Well this all depends on the memory available to the running process. If the process is just allowed to allocate from a subset of memory (cpusets) then this may need to be lower.

Hmmm... lets say we have the worst case of an 8TB IA64 system with 1k nodes of 8G each. On Ia64 the number of pages is 8TB/16KB pagesize = 512 million pages. Thus nfs_congestion_size is 724064 pages which is 11.1Gbytes?
If we now restrict a cpuset to a single node then have a nfs_congestion_size of 11.1G vs an available memory on a node of 8G. - 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/
