  • bcadbbd4c   Documentation: update stale definition of file-nr in fs.txt ... Browse Code »

    In "documentation: update Documentation/filesystem/proc.txt and
    Documentation/sysctls" (commit 760df93ec) we merged /proc/sys/fs
    documentation in Documentation/sysctl/fs.txt and
    Documentation/filesystem/proc.txt, but stale file-nr definition
    remained.

    This patch adds back the right fs-nr definition for 2.6 kernel.

    Now /proc/sys is described in many places and much information is
    redundant. This patch updates the proc.txt and move the /proc/sys
    desciption out to the files in Documentation/sysctls.

    Details are:

    merge
    - 2.1 /proc/sys/fs - File system data
    - 2.11 /proc/sys/fs/mqueue - POSIX message queues filesystem
    - 2.17 /proc/sys/fs/epoll - Configuration options for the epoll interface
    with Documentation/sysctls/fs.txt.

    remove
    - 2.2 /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc - Miscellaneous binary formats
    since it's not better then the Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt.

    merge
    - 2.3 /proc/sys/kernel - general kernel parameters
    with Documentation/sysctls/kernel.txt

    remove
    - 2.5 /proc/sys/dev - Device specific parameters
    since it's obsolete the sysfs is used now.

    remove
    - 2.6 /proc/sys/sunrpc - Remote procedure calls
    since it's not better then the Documentation/sysctls/sunrpc.txt

    move
    - 2.7 /proc/sys/net - Networking stuff
    - 2.9 Appletalk
    - 2.10 IPX
    to newly created Documentation/sysctls/net.txt.

    remove
    - 2.8 /proc/sys/net/ipv4 - IPV4 settings
    since it's not better then the Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt.

    add
    - Chapter 3 Per-Process Parameters
    to descibe /proc//xxx parameters.

  • 9cfe015aa   get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_open ... Browse Code »

    NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
    more than 1024*1024 handles.

    Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
    value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.

    Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
    exhaust.

    This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
    1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload
    needs it.

    [akpm@linux-foundation.org: export it for sparc64]

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
