[PATCH v1 resent] net: TCP_MSS_DEFAULT, TCP_MSS_DESIRED

[William Allen Simpson]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 694 bytes --]

Define two symbols needed in both kernel and user space.

Remove old (somewhat incorrect) kernel variant that wasn't used in
most cases.  Default should apply to both RMSS and SMSS (RFC2581).

Replace numeric constants with defined symbols.

Stand-alone patch, originally developed for TCPCT.

[David Miller]

I already applied this patch to net-next-2.6, there is no need
to resend it.

Cool, there wasn't your usual "applied" response to the list, so the
instructions say send again after waiting (5 days in this case), as it
might have been overlooked.

'git fetch' followed by 'git rebase origin/master' re-applies my patches
locally, but doesn't inform me that this patch has already been applied,
it just handles it silently....

I've found the log, it's commit bee7ca9ec03a26676ea2b1c28dc4039348eff3e1

Thanks!
