 (kernel version : 2.6.17)

init_task.signal->rlim[RLIMIT_NPROC].rlim_max = max_threads/2;
ok .no prob . ( limits for the init_task set at half of max_threads ) .

 init_task.signal->rlim[RLIMIT_NPROC].rlim_cur = max_threads/2;
  why ? . is it necessary ?

rlim_cur is the actually enforced limit

All rlim_max does is put an upper bound on how high the
rlim_cur limit can be set.
