Subject: tcp: Increase TCP_MAXSEG socket option minimum.
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~7613^2~3442^2~24
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a1abd08d52fdeddb3e9a5a33f2f15cc6a5674d2;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

tcp: Increase TCP_MAXSEG socket option minimum.

As noted by Steve Chen, since commit
f5fff5dc8a7a3f395b0525c02ba92c95d42b7390 ("tcp: advertise MSS
requested by user") we can end up with a situation where
tcp_select_initial_window() does a divide by a zero (or
even negative) mss value.

The problem is that sometimes we effectively subtract
TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_ALIGNED and/or TCPOLEN_MD5SIG_ALIGNED from the mss.

Fix this by increasing the minimum from 8 to 64.
