Connlimit expression can be used for all kind of packets and not only
for packets with connection state new. 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
