Its not a matter of tx or rx, but percentage of error.
If truesize accounting is wrong by 10%, its not a big deal, because we normally limit tcp_mem[] to about 16% of available physical memory.
Using 16% of physical memory instead of 16% should not really matter.
Now, if the truesize is wrong by 1600%, then its pretty clear we can consume all the meory.
