3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 63c6f81cdde58c41da62a8d8a209592e42a0203e ] Its too easy to add thousand of UDP sockets on a particular bucket, and slow down an innocent multicast receiver. Early demux is supposed to be an optimization, we should avoid spending too much time in it. It is interesting to note __udp4_lib_demux_lookup() only tries to match first socket in the chain. 10 is the threshold we already have in __udp4_lib_lookup() to switch to secondary hash.
