Subject: [PATCH v2] kernel/fork: Increase minimum number of allowed threads
|
|
|
|
A modern Linux system creates much more than 20 threads at bootup.
|
|
When I booted up OpenWrt in qemu the system sometimes failed to boot up
|
|
when it wanted to create the 419th thread. The VM had 128MB RAM and the
|
|
calculation in set_max_threads() calculated that max_threads should be
|
|
set to 419. When the system booted up it tried to notify the user space
|
|
about every device it created because CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER was set and
|
|
used. I counted 1299 calls to call_usermodehelper_setup(), all of
|
|
them try to create a new thread and call the userspace hotplug script in
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
This fixes bootup of Linux on systems with low memory.
|
|
|
|
I saw the problem with qemu 10.0.2 using these commands:
|
|
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -nographic
