If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c04a43c11479115cf832226757a4584ec3c57384 Author: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 26 11:59:06 2024 +0100 netfilter: nft_socket: remove WARN_ON_ONCE on maximum cgroup level [ Upstream commit b7529880cb961d515642ce63f9d7570869bbbdc3 ] cgroup maximum depth is INT_MAX by default, there is a cgroup toggle to restrict this maximum depth to a more reasonable value not to harm performance. Remove unnecessary WARN_ON_ONCE which is reachable from userspace.
