This is a genuine bug fix so I'll apply this, thanks for taking care of these corner-case bugs in TCP sizing Jeff. > 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. Longer term, yes, probably a better way exists. So you concern is that when we round to a power of 2 like we do now, we often mis-shoot? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
