knfsd: nfsd4: vary maximum delegation limit based on RAM size
Our original NFSv4 delegation policy was to give out a read delegation on any
open when it was possible to.
Since the lifetime of a delegation isn't limited to that of an open, a client
may quite reasonably hang on to a delegation as long as it has the inode
cached. This becomes an obvious problem the first time a client's inode cache
approaches the size of the server's total memory.
Our first quick solution was to add a hard-coded limit. This patch makes a
mild incremental improvement by varying that limit according to the server's
total memory size, allowing at most 4 delegations per megabyte of RAM.
My quick back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that in the worst case (where
every delegation is for a different inode), a delegation could take about
1.5K, which would make the worst case usage about 6% of memory. The new limit
works out to be about the same as the old on a 1-gig server.
