2492
2493This directory contains configuration options for the epoll(7) interface.
2494
2495max_user_instances
2496------------------
2497
2498This is the maximum number of epoll file descriptors that a single user can
2499have open at a given time. The default value is 128, and should be enough
2500for normal users.
2501
2502max_user_watches
2503----------------
2504
2505Every epoll file descriptor can store a number of files to be monitored
2506for event readiness. Each one of these monitored files constitutes a "watch".
2507This configuration option sets the maximum number of "watches" that are
2508allowed for each user.
2509Each "watch" costs roughly 90 bytes on a 32bit kernel, and roughly 160 bytes
2510on a 64bit one.
2511The current default value for max_user_watches is the 1/32 of the available
2512low memory, divided for the "watch" cost in bytes.

83Advanced APIs for drivers
84-------------------------
85A. Exporting pages to users with remap_pfn_range, io_remap_pfn_range,
86vm_insert_pfn
87
88Drivers wanting to export some pages to userspace do it by using mmap
89interface and a combination of
901) pgprot_noncached()
912) io_remap_pfn_range() or remap_pfn_range() or vm_insert_pfn()
92
93With PAT support, a new API pgprot_writecombine is being added. So, drivers can
94continue to use the above sequence, with either pgprot_noncached() or
95pgprot_writecombine() in step 1, followed by step 2.
96
97In addition, step 2 internally tracks the region as UC or WC in memtype
98list in order to ensure no conflicting mapping.
99
100Note that this set of APIs only works with IO (non RAM) regions. If driver
101wants to export a RAM region, it has to do set_memory_uc() or set_memory_wc()
102as step 0 above and also track the usage of those pages and use set_memory_wb()
103before the page is freed to free pool.
