From e0c12b9bfffcb56817bb5bada2da9d4a600cd64d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davide Caratti Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2023 18:01:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net/sched: act_mirred: better wording on protection against excessive stack growth [ Upstream commit 78dcdffe0418ac8f3f057f26fe71ccf4d8ed851f ] with commit e2ca070f89ec ("net: sched: protect against stack overflow in TC act_mirred"), act_mirred protected itself against excessive stack growth using per_cpu counter of nested calls to tcf_mirred_act(), and capping it to MIRRED_RECURSION_LIMIT. However, such protection does not detect recursion/loops in case the packet is enqueued to the backlog (for example, when the mirred target device has RPS or skb timestamping enabled). Change the wording from "recursion" to "nesting" to make it more clear to readers.
