Will fix this.

The default value is chosen so that it works best for most workloads while not taking too much system resources. It should work out of box for nearly all customers.

But what we see is that from time to time, some customers still want to change those values to work best for their workloads. It's hard to predict their workload. They have to recompile the kernel if there is no module parameter to do it. So the intent of this module parameter is that if the default value works for you, don't mess up with it.

Will fix this.
