After enabling events and running conntrack -E i notice flood in output
 of server that have PPPoE and PPTP connections. Here is the output:

 OfficeNAT ~ # conntrack  -E
  [UPDATE] gre      47 17999 src=192.168.0.140 dst=192.168.0.1
 srckey=0x0 dstkey=0x3 src=192.168.0.1 dst=192.168.0.140 srckey=0x3
 dstkey=0x0 [ASSURED]
  [UPDATE] gre      47 17999 src=192.168.0.140 dst=192.168.0.1

Is it considered as a bug? I think it should not send on each packet
 conntrack event.

Bug. Update events should only be generated when something in the
conntrack has changed (e.g. the connmark).

Could you please try this patch (untested)?

Fine now, patch fixed this bug.
