If insertion of a new conntrack fails because the table is full, the kernel searches the next buckets of the hash slot where the new connection was supposed to be inserted at for an entry that hasn't seen traffic in reply direction (non-assured), if it finds one, that entry is is dropped and the new connection entry is allocated. Allow the conntrack gc worker to also remove *assured* conntracks if resources are low. Do this by querying the l4 tracker, e.g. tcp connections are now dropped if they are no longer established (e.g. in finwait). This could be refined further, e.g. by adding 'soft' established timeout (i.e., a timeout that is only used once we get close to resource exhaustion).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
