[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: use hashtable for expectations
Currently all expectations are kept on a global list that
- needs to be searched for every new conncetion
- needs to be walked for evicting expectations when a master connection
has reached its limit
- needs to be walked on connection destruction for connections that
have open expectations
This is obviously not good, especially when considering helpers like
H.323 that register *lots* of expectations and can set up permanent
expectations, but it also allows for an easy DoS against firewalls
using connection tracking helpers.
Use a hashtable for expectations to avoid incurring the search overhead
for every new connection. The default hash size is 1/256 of the conntrack
hash table size, this can be overriden using a module parameter.
This patch only introduces the hash table for expectation lookups and
keeps other users to reduce the noise, the following patches will get
rid of it completely.
