Taehee Yoo 9f217d6dd7 net: core: reduce recursion limit value
[ Upstream commit fb7861d14c ]

In the current code, ->ndo_start_xmit() can be executed recursively only
10 times because of stack memory.
But, in the case of the vxlan, 10 recursion limit value results in
a stack overflow.
In the current code, the nested interface is limited by 8 depth.
There is no critical reason that the recursion limitation value should
be 10.
So, it would be good to be the same value with the limitation value of
nesting interface depth.

Test commands:
    ip link add vxlan10 type vxlan vni 10 dstport 4789 srcport 4789 4789
    ip link set vxlan10 up
    ip a a 192.168.10.1/24 dev vxlan10
    ip n a 192.168.10.2 dev vxlan10 lladdr fc:22:33:44:55:66 nud permanent

    for i in {9..0}
    do
        let A=$i+1
	ip link add vxlan$i type vxlan vni $i dstport 4789 srcport 4789 4789
	ip link set vxlan$i up
	ip a a 192.168.$i.1/24 dev vxlan$i
	ip n a 192.168.$i.2 dev vxlan$i lladdr fc:22:33:44:55:66 nud permanent
	bridge fdb add fc:22:33:44:55:66 dev vxlan$A dst 192.168.$i.2 self
    done

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.
