Proposal - increase SYSV SEMMNI and SEMMNS

2010-06-10 Thread Ivan Voras
Currently, the defaults are: kern.ipc.semmni: 10 kern.ipc.semmns: 60 but there are several nontrivial pieces of software that would use much more; two examples are PostgreSQL (the database) and Mono (the .net clone). I'd like to increase these defaults to: kern.ipc.semmni: 50 kern.ipc.semmns:

Quoting jhell jh...@dataix.net (from Wed, 09 Jun 2010 10:54:16 -0400): That would lead me to believe that the elimination of this sysctl would be better suited to solve the outcome of cases like this. And leads me to believe that it still rests on the end-user to tell whether or not they have

Re: GSoC: registration of optional kernel features via sysctl: a question to the community

2010-06-10 Thread Adrian Chadd
How about exposing a simple userspace API for doing this, rather than doing it via sysctl? That way you could simply tie alternative overrides in as needed for builds (eg, environment variables setting overrides; and/or pointing to a configuration file with such) but not affect any runtime
