Merge branch 'net-sched-use-the-backlog-for-nested-mirred-ingress'
Davide Caratti says: ==================== net/sched: use the backlog for nested mirred ingress TC mirred has a protection against excessive stack growth, but that protection doesn't really guarantee the absence of recursion, nor it guards against loops. Patch 1/2 rewords "recursion" to "nesting" to make this more clear. We can leverage on this existing mechanism to prevent TCP / SCTP from doing soft lock-up in some specific scenarios that uses mirred egress->ingress: patch 2 changes mirred so that the networking backlog is used for nested mirred ingress actions. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1674233458.git.dcaratti@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
