[ Upstream commit de766e570413bd0484af0b580299b495ada625c3 ] 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.
