tcp_maximize_sndbuf behavior broken on Linux

Open seppo0010 opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

I was writing a test for tcp_maximize_sndbuf and it was easy on OS X, but it's current implementation makes no sense on Linux (Ubuntu).

The implementation does a binary search with these values:

134250496 0
201342976 0
234889216 0
251662336 0
260048896 0
264242176 0
266338816 0
267387136 0
267911296 0
268173376 0
268304416 0
268369936 0
268402696 0
268419076 0
268427266 0
268431361 0
268433409 0
268434433 0
268434945 0
268435201 0
268435329 0
268435393 0
268435425 0
268435441 0
268435449 0
268435453 0
268435455 0
268435456 0

The left column is the attempted value and the right column is the status received. It can be seen that the status is always 0, meaning that setsockopt never fails even if the value used is higher than the maximum value possible. Calling getsockopt at the end returns the value 425984 (at least on my machine), which is lower than any value attempted.

Should we set it to INT_MAX instead of doing the binary search?
