3.16.69-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>
commit 967c05aee439e6e5d7d805e195b3a20ef5c433d6 upstream.
If mtu probing is enabled tcp_mtu_probing() could very well end up
with a too small MSS.
Use the new sysctl tcp_min_snd_mss to make sure MSS search
is performed in an acceptable range.
CVE-2019-11479 -- tcp mss hardcoded to 48
