Subject[PATCH net] tcp: note that tcp_rmem[1] has a limited range
Date
The value of rcv_ssthresh is limited to tcp_rwin, which is limited
to 64k at the handshake time, since window scaling is not allowed there.

Let's add a note to the docs that increasing tcp_rmem[1] does not have
any effect on raising the initial value of rcv_ssthresh past 64k.
