Thanks a lot for this work Yinghai !
This last bit helped me a lot ...

Hmm, udp_lib_get_port() assumes it can loop at least one time in :

for (last = first + udptable->mask + 1;
	first != last;
	first++) {
// unit_work
}

but if udptable->mask == 65535, loop is not entered at all (since last == first)

We should convert it to a do { } while(...); construct, or use 32bit variables
and (u16) casts.

Thanks

[PATCH] udp: udp_lib_get_port() fix

Now we can have a large udp hash table, udp_lib_get_port() loop
should be converted to a do {} while (cond) form,
or we dont enter it at all if hash table size is exactly 65536.
