Subject: [PATCH net-next 05/13] netfilter: conntrack: Introduce tcp offload timeout configuration

From: Oz Shlomo <ozsh@...dia.com>

TCP connections may be offloaded from nf conntrack to nf flow table.
Offloaded connections are aged after 30 seconds of inactivity.
Once aged, ownership is returned to conntrack with a hard coded pickup
time of 120 seconds, after which the connection may be deleted.
eted. The current aging intervals may be too aggressive for some users.

Provide users with the ability to control the nf flow table offload
aging and pickup time intervals via sysctl parameter as a pre-step for
configuring the nf flow table GC timeout intervals.
