Merge branch 'tcp-robust-ooo'
Eric Dumazet says: ==================== Juha-Matti Tilli reported that malicious peers could inject tiny packets in out_of_order_queue, forcing very expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() for every incoming packet. With tcp_rmem[2] default of 6MB, the ooo queue could contain ~7000 nodes. This patch series makes sure we cut cpu cycles enough to render the attack not critical. We might in the future go further, like disconnecting or black-holing proven malicious flows. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
