[RFC net-next 2/9] net: xfrm: revert to lower xfrm dst gc limit

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Date: 2017-06-28 13:26:45
Subsystem: documentation, networking [general], networking [ipsec], the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Steffen Klassert, Herbert Xu, Linus Torvalds

revert c386578f1cdb4dac230395 ("xfrm: Let the flowcache handle its size by default.").

Once we remove flow cache, we don't have a flow cache limit anymore.
We must not allow (virtually) unlimited allocations of xfrm dst entries.
Revert back to the old xfrm dst gc limits.
