The hash sizing code needs far more tweaks. iirc it can still allocate several GB hash tables on large memory systems (i've seen that once in the boot log of a 2TB system). Even on smaller systems it is usually too much. IMHO there needs to be a maximum size (maybe related to the sum of caches of all CPUs in the system?) Best would be to fix this for all large system hashes together. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
