Limit sysctl_tcp_mem and sysctl_udp_mem initializers to prevent integer overflows.
[ Upstream fixed this in a different way as parts of the commits: 8d987e5c7510 (net: avoid limits overflow) a9febbb4bd13 (sysctl: min/max bounds are optional) 27b3d80a7b6a (sysctl: fix min/max handling in __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax()) -DaveM ] On a 16TB x86_64 machine, sysctl_tcp_mem[2], sysctl_udp_mem[2], and sysctl_sctp_mem[2] can integer overflow. Set limit such that they are maximized without overflowing. Signed-off-by: Robin Holt <holt@sgi.com> To: "David S.
