[PATCH 3.16 10/10] tcp: enforce tcp_min_snd_mss in tcp_mtu_probing()

[Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>]

3.16.69-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

commit 967c05aee439e6e5d7d805e195b3a20ef5c433d6 upstream.

If mtu probing is enabled tcp_mtu_probing() could very well end up
with a too small MSS.

Use the new sysctl tcp_min_snd_mss to make sure MSS search
is performed in an acceptable range.

CVE-2019-11479 -- tcp mss hardcoded to 48
