Hi Greg et al.

I see that you backported this patch (increasing the IP ID hash table size) to the newer LTS branches more than a month ago. But I don't see that it was backported to older LTS branches (4.19, 4.14, 4.9, 4.4). Is this intentional?

It applies cleanly to 4.19, but not the older ones. If you think it is needed there for those kernels, please provide a working backport that we can apply.

thanks,
