Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 4/4] neighbour: Floor INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS at 1000.
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 19:44:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261012194530.3751034-5-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261012194530.3751034-1-kuniyu@google.com>

Previously, the lower bound of INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS was capped
at 1s by commit ed6cd6a17896 ("net, neigh: Set lower cap for
neigh_managed_work rearming").

Later, commit 211da42eaa45 ("net, neigh: introduce
interval_probe_time_ms for periodic probe") changed the limit
to 1ms.

The limit actually did not work but was fixed with
netlink_range_validation by commit 6d79b223ec44 ("neighbour:
Enforce min/max to NDTPA_INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS.").

neigh_table is now per-netns, and a user could hog CPU by setting
INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS to a small value.

Let's floor the value at 1 second.
