    net/ipfrag: let ip[6]frag_high_thresh in ns be higher than in init_net · 83619623
    Peter Oskolkov authored
    Currently, ip[6]frag_high_thresh sysctl values in new namespaces are
    hard-limited to those of the root/init ns.
    
    There are at least two use cases when it would be desirable to
    set the high_thresh values higher in a child namespace vs the global hard
    limit:
    
    - a security/ddos protection policy may lower the thresholds in the
      root/init ns but allow for a special exception in a child namespace
    - testing: a test running in a namespace may want to set these
      thresholds higher in its namespace than what is in the root/init ns
    
    The new behavior:
    
     # ip netns add testns
     # ip netns exec testns bash
    
     # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh=9000000
     net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000
    
     # sysctl net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh
     net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000
    
     # sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh=9000000
     net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000
    
     # sysctl net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh
     net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000
    
    The old behavior:
    
     # ip netns add testns
     # ip netns exec testns bash
    
     # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh=9000000
     net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000
    
     # sysctl net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh
     net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 4194304
    
     # sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh=9000000
     net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000
    
     # sysctl net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh
     net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 4194304
