Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] net/sched: use the backlog for nested mirred ingress
Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2023 18:01:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1674233458.git.dcaratti@redhat.com> (raw)

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.


Davide Caratti (2):
  net/sched: act_mirred: better wording on protection against excessive
    stack growth
  act_mirred: use the backlog for nested calls to mirred ingress
