BTW, previous kernels were rounding too :

1 -> 3
2 -> 3
3 -> 3
4 -> 6
5 -> 6
6 -> 6
7 -> 12
8 -> 12
9 -> 12
10 -> 12
11 -> 12
12 -> 12
13 -> 24
14 -> 24
15 -> 24
16 -> 24
17 -> 24
18 -> 24
19 -> 24

New kernel (or other sysctl settings, I didnot check) :

1 -> 3
2 -> 3
3 -> 3
4 -> 9
5 -> 9
6 -> 9
7 -> 9
8 -> 9
9 -> 9
10 -> 21
11 -> 21
12 -> 21
13 -> 21
14 -> 21
15 -> 21
16 -> 21
17 -> 21
18 -> 21
19 -> 21
