If we added below:

+static int one = 1;
+static int int_max = INT_MAX;
....
+               .extra1     = &one,
+		.extra2	    = &int_max,

The bug is fixed without TCP friends.

Maybe, TCP friends need to use long integer to record result
of "sk->sk_sndbuf + sk->sk_friend->sk_rcvbuf" ?

BTW: This overflow problem also breaks UDP sockets.

Thanks
