From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> Instead of granting client's full requests until we hit our DRC size limit and then failing CREATE_SESSIONs (and hence mounts) completely, start granting clients smaller slot tables as we approach the limit. The factor chosen here is pretty much arbitrary. Signed-off-by: J.
