[TCP]: sysctl to allow TCP window > 32767 sans wscale
Back in the dark ages, we had to be conservative and only allow 15-bit window fields if the window scale option was not negotiated. Some ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of the TCP header and would get confused. Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default now. There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old stacks Signed-off-by: Rick Jones <rick.jones2@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
