Do I need a special setup for conntrack?

No crashes after more than one hour of stress-ng on
1. 4 core amd64 Fedora 5.17 kernel
2. 16 core amd64, linux stable 5.17.15
3. 12 core intel, Fedora 5.18 kernel
4. 3 core aarch64 vm, 5.18.7-200.fc36.aarch64

I used standard firewalld ruleset for all of these and manually tuned
conntrack settings to make sure the early evict path (as per backtrace)
gets exercised.
