From fcdd1cf4dd63aecf86c987d7f4ec7187be5c2fbc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 13:19:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: avoid possible arithmetic overflows icsk_rto is a 32bit field, and icsk_backoff can reach 15 by default, or more if some sysctl (eg tcp_retries2) are changed. Better use 64bit to perform icsk_rto << icsk_backoff operations As Joe Perches suggested, add a helper for this. Yuchung spotted the tcp_v4_err() case.
