From 96165b9eb4207a34a87c46df731d3cc42c052e13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Wu Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 11:32:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] gdbstub: set listen backlog to 1 Avoid possible connection drops on Linux (when tcp_syncookies is disabled) or fallbacks to SYN cookies with the following kernel warning: TCP: request_sock_TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 1234. Sending cookies. Check SNMP counters. Since Linux 4.4 (ef547f2ac16b "tcp: remove max_qlen_log"), a backlog of zero is really treated as the "queue length for completely established sockets waiting to be accepted" (listen(2)). This is apparently a valid interpretation of an "implementation-defined minimum value" for a backlog value of 0 (listen(3p)). Previous kernels would use 8 as minimum value, but that is no longer the case.
