Eric Dumazet 3e67f106f6 inet: frags: break the 2GB limit for frags storage
Some users are willing to provision huge amounts of memory to be able
to perform reassembly reasonnably well under pressure.

Current memory tracking is using one atomic_t and integers.

Switch to atomic_long_t so that 64bit arches can use more than 2GB,
without any cost for 32bit arches.

Note that this patch avoids an overflow error, if high_thresh was set
to ~2GB, since this test in inet_frag_alloc() was never true :

if (... || frag_mem_limit(nf) > nf->high_thresh)

Tested:

$ echo 16000000000 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_high_thresh

<frag DDOS>

$ grep FRAG /proc/net/sockstat
FRAG: inuse 14705885 memory 16000002880

$ nstat -n ; sleep 1 ; nstat | grep Reas
IpReasmReqds                    3317150            0.0
IpReasmFails                    3317112            0.0

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
