3.16.72-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jie Liu <liujie165@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4bcd4ec1017205644a2697bccbc3b5143f522f5f upstream. We find that sysctl_tipc_rmem and named_timeout do not have the right minimum setting. sysctl_tipc_rmem should be larger than zero, like sysctl_tcp_rmem. And named_timeout as a timeout setting should be not less than zero.
