    inet: limit length of fragment queue hash table bucket lists · 5a3da1fe

    This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash
    table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat
    arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with
    empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should
    just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu.
    
    If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed.
    This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish
    between the different users of inet_fragment.c.
    
    I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path,
    because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.
