When restricting the value supplied for SO_RCVBUF to be no greater than what is specified by sysctl_rmem_max, properly cap the value to the *available* space that sysctl_rmem_max would provide, rather than to the raw value of sysctl_rmem_max. Without this change, it is possible to cause sk_rcvbuf to be assigned a value larger than sysctl_rmem_max via setsockopt() for SO_RCVBUF. To illustrate: If an application calls setsockopt() to set SO_RCVBUF to some value, R, such that: sysctl_rmem_max / 2 < R < sysctl_rmem_max and sk_rcvbuf will be assigned to some value, V, such that: V = R * 2 which produces: R = V / 2 Then, sysctl_rmem_max / 2 < V / 2 < sysctl_rmem_max which produces: sysctl_rmem_max < V < 2 * sysctl_rmem_max For example: If sysctl_rmem_max has a value of 212992, and an application calls setsockopt() to set SO_RCVBUF to 200000 (which is less than sysctl_rmem_max, but greater than sysctl_rmem_max/2), then, without this change, sk_rcvbuf would be set to 2*200000 = 400000, which is larger than sysctl_rmem_max. This change restricts the domain of R to [0, sysctl_rmem_max/2], removing the possibility for V to be greater than sysctl_rmem_max. Also, abstract the actions of converting "buffer" space to and from "available" space and clarify comments.
