Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Per socket value for max datagram queue length

Provides a new option for setsockopt SO_MAX_DGRAM_QLEN that sets and
gets a socket specific max datagram queue length. Currently each socket
has one but it's only ever initialized from
/proc/sys/net/unix/max_dgram_qlen and then never adjustable later. Now
each socket can have it individually tweaked during it's life.

Shouldn't the backlog be capped for unprivileged users to some configurable
value? I even think that max_dgram_qlen should be the upper bound.

I guess it is not that serious as socket read accounting does account all
packets which sit in the backlog queue.

Your patch suffers from many problems.

It breaks listen()

It doesn't compile on a lot of arches.

sk_max_ack_backlog is an unsigned short.

max_dgram_qlen is used, but only for Unix sockets at this time
Try : "git grep -n max_dgram_qlen" for details

This needs to be added in more than just asm-generic, e.g.
have a look at SO_MAX_PACING_RATE or SO_BPF_EXTENSIONS.

Also you might need to rebase to current net-next head and
maybe describe use cases more in-depth; next to what Hannes
just commented.

Just a follow-up:

sk_max_ack_backlog is also responsible for limiting the af_unix
dgram queues. Currently there is no socket accounting for the read
side of those unix dgram sockets. I tried to fix this once here,
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/231032/, but until that is done we
depend on max_dgram_qlen to limit those queues at all.

I hope I can get back to this patch anytime soon, as it solves the problem
that a bidirectional protocol ping-ponging with a dgram server socket
and not fetching its messages from the backlog queue can bring a server
to halt because it doesn't have any send space on the socket anymore.

Greetings,

Hannes
