Just for readability.

We would need to that for > other constant then and a fast grep gives me : Something like #define UIDHASH_BITS CONFIG_UID_HASH_BITS config UID_HASH_BITS int default 3 if BASE_SMALL default 8 But, I guess the incentive is pretty small when there are really only two values, and the logic is extremely simple. > include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_mpspec.h:#if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL == 0 > include/linux/threads.h:#define PID_MAX_DEFAULT (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 0x1000 > : 0x8000) > include/linux/threads.h:#define PID_MAX_LIMIT (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? > PAGE_SIZE * 8 : \ > include/linux/user.h:#define UIDHASH_BITS (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 3 : 8) > include/linux/vt_kern.h:#define CON_BUF_SIZE (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 256 : > PAGE_SIZE) > include/linux/autoconf.h:#define CONFIG_BASE_SMALL 0 > include/config/auto.conf:CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 > kernel/futex.c:#define FUTEX_HASHBITS (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 4 : 8) > kernel/timer.c:#define TVN_BITS (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 4 : 6) > kernel/timer.c:#define TVR_BITS (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 6 : 8) > lib/radix-tree.c:#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT (CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 4 : 6) > > we should probably keep it that way. I know, I know. ;) But, a lot of these definitions were from before we had our nice, pretty Kconfig language. I don't think it's much of a crime to break tradition on these. Anyway, it's not a big deal either way. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@lists.osdl.org https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/li…
