We have a patch that we haven't submitted yet (out of mostlyt cowardice) that makes this fully dynamic. task->groups is dynamically allocated and handled, and can grow up to a sysctl() defined maximum.
It has been working wonderfully for 10,000+ groups. Does this patch have a chance in hell of going standard?? (don't have the patch on hand, or I'd post it). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
