Dependant (secondary) parameters are directly connected to the primary ones and can't be configured arbitrarily.
Units. The oomguarpages and privvmpages values are measured in memory pages (4KB on 32-bit Intel-family processors). For the remaining secondary parameters, the values are measured in bytes.
System-wide limits. All secondary parameters are related to memory. The sum of the limits of memory-related parameters of all Containers running in a system must not exceed the physical resources of the server. The restrictions on the configuration of memory-related parameters are listed in the Checking Usage and Distribution of System Resources and Validating Settings of All Containers subsection. Those restrictions are very important since their violation may allow any Container cause the whole system to hang.
