       If you just unset it in .config and echo 0 >

    If you unset it in .config there is no possibility for
    ECN _anything_ to occur from our networking code, period.

    In this case, changing the tcp_ecn sysctl is a nop, it cannot change
    the behavior of anything whatsoever. Some monster with a funny sense
    of humor has crawled inside of your computer if changing the tcp_ecn
    sysctl does anything when CONFIG_INET_ECN is not set.
