Original patch is from Florian Westphal. This patch switches from hlist to plain list to store the list of connections with the same filtering key in nf_conncount. With the plain list, we can insert new connections at the tail, so over time the beginning of list holds long-running connections and those are expired, while the newly creates ones are at the end. Later on, we could probably move checked ones to the end of the list, so the next run has higher chance to reclaim stale entries in the front.

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 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.
