Subject: [PATCH] tcp: restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_min_scale (#20312)
Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2010 17:18:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101114151825.GA25137@core2.telecom.by> (raw)

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].

Fix https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20312

Steps to reproduce:

	echo 32 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_adv_win_scale
	wget www.kernel.org
	[softlockup]
