Davide Caratti e0c12b9bff net/sched: act_mirred: better wording on protection against excessive stack growth 
[ Upstream commit 78dcdffe04 ]

with commit e2ca070f89 ("net: sched: protect against stack overflow in
TC act_mirred"), act_mirred protected itself against excessive stack growth
using per_cpu counter of nested calls to tcf_mirred_act(), and capping it
to MIRRED_RECURSION_LIMIT. However, such protection does not detect
recursion/loops in case the packet is enqueued to the backlog (for example,
when the mirred target device has RPS or skb timestamping enabled). Change
the wording from "recursion" to "nesting" to make it more clear to readers.

README 

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.
