In theory, logging of dropped packets classified by conntrack as being
INVALID should never be disabled, since one wants to have a paper trail
of what his/her firewall is doing.
However, conntrack seems to drop a lot of (at the first glance
legitimate) packets, hence bloating the logs, making spotting the
important firewall hits more difficult.
This patch therefore adds the option to disable logging of packets being
dropped by conntrack due to INVALID state.
Please note:
- This patch does not add this category to the firewall hits graph.
- The variables in this patch ("LOGDROPCTINVALID") should make it clear
that it is about toggling _logging_, not the actual _dropping_. Other
variables are still in need of being renamed to clarify this, which
will be done in a dedicated patch.
- Also, the changes made to update.sh need to take place in
config/rootfiles/core/164/update.sh for "master", since this patch has
been developed against "next". Kindly cherry-pick the necessary
changes.
