Subject: lockd: set svc_serv->sv_maxconn to a more reasonable value (try #3)
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.29-rc1~177^2~61
X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?p=linux-2.6-block.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=c72a476b4b7ecadb80185de31236edb303c1a5d0

lockd: set svc_serv->sv_maxconn to a more reasonable value (try #3)

The default method for calculating the number of connections allowed
per RPC service arbitrarily limits single-threaded services to 80
connections. This is too low for services like lockd and artificially
limits the number of TCP clients that it can support.

Have lockd set a default sv_maxconn value to 1024 (which is the typical
default value for RLIMIT_NOFILE. Also add a module parameter to allow an
admin to set this to an arbitrary value.
