Hi!
in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/tasks.h I read:
-----------------------------------------------
/*
* This is the maximum nr of tasks - change it if you need to
*/
#ifdef __SMP__
#define NR_CPUS 32 /* Max processors that can be running in
SMP */
#else
#define NR_CPUS 1
#endif
#define NR_TASKS 512 /* On x86 Max 4092, or 4090 w/APM
configured. */
#define MAX_TASKS_PER_USER (NR_TASKS/2)
#define MIN_TASKS_LEFT_FOR_ROOT 4
----------------------------------------------
Why is NR_TASKS limited to 4092 for x86 ?
I would find it useful if I could have 32000 tasks which the numbering
space for PID would allow.
Why isn't there a configuration option in make config for the max number
of processes?
And why is there a default value of only 512 even when 4090 is possible?
Greetings, Michael
