From 47112e25da41d9059626033986dc3353e101f815 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerrit Renker Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:35:08 -0700 Subject: udplite: Protection against coverage value wrap-around This patch clamps the cscov setsockopt values to a maximum of 0xFFFF. Setsockopt values greater than 0xffff can cause an unwanted wrap-around. Further, IPv6 jumbograms are not supported (RFC 3838, 3.5), so that values greater than 0xffff are not even useful. Further changes: fixed a typo in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker Signed-off-by: David S.
