[PATCH RFC nf-next 5/9] netfilter: reduce allowed hook count to 32

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Date: 2021-10-14 12:11:31
Also in: bpf, netfilter-devel
Subsystem: netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

1k is huge and will mean we'd need to support tailcalls in the
nf_hook bpf converter.

We need about 5 insns per hook at this time, ignoring prologue/epilogue.

32 should be fine, typically even extreme cases need about 8 hooks per
hook location.
