On processing a module BTF of module built for an older kernel, we might
sometimes find that some type points to itself forming a loop. If such a
type is a modifier, btf_check_type_tags's while loop following modifier
chain will be caught in an infinite loop.
Fix this by defining a maximum chain length and bailing out if we spin
any longer than that.
Fixes: eb596b0905 ("bpf: Ensure type tags precede modifiers in BTF")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
