 udp_wmem_min - INTEGER
 	UDP does not have tx memory accounting and this tunable has no effect.
 
+udp_hash_entries - INTEGER
+	Read-only number of hash buckets for UDP sockets in the current
+	networking namespace.
+
+	A negative value means the networking namespace does not own its
+	hash buckets and shares the initial networking namespace's one.
+
+udp_child_ehash_entries - INTEGER
+	Control the number of hash buckets for UDP sockets in the child
+	networking namespace, which must be set before clone() or unshare().
+
+	The written value except for 0 is rounded up to 2^n.  0 is a special
+	value, meaning the child networking namespace will share the initial
+	networking namespace's hash buckets.
+
+	Note that the child will use the global one in case the kernel
+	fails to allocate enough memory.
