3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Hangbin Liu <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 42493570100b91ef663c4c6f0c0fdab238f9d3c2 ] TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is a TCP level socket option that takes an unsigned int. But patch "tcp: Add TCP_USER_TIMEOUT socket option"(dca43c75) didn't check the negative values. If a user assign -1 to it, the socket will set successfully and wait for 4294967295 miliseconds. This patch add a negative value check to avoid this issue. Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
