Subject: [PATCH net 0/4] inet: ip defrag bug fixes

Johan Schuijt and Frank Schreuder reported crash and softlockup after the
inet workqueue eviction change:

A second issue results in softlockup since the evictor may restart the
eviction loop for a (potentially) unlimited number of times while local
softirqs are disabled.

Frank reports that test system remained stable for 14 hours of testing
(before, crash occured within half an hour in their setup).

Florian Westphal (3):
      inet: frag: don't re-use chainlist for evictor
      inet: frag: change *_frag_mem_limit functions to take netns_frags as argument
      inet: frag: don't wait for timer deletion when evicting

Nikolay Aleksandrov (1):
      inet: frags: remove INET_FRAG_EVICTED and use list_evictor for the test
