From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 18:34:37 +0000 (-0700) Subject: tcp/dccp: warn user for preferred ip_local_port_range X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ed2dfd900992aa7b6b3d0abd8ec9a7e9d2c7f827;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git tcp/dccp: warn user for preferred ip_local_port_range After commit 07f4c90062f8f ("tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range in connect()") it is advised to have an even number of ports described in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range This means start/end values should have a different parity. Let's warn sysadmins of this, so that they can update their settings if they want to. Suggested-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
