Subject: [PATCH] tcp: Buffer sizes are *not* inherited on accept()/accept4()
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2025 18:26:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250120172636.2102207-1-sbrivio@redhat.com> (raw)

...so it's pointless to set SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF on listening
sockets.

Call tcp_sock_set_bufsize() after accept4(), for inbound sockets.

As we didn't have large buffer sizes set for inbound sockets for
a long time (they are set explicitly only if the maximum size is
big enough, more than than the ~200 KiB default), I ran some more
throughput tests for this one, and I see slightly better numbers
(say, 17 gbps instead of 15 gbps guest to host without vhost-user).

Fixes: 904b86ade7db ("tcp: Rework window handling, timers, add SO_RCVLOWAT and pools for sockets/pipes")
