[patch V2 4/7] futex: Add sysctl knobs for process private hash

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Thu May 05 2016 - 15:06:51 EST


From: Sebastian Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

To adjust the default hash size and the maximum hash size for process private
futexes we add the following sysctls:

futex_private_default_hash_bits:

Adjusts the default hash size (in bits) which is used for automatic hash
allocations on the first futex operation

futex_private_max_hash_bits:

Adjusts the maximum hash size (in bits). This limits the hash size which
can be preallocated by applications with the FUTEX_PREALLOC_HASH op.
