These two sysctls were added because the hardcoded defaults (2 minutes, tcp, 30 seconds, udp) turned out to be too low for some setups. They appeared in 5.14-rc1 so it should be fine to remove it again. Marcelo convinced me that there should be no difference between a flow that was offloaded vs. a flow that was not wrt. timeout handling. Thus the default is changed to those for TCP established and UDP stream, 5 days and 120 seconds, respectively. Marcelo also suggested to account for the timeout value used for the offloading, this avoids increase beyond the value in the conntrack-sysctl and will also instantly expire the conntrack entry with altered sysctls. Example: nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream=60 nf_flowtable_udp_timeout=60 This will remove offloaded udp flows after one minute, rather than two. An earlier version of this patch also cleared the ASSURED bit to allow nf_conntrack to evict the entry via early_drop (i.e., table full). However, it looks like we can safely assume that connection timed out via HW is still in established state, so this isn't needed. Quoting Oz: [..] the hardware sends all packets with a set FIN flags to sw. [..] Connections that are aged in hardware are expected to be in the established state. In case it turns out that back-to-sw-path transition can occur for 'dodgy' connections too (e.g., one side disappeared while software-path would have been in RETRANS timeout), we can adjust this later.
