nf_conncount is supposed to skip garbage collection if it has already
run garbage collection in the same jiffy. Unfortunately, this is broken
when jiffies wrap around which this patch fixes.
The problem is that last_gc in the nf_conncount_list struct is an u32,
but jiffies is an unsigned long which is 8 bytes on my systems. When
those two are compared it only works until last_gc wraps around.
See bug report: https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1778
for more details.

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.
