Hmmm,
is this a finished patch? A cursory look turns up this:
1642 + if (getrctl ("process.max-port-events", NULL, rblk, RCTL_FIRST)
== -1) {
1643 + perror ("getrctl");
1644 + exit (1);
1645 + } else {
1646 + if (max_port_evnets > rctlblk_get_value(rblk))
1647 + max_port_evnets = rctlblk_get_value(rblk);
1648 + GAM_DEBUG(DEBUG_INFO, "FENKERNEL : max event of a port: %u\n",
max_port_evnets);
1649 + }
Reading the code, 'max_port_evnets' is obviously a typo-ed version of
'max_port_events'. However, rather then correcting the typo, a
max_port_evnets variable was added, directly above (!) the spot where
the correctly spelled variable is declared:
1309 +
1310 +static ulong max_port_evnets = 512;
1311 +static ulong max_port_events = 256;
1312 +static GList *pn_vq; /* the queue of ports which don't have the
max objs */
Cheers,
