Subject: [PATCH] tcp: set socket buffer sizes before listen/connect/accept

Attempting to set SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF on TCP sockets after connection
establishment is incorrect and some stacks ignore the set call on the socket at
this point.  This has been observed on MacOS/iOS.  Windows 7 has some peculiar
behavior where setting SO_RCVBUF after applies only if the buffer is increasing
from the default while decreases are ignored.  This is possibly how the incorrect
usage has gone unnoticed

Unix Network Programming Vol. 1: The Sockets Networking API (3rd edition, seciton 7.5):

"When setting the size of the TCP socket receive buffer, the ordering of the
function calls is important.  This is because of TCP's window scale option,
which is exchanged with the peer on SYN segments when the connection is
established. For a client, this means the SO_RCVBUF socket option must be
set before calling connect.  For a server, this means the socket option must
be set for the listening socket before calling listen.  Setting this option
for the connected socket will have no effect whatsoever on the possible window
scale option because accept does not return with the connected socket until
TCP's three-way handshake is complete.  This is why the option must be set on
the listening socket. (The sizes of the socket buffers are always inherited from
the listening socket by the newly created connected socket)"
