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.
