Subject: maxsockbuf is useless value {?|:-(}

Folks,
Working with Sun JDK network code I have realized a need to provide some
range checking wrapper for setsockopt() in SO_{SND,RCV}BUF cases. Short
walk over documentation shown that maximum buffer size is exported via
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf sysctl. But attempt to use this value as maximum
buffer size was not successful -- it is too large for kernel.
Short analyzis of kernel code shown that failing checks (around sbreserve())
are done against $sb_max_adj instead of $sb_max which is reflected to sysctl.
$sb_max_adj is always less then $sb_max, therefore we will _always_
fail in attempt to use $sb_max. Testcase is below.
Any suggestions how to workaround this case ? Additionally, I think that
such behaviour is incorrect and should be fixed in kernel as well.

/*

main()
{
int mib[3] = { CTL_KERN, KERN_IPC, KIPC_MAXSOCKBUF };
size_t rlen;
int s;
socklen_t sz;
int maxsockbuf;
int status;
rlen = sizeof(maxsockbuf);
if (sysctl(mib, 3, &maxsockbuf, &rlen, NULL, 0) < 0)
perror("sysctl");
printf("kern.ipc.maxsockbuf = %d\n", maxsockbuf);
if ((s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0)
perror("socket");
sz = sizeof(maxsockbuf);
status = setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &maxsockbuf, sz);
if (status == 0) {
printf("setsockopt: OK\n");
} else if (errno == ENOBUFS) {
printf("setsockopt: KABOOM (ENOBUFS returned)\n");
} else {
perror("getsockopt");
}
}
