[NET]: Make sure l_linger is unsigned to avoid negative timeouts
One of my x86_64 (linux 2.6.13) server log is filled with :
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff06 from ffffffff802e63ca
This is because some application does a
struct linger li;
li.l_onoff = 1;
li.l_linger = -1;
setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, &li, sizeof(li));
And unfortunatly l_linger is defined as a 'signed int' in
include/linux/socket.h:
struct linger {
int l_onoff; /* Linger active */
int l_linger; /* How long to linger for */
};
I dont know if it's safe to change l_linger to 'unsigned int' in the
include file (It might be defined as int in ABI specs)
