Allow hash tables to scale with memory but at slower pace, when
HASH_ADAPT is provided every time memory quadruples the sizes of hash
tables will only double instead of quadrupling as well. This algorithm
starts working only when memory size reaches a certain point, currently
set to 64G.
This is example of dentry hash table size, before and after four various
memory configurations:
MEMORY SCALE HASH_SIZE
old new old new
8G 13 13 8M 8M
16G 13 13 16M 16M
32G 13 13 32M 32M
64G 13 13 64M 64M
128G 13 14 128M 64M
256G 13 14 256M 128M
512G 13 15 512M 128M
1024G 13 15 1024M 256M
2048G 13 16 2048M 256M
4096G 13 16 4096M 512M
8192G 13 17 8192M 512M
16384G 13 17 16384M 1024M
32768G 13 18 32768M 1024M
65536G 13 18 65536M 2048M
The effect of this change on runtime is undetectable as filesystem
growth is not proportional to machine memory size as is currently
assumed. The change effects only large memory machine. Additional
tuning might be needed, but that can be done by the clients of the
kmem_cache_create interface, not the generic cache allocator itself.
The adaptive hashing is disabled on 32 bit systems to avoid confusion of
whether base should be different for smaller systems, and to avoid
overflows.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
