Davide Caratti 6b1a3968fb act_mirred: use the backlog for nested calls to mirred ingress
[ Upstream commit ca22da2fbd693b54dc8e3b7b54ccc9f7e9ba3640 ]

William reports kernel soft-lockups on some OVS topologies when TC mirred
egress->ingress action is hit by local TCP traffic [1].
The same can also be reproduced with SCTP (thanks Xin for verifying), when
client and server reach themselves through mirred egress to ingress, and
one of the two peers sends a "heartbeat" packet (from within a timer).

Enqueueing to backlog proved to fix this soft lockup; however, as Cong
noticed [2], we should preserve - when possible - the current mirred
behavior that counts as "overlimits" any eventual packet drop subsequent to
the mirred forwarding action [3]. A compromise solution might use the
backlog only when tcf_mirred_act() has a nest level greater than one:
change tcf_mirred_forward() accordingly.

Also, add a kselftest that can reproduce the lockup and verifies TC mirred
ability to account for further packet drops after TC mirred egress->ingress
(when the nest level is 1).

 [3] such behavior is not guaranteed: for example, if RPS or skb RX
     timestamping is enabled on the mirred target device, the kernel
     can defer receiving the skb and return NET_RX_SUCCESS inside
     tcf_mirred_forward().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
