Subject: [PATCH] Size max files based on memory size
Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2002 05:53:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020204055346.A18191@averell> (raw)
Hi,
The default files_max settings of 8192 is rather low for many workloads.
This patch changes it to be sized based on the available memory. It assumes
file + inode + dentry are roughly 1K and will use upto 10% of the available
memory for files_max.
Also removes two obsolete prototypes in the include file.
Patch for 2.5.3. Please consider applying.
Thanks,
-Andi
