Subject: [PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:16:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080211141813.354484000@bull.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080211141646.948191000@bull.net

[-- Attachment #1: ipc_scale_msgmni_with_lowmem.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3661 bytes --]

[PATCH 01/08]

This patch computes msg_ctlmni to make it scale with the amount of lowmem.
msg_ctlmni is now set to make the message queues occupy 1/32 of the available
lowmem.

Some cleaning has also been done for the MSGPOOL constant: the msgctl man page
says it's not used, but it also defines it as a size in bytes (the code
expresses it in Kbytes).
