[PATCH] netfilter: conntrack: fix calculation of next bucket number in early_drop

From: Vasily Khoruzhick
Date: Wed Oct 24 2018 - 23:56:58 EST


If there's no entry to drop in bucket that corresponds to the hash,
early_drop() should look for it in other buckets. But since it increments
hash instead of bucket number, it actually looks in the same bucket 8
times: hsize is 16k by default (14 bits) and hash is 32-bit value, so
reciprocal_scale(hash, hsize) returns the same value for hash..hash+7 in
most cases.

Fix it by increasing bucket number instead of hash and rename _hash
to bucket to avoid future confusion.
