Subject: [PATCH nf 0/2] netfilter: conntrack: fix the gc rescheduling delay

Hello,

The first patch fixes how the conntrack gc rescheduling delay is
computed to avoid bias depending on the order of entries in the set. But
this change has a side effect, making the logic not to be triggered
until very large sets are used. This is fixed in patch 2, which changes
the initial conntrack gc rescheduling bias.

Thanks,
Antoine
