Can you integrate it into the 2.0.7 source tree too?
BTW: I tested it on Suse Linux 7.0 (Kernel 2.2.16) and had the following
limitations with the patch.
I did with bash:
echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
echo 30000 > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
works well.
Setting the rlimit works until the following:
rlp.rlim_max = 1048576; // Works on Linux 2.2.16
rlp.rlim_max = 1048577; // Operation not permitted on Linux 2.2.16
So rlp.rlim_max = RLIM_INFINITY; does not work on Linux 2.2.16.
So we could try infinity and when it does not work try this limit.
