Subject: Re: [omega-g1:11072] Re: [PATCH] net: configurable sysctl parameter
 "net.core.tcp_lowat" for sk_stream_min_wspace()

By using this patch, we want to prevent "timeout occured over the network that is low throughput but available".

But in the current implementation, both blocking and non-blocking,
user processes can't recognize the reason in detail
when failed to write to socket buffer, we think.

is it (really) network problem ?
or is wmem not enough free to write?

As stated above, we think it is difficult for user processes to handle timeout of writing socket buffer,
when wmem is configured large value.(to ensure high throughput over the high ralency network, like 3G).
