How min_free_kbytes default size is calculated. Note that the comments mention network bandwidth.

The comments say:
 min_free_kbytes = 4 * sqrt(lowmem_kbytes), for better accuracy:
 min_free_kbytes = sqrt(lowmem_kbytes * 16)

So perhaps
 min_free_kbytes = sqrt(lowmem_kbytes * 32)
is more realistic in terms of what is actually needed to prevent this from happening?
