Thanks for so quick reply, I will test it soon.

however I suspect whether this patch could fix overflow if we merged TCP 
friends patch in future.

With TCP friends, we have source like below, or TCP friends should care 
this ?

static inline int sk_sndbuf_get(const struct sock *sk)
{
         if (sk->sk_friend)
                 return sk->sk_sndbuf + sk->sk_friend->sk_rcvbuf;
         else
                 return sk->sk_sndbuf;
}

static inline bool sk_stream_memory_free(const struct sock *sk)
{
         return sk_wmem_queued_get(sk) < sk_sndbuf_get(sk);
}

So sk_sndbuf_get() still may be overflow when we have right value in 
net.ipv4.tcp_{rmem,wmem}.

Thanks
