SubjectRe: [PATCH] nfs: fix congestion control

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.
