So we can increase MAX_LINKS to 256 and that's what I think I will do for 2.6.14 unless there is a very serious objection. The tables sized by MAX_LINKS in af_netlink.c are dynamically allocated, and the only linear iterations over MAX_LINKS are for the netlink socket procfs seq-file dumper, so it's not a performance issue either.
I think we should increase it when allocating new numbers to save the unused memory for the larger nltable and additional pid hashes. Userspace shouldn't care if we change it. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
