[PATCH 3/7] FS-Cache: Avoid ENFILE checking for kernel-specific open files
From: David Howells
Date: Thu Apr 20 2006 - 13:00:11 EST
Make it possible to avoid ENFILE checking for kernel specific open files, such
as are used by the CacheFiles module.
After, for example, tarring up a kernel source tree over the network, the
CacheFiles module may easily have 20000+ files open in the backing filesystem,
thus causing all non-root processes to be given error ENFILE when they try to
open a file, socket, pipe, etc..
