200 Subject: netfilter: conntrack: resched gc again if eviction rate is high If we evicted a large fraction of the scanned conntrack entries re-schedule the next gc cycle for immediate execution. This triggers during tests where load is high, then drops to zero and many connections will be in TW/CLOSE state with < 30 second timeouts. Without this change it will take several minutes until conntrack count comes back to normal.
