ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hpa/dynpty-test-2.patch ... against the current top-of-bkcvs 2.6 kernel. This version of the patch makes *both* legacy and Unix98 ptys configure options (Unix98 only if EMBEDDED), and the number of legacy ptys is a configuration option -- useful if you want to reduce the memory footprint, or if you really wants lots of these guys (256 is no longer a hard limit.) Additionally, I have added a sysctl option -- /proc/sys/kernel/pty/max -- for limiting the number of Unix98 ptys. It was way too effective a DoS to eat up all kernel memory by opening /dev/ptmx repeatedly. The default is 4096, but it can be adjusted all the way up to 2^20 if desirable. -hpa - 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/ | ||||||||||||
