3.2.69-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "bingtian.ly@xxxxxxxxxx" <bingtian.ly@xxxxxxxxxx> commit cdda88912d62f9603d27433338a18be83ef23ac1 upstream. I found if we write a larger than 4GB value to some sysctl variables, the sending syscall will hang up forever, because these variables are 32 bits, such large values make them overflow to 0 or negative. This patch try to fix overflow or prevent from zero value setup of below sysctl variables: net.core.wmem_default net.core.rmem_default net.core.rmem_max net.core.wmem_max net.ipv4.udp_rmem_min net.ipv4.udp_wmem_min net.ipv4.tcp_wmem net.ipv4.tcp_rmem Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Li Yu <raise.sail@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
