From dbf650b67bb4db1b95807d2aafe2d7cfafd458da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 13:17:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: fastopen: limit max_qlen Allowing an application to set whatever limit for the list of recently RST fastopen sessions [1] is not wise, as it open ways to deplete kernel memory. Cap the user provided limit by somaxconn sysctl, like listen() backlog. [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7413#section-5.1 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
