Hi,

The following batch contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for net, this batch
addresses LLM findings, several of these fixes has been reproduced by
syzbot:
 
1) Add recursion count to nf_reject infrastructure to prevent stack
   overflow, from Fernando F. Mancera.
 
2) Address a infinite loop in RCU list traversal with the TWOS IPVS
   scheduler, from Darong Lu and Julian Anastasov.
 
3) Use kfree_rcu() to release IPVS parent application to fix UaF,
   from Chengfeng Ye.
 
4) Fix UaF in IPVS netns removal path due to releasing per-net protocol
   data too early, from Chengfeng Ye.
 
5) Fix unbounded growth of stale, unmatchable IPVS connection entries,
   from Julian Anastasov.
 
6) Restrict maximum master conntrack chain depth in ctnetlink,
   from Florian Westphal.
 
7) Preserve recursion count on nfqueue reinjection, from Zihan Xi.
 
8) Restore GRE timeout in the flowtable, otherwise, WARN_ON_ONCE()
   is reachable, from Michail Andreas Michalopoulos.
 
9) Check non-null gc transaction in nft_rbtree before queuing it for
   processing, from Xingyuan Mo.
 
10) Replace WARN_ON_ONCE() by DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() in
    nf_conntrack_bridge which is reachable if the protocol of the tag
    of a frame differs from the vlan_protocol of the bridge.
    From Laveesh Bansal.

11) Check x_tables target name is non-null before accessing it when
    building a new table, from Fernando F. Mancera.
 
12) Fix out-of-bound memory read in nf_conntrack_sip, from
    Joas Antonio Dos Santos.
 
13) Fix a memleak in nf_tables hardware offload when double deleting
    the same rule, in the same batch.
 
14) Use a mutex in xt_recent netns exit path instead of spinlock,
    since proc unregistration might sleep. From Cen Zhang.
 
15) Zero the nf_nat_range2 struct before filling it up, to avoid
    using stale uninitialized stack data to configure NAT with
    an esoteric NAT flags combination. From Florian Westphal.
