[NETFILTER]: xt_hashlimit match, revision 1
Introduces the xt_hashlimit match revision 1. It adds support for
kernel-level inversion and grouping source and/or destination IP
addresses, allowing to limit on a per-subnet basis. While this would
technically obsolete xt_limit, xt_hashlimit is a more expensive due
to the hashbucketing.
Kernel-level inversion: Previously you had to do user-level inversion:
iptables -N foo
iptables -A foo -m hashlimit --hashlimit(-upto) 5/s -j RETURN
iptables -A foo -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -j foo
now it is simpler:
iptables -A INPUT -m hashlimit --hashlimit-over 5/s -j DROP
