This patch is originally from Florian Westphal. This patch does the following 3 main tasks. 1) Add list lock to 'struct nf_conncount_list' so that we can alter the lists containing the individual connections without holding the main tree lock. It would be useful when we only need to add/remove to/from a list without allocate/remove a node in the tree. With this change, we update nft_connlimit accordingly since we longer need to maintain a list lock in nft_connlimit now. 2) Use RCU for the initial tree search to improve tree look up performance. 3) Add a garbage collection worker. This worker is schedule when there are excessive tree node that needed to be recycled. Moreover,the rbnode reclaim logic is moved from search tree to insert tree to avoid race condition.

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.
