-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: John Heffner In 2.6.18 a change was made to the tcp_mem[] calculations, but this causes regressions for some folks up to 2.6.20 The following fix to smooth out the calculation from the pending 2.6.21 tree by John Heffner fixes the problem for these folks. [TCP]: Fix tcp_mem[] initialization. Change tcp_mem initialization function. The fraction of total memory is now a continuous function of memory size, and independent of page size.
