[097/127] Limit sysctl_tcp_mem and sysctl_udp_mem initializers to prevent integer overflows.

From: Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>
Date: 2010-12-08 00:54:29
Also in: linux-sctp, lkml

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Robin Holt <redacted>

[ Upstream fixed this in a different way. -DaveM ]

On a 16TB x86_64 machine, sysctl_tcp_mem[2], sysctl_udp_mem[2], and
sysctl_sctp_mem[2] can integer overflow.  Set limit such that they are
maximized without overflowing.
