Subject: Re: net.ipv4.tcp_rmem does override net.core.rmem_max?
Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:20:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <56C36861.7030904@nh2.me> (raw)

Or, there is the following interpretation:

  "This  value  does  not  override   the   global
  net.core.rmem_max."

might mean

  "This value does not override the global
  net.core.rmem_max to the extent that it does
  not define the upper users can set with SO_RCVBUF.
  It does, however, override net.core.rmem_max if
  SO_RCVBUF is not used."

This would be consistent with my findings.

I'm not 100% confident about whether this is what the code does though,
see my comment

for details on that.
