Commit 76b367a2d83163cf19173d5cb0b562acbabc8eac upstream. If we have multiple clients and some/all are flooding the receives to such an extent that we can retry a LOT handling multishot receives, then we can be starving some clients and hence serving traffic in an imbalanced fashion. Limit multishot retry attempts to some arbitrary value, whose only purpose serves to ensure that we don't keep serving a single connection for way too long. We default to 32 retries, which should be more than enough to provide fairness, yet not so small that we'll spend too much time requeuing rather than handling traffic.

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.
