Subject: netfilter: nft_connlimit: add support to object update operation
X-Git-Url: https://gentwo.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c4cbe4a4df39a2cf80593f87d129cd4b04ea568d;p=linux%2F.git

netfilter: nft_connlimit: add support to object update operation

This is useful to update the limit or flags without clearing the
connections tracked. Use READ_ONCE() on packetpath as it can be modified
on controlplane.
