I'm not sure I agree with that.  Generally speaking it seems like the right
thing to do, if you want to avoid filling logs with warnings, but this is the

I'd rather see a reason behind that in the logs, than just have it occur
silently.
Its not silent -- the setsockopt call will fail and userspace should
display an error.

So I agree with Marcelo, lets suppress the oom spew here.
