Subject[PATCH 3/3] epoll: add /proc/sys/fs/epoll/limits interface
Date
This is a 6 value vector containing max_user_instances and
max_user_watches constants as well as the current userid and
highest value for any user of these items.

Setting max_user_watches to '0' makes it unlimited.

+limits
+------
+
+The limits file contains information that can be used to judge the
+appropriateness of your max_user_instances and max_user_watches settings.
+
+This file is read-only, and contains 6 integer values:
+
+instances_uid - the UID of the user with the most instances
+num_user_instances - the number of epoll instances the above UID has
+max_user_instances - the configured maximum (for comparison)
+watches_uid - the UID of the user with the most watches
+num_user_watches - the number of epoll watches the above UID has
+max_user_watches - the configured maximum (for comparison)
+
+By comparing the "num" and "max" values you can see if you are getting
+close to the limit, and then use the UID field to see which user is
+responsible.
+
+(caveat: a daemon like Postfix might create the epoll watch before
+dropping privileges - in this case the watch will be charged to root)
+
