From edac450d5b5d47aa11e614f19c8f9b17f362e608 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Fri, 1 May 2015 08:27:59 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] netlink: Remove max_size setting We currently limit the hash table size to 64K which is very bad as even 10 years ago it was relatively easy to generate millions of sockets. Since the hash table is naturally limited by memory allocation failure, we don't really need an explicit limit so this patch removes it.
