net/ipfrag: let ip[6]frag_high_thresh in ns be higher than in init_net
Currently, ip[6]frag_high_thresh sysctl values in new namespaces are hard-limited to those of the root/init ns. There are at least two use cases when it would be desirable to set the high_thresh values higher in a child namespace vs the global hard limit: - a security/ddos protection policy may lower the thresholds in the root/init ns but allow for a special exception in a child namespace - testing: a test running in a namespace may want to set these thresholds higher in its namespace than what is in the root/init ns The new behavior: # ip netns add testns # ip netns exec testns bash # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000 The old behavior: # ip netns add testns # ip netns exec testns bash # sysctl -w net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 4194304 # sysctl -w net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh=9000000 net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 9000000 # sysctl net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 4194304 Signed-off-by: Peter Oskolkov <posk@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
