Hi

I checked our 3.10 kernel, we had backported all percpu_counter bug fix in lib/percpu_counter.c and include/linux/percpu_counter.h.
And I check 4.13-rc6, also has the issue if NIC's rx cpu num big enough.

the issue:
Ip_defrag fail caused by frag_mem_limit reached 4M(frags.high_thresh).
At this moment,sum_frag_mem_limit is about 10K.
So should we change ipfrag high/low thresh to a reasonable value ? 
And if it is, is there a standard to change the value?
Each cpu can have frag_percpu_counter_batch bytes rest doesn't know
about so with 64 cpus that is ~8 mbyte.

possible solutions:
1. reduce frag_percpu_counter_batch to 16k or so
2. make both low and high thresh depend on NR_CPUS

liujian, does this change help in any way?
