From 7a1abd08d52fdeddb3e9a5a33f2f15cc6a5674d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 21:35:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: Increase TCP_MAXSEG socket option minimum. As noted by Steve Chen, since commit f5fff5dc8a7a3f395b0525c02ba92c95d42b7390 ("tcp: advertise MSS requested by user") we can end up with a situation where tcp_select_initial_window() does a divide by a zero (or even negative) mss value. The problem is that sometimes we effectively subtract TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_ALIGNED and/or TCPOLEN_MD5SIG_ALIGNED from the mss. Fix this by increasing the minimum from 8 to 64.
