While testing TCP performance with latest trees,
I saw suspect SOCKET_BACKLOG drops.
tcp_add_backlog() computes its limit with :
limit = (u32)READ_ONCE(sk->sk_rcvbuf) +
(u32)(READ_ONCE(sk->sk_sndbuf) >> 1);
limit += 64 * 1024;
This does not take into account that sk->sk_backlog.len
is reset only at the very end of __release_sock().
Both sk->sk_backlog.len and sk->sk_rmem_alloc could reach
sk_rcvbuf in normal conditions.
We should double sk->sk_rcvbuf contribution in the formula
to absorb bubbles in the backlog, which happen more often
for very fast flows.
This change maintains decent protection against abuses.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
