When the size of the receive buffer for a socket is close to 2^31 when computing if we have enough space in the buffer to copy a packet from the queue to the buffer we might hit an integer overflow. When an user set net.core.rmem_default to a value close to 2^31 UDP packets are dropped because of this overflow. This can be visible, for instance, with failure to resolve hostnames. This can be fixed by casting sk_rcvbuf (which is an int) to unsigned int, similarly to how it is done in TCP. Signed-off-by: Antonio Messina <amessina@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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 Restructured Text 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.
