Merge branch 'icmp-better-deal-with-ddos'
Eric Dumazet says: ==================== icmp: better deal with DDOS When dealing with death of big UDP servers, admins might want to increase net.ipv4.icmp_msgs_per_sec and net.ipv4.icmp_msgs_burst to big values (2,000,000 or more). They also might need to tune the per-host ratelimit to 1ms or 0ms in favor of the global rate limit. This series fixes bugs showing up in all these needs. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260216142832.3834174-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
