Merge branch 'tcp-robust-ooo'
Eric Dumazet says:
====================
Juha-Matti Tilli reported that malicious peers could inject tiny
packets in out_of_order_queue, forcing very expensive calls
to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() for
every incoming packet.
With tcp_rmem[2] default of 6MB, the ooo queue could
contain ~7000 nodes.
This patch series makes sure we cut cpu cycles enough to
render the attack not critical.
We might in the future go further, like disconnecting
or black-holing proven malicious flows.
