[PATCH 5.10 254/770] fanotify: limit number of event merge attempts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b8cd0ee8cda68a888a317991c1e918a8cba1a568 ]

Event merges are expensive when event queue size is large, so limit the
linear search to 128 merge tests.

In combination with 128 size hash table, there is a potential to merge
with up to 16K events in the hashed queue.
