NAME
       sk_adjust_memalloc - adjust the global memalloc reserve for critical RX

SYNOPSIS
       int sk_adjust_memalloc(int socks, long tx_reserve_pages);

ARGUMENTS
       socks
	   number of new SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets

       tx_reserve_pages
	   -- undescribed --

DESCRIPTION
       This function adjusts the memalloc reserve based on system demand. The RX reserve is a limit, and only added once, not for each socket.

NOTE
       tx_reserve_pages is an upper-bound of memory used for TX hence we need not account the pages like we do for RX pages.
