commitf6351c3f1cupstream. The old way of changing the conntrack hashsize runtime was through changing the module param via file /sys/module/nf_conntrack/parameters/hashsize. This was extended to sysctl change in commit3183ab8997("netfilter: conntrack: allow increasing bucket size via sysctl too"). The commit introduced second "user" variable nf_conntrack_htable_size_user which shadow actual variable nf_conntrack_htable_size. When hashsize is changed via module param this "user" variable isn't updated. This results in sysctl net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_buckets shows the wrong value when users update via the old way. This patch fix the issue by always updating "user" variable when reading the proc file. This will take care of changes to the actual variable without sysctl need to be aware.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
