Credit calculations for the packet ratelimiting are not correct, as per the applied ratelimit of 25/second and burst 8, a total of 33 packets should have been accepted. This is true in iptables(33) but not in nftables (~65). For packet ratelimiting, use: div_u64(limit->nsecs, limit->rate) * limit->burst; to calculate credit, just like in iptables' xt_limit does. Moreover, use default burst in iptables, users are expecting similar behaviour. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
