Re: [PATCH 18/18] export sysctl symbols needed by ip_vs_sync

Hi David,

The IPVS people needs this patch for net-next to allow to tune the
socket buffer for ipvs_sync (the state synchronization that they do
from kernel-space). This exports sysctl_wmem_max and sysctl_rmem_max
living in net/core/sock.c. So far, they've been using global socket
tuning to make them bigger (this avoids overruning the socket under
high peak of state-change synchronization).

I think this is out of my scope (since it's out of the netfilter
tree).

Would you acknowledge it, please?
