[ Upstream commitc77737b736] Customers using GKE 1.25 and 1.26 are facing conntrack issues root caused to commitc9c3b6811f("netfilter: conntrack: make max chain length random"). Even if we assume Uniform Hashing, a bucket often reachs 8 chained items while the load factor of the hash table is smaller than 0.5 With a limit of 16, we reach load factors of 3. With a limit of 32, we reach load factors of 11. With a limit of 40, we reach load factors of 15. With a limit of 50, we reach load factors of 24. This patch changes MIN_CHAINLEN to 50, to minimize risks. Ideally, we could in the future add a cushion based on expected load factor (2 * nf_conntrack_max / nf_conntrack_buckets), because some setups might expect unusual values.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
