    tcp: fix SO_RCVLOWAT and RCVBUF autotuning · d1361840
    Eric Dumazet authored
    Applications might use SO_RCVLOWAT on TCP socket hoping to receive
    one [E]POLLIN event only when a given amount of bytes are ready in socket
    receive queue.
    
    Problem is that receive autotuning is not aware of this constraint,
    meaning sk_rcvbuf might be too small to allow all bytes to be stored.
    
    Add a new (struct proto_ops)->set_rcvlowat method so that a protocol
    can override the default setsockopt(SO_RCVLOWAT) behavior.
