[Users] kernel: TCP: time wait bucket table overflow

[Konstantin A. Lepikhov]

Hi!

After updating to test018 OpenVZ patch my syslog full of those messages.
/proc/user_beancounters shows nothing unusual comparing with previous
kernel. Various docs says that this message indicates low memory situation
or simple DoS attack and consider increase net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets but
it didn't help. I'm found another sysctl - net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets_ub,
but it undocumentend in ovz docs and looking in code shows that it's
internal switch for ubc counters. So what I can do now and how ovz kernel
affects this? :) Okay, it's heavy loaded system with 2 Gigs of RAM/1.4 P4
CPU and 1x100Mbit e100 NIC. According nginx internal status there is not
so many connections:

PS I can attach kernel buildconfig and dmesg if needed.
