+Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: flowtable: fix excessive hw offload attempts
+ after failure
+
+If a flow cannot be offloaded, the code currently repeatedly tries again as
+quickly as possible, which can significantly increase system load.
+Fix this by limiting flow timeout update and hardware offload retry to once
+per second.
