From 2fceec13375e5d98ef033c6b0ee03943fc460950 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ilpo=20J=C3=A4rvinen?= <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2011 21:47:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: len check is unnecessarily devastating, change to WARN_ON MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit All callers are prepared for alloc failures anyway, so this error can safely be boomeranged to the callers domain without super bad consequences. ...At worst the connection might go into a state where each RTO tries to (unsuccessfully) re-fragment with such a mis-sized value and eventually dies.
