tcp/dccp: warn user for preferred ip_local_port_range
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
After commit 07f4c90 ("tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust
ip_local_port_range in connect()") it is advised to have an even number
of ports described in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range

This means start/end values should have a different parity.

Let's warn sysadmins of this, so that they can update their settings
if they want to.
