Message-ID: <20101114151825.GA25137@core2.telecom.by> Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2010 17:18:25 +0200 From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@...il.com> To: davem@...emloft.net Cc: shemminger@...ux-foundation.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] tcp: restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_min_scale (#20312) tcp_win_from_space() does the following: if (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale <= 0) return space >> (-sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale); else return space - (space >> sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale); "space" is int. As per C99 6.5.7 (3) shifting int for 32 or more bits is undefined behaviour. Indeed, if sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is exactly 32, space >> 32 equals space and function returns 0; Which means we busyloop in tcp_fixup_rcvbuf(). Restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale to [-31, 31].
