No. I just mean that you rename that since it this has nothing to do
with conntrack.

I mean: This is currently broken in your patch, it is always
delivering an event when the quota is reached, no matter if invert is
set or not.

I'm just proposing a plain rename:
s/XT_QUOTA_PACKET/XT_NFACCT_QUOTA_PKTS
s/XT_QUOTA_QUOTA/XT_NFACCT_QUOTA_BYTES
XT_QUOTA refers to the xt_quota match, which is a different iptables
match extensions.
Thinking again on the event delivery, I think it's better if the
nfacct match using the new --quota does not deliver the event itself.
You can use libnetfilter_queue instead, eg.
iptables -I INPUT -p icmp \
-m nfacct icmp --quota 12345 --mode bytes --match-once \
-j NFLOG --nflog-prefix "icmp: " --nflog-group 34
The --once parameter tells to match only if you just crossed the quota
limit (so the event is sent once). The idea is to use nflog to deliver
the event, which is way more flexible as it includes useful
information.
