From d6e069f412edc02a0f2130fa47955d02e378d5f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lennart Poettering Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2018 17:37:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] def: add a "high" limit for RLIMIT_NOFILE This simply adds a new constant we can use for bumping RLIMIT_NOFILE to a "high" value. It default to 256K for now, which is pretty high, but smaller than the kernel built-in limit of 1M. Previously, some tools that needed a higher RLIMIT_NOFILE bumped it to 16K. This new define goes substantially higher than this, following the discussion with the kernel folks. --- src/basic/def.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/basic/def.h b/src/basic/def.h index 4d515c11b6a..05e352bc4f4 100644 --- a/src/basic/def.h +++ b/src/basic/def.h @@ -75,3 +75,5 @@ _CONF_PATHS_SPLIT_USR(n)) #define LONG_LINE_MAX (1U*1024U*1024U) + +#define HIGH_RLIMIT_NOFILE (256*1024) -- 2.47.3
