We previously removed the restriction on looping to self, and then added a test to make sure the kernel didn't blow up during a routing loop. The kernel didn't blow up, thankfully, but on certain architectures where skb fragmentation is easier, such as ppc64, the skbs weren't actually being discarded after a few rounds through. But the test wasn't catching this. So actually test explicitly for massive increases in tx to see if we have a routing loop. Note that the actual loop problem will need to be addressed in a different commit. Fixes: b673e24aad36 ("wireguard: socket: remove errant restriction on looping to self") Signed-off-by: Jason A.

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.
