Hai ,
I have some doubts .
Linux kernel support per user limit . I found the
CHILD_MAX and lot such variables defined even getrlimit method return
me the the value 999 . But in the header file it is written no limit .
Again i tried to fork more than 512( this number i gor from
www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/tlk/tlk.html , process section ) the system got
hanged and even the reset button was not working . I am linux 2.2.12
kernel which i think is stable . Again i din't find the value
MAX_TASKS_PER_USER defined in linux/tasks.h not used in the kernel . Is
that i missed the file containing it . But then it should come in fork.c
. Putting all together is there any per process limitation or per user
limitation .? If not why these variables defined . Is for future
support . Why setrlimit with corresponding option . ? Can any one
elaborate on these things . Or can any point to me any good url which
explain these things ?
TIA
regards
aneesh
