[PATCH 4.14 49/61] netfilter: nft_limit: fix packet ratelimiting

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3e0f64b7dd3149f75e8652ff1df56cffeedc8fc1 ]

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.
