Subject: [PATCH] net/tcp: Fix tcp memory limits initialization when
 !CONFIG_SYSCTL


ok, the patch works fine - in the tested version i've renamed 
the function and cleaned up the changelog a bit, see the final 
patch below.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Subject: [PATCH] net/tcp: Fix tcp memory limits initialization when !CONFIG_SYSCTL

sysctl_tcp_mem() initialization was moved to sysctl_tcp_ipv4.c 
in commit 3dc43e3e4d0b52197d3205214fe8f162f9e0c334, since it 
became a per-ns value.

That code, however, will never run when CONFIG_SYSCTL is 
disabled, leading to bogus values on those fields - causing hung 
TCP sockets.

This patch fixes it by keeping an initialization code in 
tcp_init(). It will be overwritten by the first net namespace 
init if CONFIG_SYSCTL is compiled in, and do the right thing if 
it is compiled out.

It is also named properly as tcp_init_mem(), to properly signal 
its non-sysctl side effect on TCP limits.
