f0628c524f
This patch changes the behavior of TCP_LINGER2 about its limit. The sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout used to be the limit of TCP_LINGER2 but now it's only the default value. A new macro named TCP_FIN_TIMEOUT_MAX is added as the limit of TCP_LINGER2, which is 2 minutes. Since TCP_LINGER2 used sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout as the default value and the limit in the past, the system administrator cannot set the default value for most of sockets and let some sockets have a greater timeout. It might be a mistake that let the sysctl to be the limit of the TCP_LINGER2. Maybe we can add a new sysctl to set the max of TCP_LINGER2, but FIN-WAIT-2 timeout is usually no need to be too long and 2 minutes are legal considering TCP specs. Changes in v3: - Remove the new socket option and change the TCP_LINGER2 behavior so that the timeout can be set to value between sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout and 2 minutes. Changes in v2: - Add int overflow check for the new socket option. Changes in v1: - Add a new socket option to set timeout greater than sysctl_tcp_fin_timeout.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
