Lets use following patch ?
[PATCH] net: refine {udp|tcp|sctp}_mem limits
Current tcp/udp/sctp global memory limits are not taking into account
hugepages allocations, and allow 50% of ram to be used by buffers of a
single protocol [ not counting space used by sockets / inodes ...]
Lets use nr_free_buffer_pages() and allow a default of 1/8 of kernel ram
per protocol, and a minimum of 128 pages.
Heavy duty machines sysadmins probably need to tweak limits anyway.
