Re: [PATCH net v2] net: Update window_clamp if SOCK_RCVBUF is set

[Eric Dumazet]

Packetdrill test would be :

// Force syncookies
`sysctl -q net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=2`

    0 socket(..., SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 3
   +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
   +0 setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, [2048], 4) = 0
   +0 bind(3, ..., ...) = 0
   +0 listen(3, 1) = 0

+0 < S 0:0(0) win 32792 <mss 1000,sackOK,TS val 100 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7>
   +0 > S. 0:0(0) ack 1 <mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 4000 ecr 100,nop,wscale 0>
  +.1 < . 1:1(0) ack 1 win 1024 <nop,nop,TS val 200 ecr 4000>
   +0 accept(3, ..., ...) = 4
+0 %{ assert tcpi_snd_wscale == 0, tcpi_snd_wscale }%
