You don't know how much you will need. I exhausted the limit on sparc64 very late in the boot process when the last few userland services were starting up. And if I subsequently bring up 100,000 IP tunnels, it will exhaust the per-cpu allocation area. You have to make it fully dynamic, there is no way around it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
