hash-attack.patch does never decrement the collision counter.

Why should it ? It's only used as local variable in the lookup function.

Note that the limit only triggers on a per-key basis. It's not a limit on the total number of collisions in the table, so you don't need to keep the number of collisions stored on the object.
