The initial values of sysctl_tcp_mem are sometimes greater than the total memory in the system (particularly on SMP systems). This patch ensures that tcp_mem[2] is always <= 3/4 nr_kernel_pages. However, I wonder if we want to set this differently than the way this patch does it. Depending on how far off the memory size is from a power of two (exactly equal to a power of two is the worst case), and if total memory <128M, it can be substantially less than 3/4. -John
