[ Upstream commit acf568ee859f098279eadf551612f103afdacb4e ] This is an old bugbear of mine: https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg03894.html By crafting special packets, it is possible to cause recursion in our kernel when processing transport-mode packets at levels that are only limited by packet size. The easiest one is with DNAT, but an even worse one is where UDP encapsulation is used in which case you just have to insert an UDP encapsulation header in between each level of recursion. This patch avoids this problem by reinjecting tranport-mode packets through a tasklet.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
