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).

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.
