may free xfrm states that the first dump would walk over later.

16 years agotcp: advertise MSS requested by user

tcp: advertise MSS requested by user

I'm trying to use the TCP_MAXSEG option to setsockopt() to set the MSS
for both sides of a bidirectional connection.

man tcp says: "If this option is set before connection establishment, it
also changes the MSS value announced to the other end in the initial
packet."

However, the kernel only uses the MTU/route cache to set the advertised
MSS. That means if I set the MSS to, say, 500 before calling connect(),
I will send at most 500-byte packets, but I will still receive 1500-byte
packets in reply.

This is a bug, either in the kernel or the documentation.

This patch (applies to latest net-2.6) reduces the advertised value to
that requested by the user as long as setsockopt() is called before
connect() or accept(). This seems like the behavior that one would
expect as well as that which is documented.

I've tried to make sure that things that depend on the advertised MSS
are set correctly.

there's no longer need to know what would be the count
changes involve, and since this is really used only as a
terminator, unnecessary work is one time walk at most,
and if some retransmissions are necessary after that
point later on, the walk is not full waste of time
anyway.

Since retransmit_high must be kept valid, all lost
markers must ensure that.

Now I also have learned how those "holes" in the
