Note that this patch adds a deadlock possibility in some stress situations. If a process owning some tcp socket dies, and tcp_mem[2] is already hit, all sk_stream_alloc_skb() can return NULL and we loop in tcp_send_fin(), making no progress because we can not free any tcp memory. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
