From 20ea555ffaf37ee6ad22a4c4c340935eac394501 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2016 09:34:02 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: consider recv buf for the initial window scale commit f626300a3e776ccc9671b0dd94698fb3aa315966 upstream. tcp_select_initial_window() intends to advertise a window scaling for the maximum possible window size. To do so, it considers the maximum of net.ipv4.tcp_rmem[2] and net.core.rmem_max as the only possible upper-bounds. However, users with CAP_NET_ADMIN can use SO_RCVBUFFORCE to set the socket's receive buffer size to values larger than net.ipv4.tcp_rmem[2] and net.core.rmem_max. Thus, SO_RCVBUFFORCE is effectively ignored by tcp_select_initial_window(). To fix this, consider the maximum of net.ipv4.tcp_rmem[2], net.core.rmem_max and socket's initial buffer space.
