Admittedly, filemax/2 is a Weasel Number -- we want to avoid running the system out of memory, but we also have no idea how much memory actually gets consumed by an open tempfile. On my debug system it's 1664 bytes for the inode, 320 bytes for the dentry, and 16 bytes for the unlinked backref, but that's not guaranteed. Ideally we'd stop ourselves at (free memory / 2k) tempfiles, but the "2k" part is hard to figure. So we just cap ourselves at filemax/2 and hope that filemax is set sanely. I guess we I could go for (filemax-filenr)/2? Though that will cause minor fluctuations in the test behavior across runs on the same machine.
