The hash table doubles each time it reaches 75% full.
A hash table for 32m items @ 16 bytes each (8 byte key, 8 byte void *
data) needs 512MB of memory.
At the next doubling (up to 64m items) it hits the array allocator limit
in utils2.c:
#define MALLOC_MAX 0x4000
void *_new_array(unsigned long num, unsigned int size, int use_calloc)
{
if (num >= MALLOC_MAX/size)
return NULL;
return use_calloc ? calloc(num, size) : malloc(num * size);
}
void *_realloc_array(void *ptr, unsigned int size, size_t num)
{
if (num >= MALLOC_MAX/size)
return NULL;
if (!ptr)
return malloc(size * num);
return realloc(ptr, size * num);
}
No single array allocation or reallocation is allowed to exceed
MALLOC_MAX (1GB).
Hence rsync can only handle up to 32m items per invocation if a hash
table is required (e.g. for tracking hardlinks when -H is specified).
HTH,
