Subject: [PATCH net V2 2/2] ptr_ring: fail on large queue size (>64K)
Date: Thu,  8 Feb 2018 11:21:41 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1518060101-19071-2-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1518060101-19071-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com>

We need limit the maximum size of queue, otherwise it may cause
several side effects e.g slab will warn when the size exceeds
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. Using KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE still looks too so this patch
tries to limit it to 64K. This value could be revisited if we found a
real case that needs more.
