Hi Dave, these patches fix a proc file removal race in ipt_recent, a timer removal race in hashlimit and, based upon a suggestion by Herbert, change TCP conntrack to keep track of unacknowledged data and reduce the timeout to 5 minutes while data is unacknowledged in order to more aggressively prune dead connections.
