/* The minimum number of inodes depends on a number of factors:
* - Each statically created inode (e.g., /proc/hz) needs an inode. As of
* writing, this requires about a dozen inodes.
* - Deleted inodes that are still in use by VFS must be retained. For deleted
* directories, all their containing directories up to the root must be
* retained as well (to allow the user to "cd .." out). VTreeFS already takes
* care of this. In the case of ProcFS, only PID-based directories can be
* deleted; no other directories are dynamically created. These directories
* currently do not contain subdirectories, either. Hence, for deleted open
* inodes, we need to reserve at most NR_VNODES inodes in the worst case.
* - In order for getdents to be able to return all PID-based directories,
* inodes must not be recycled while generating the list of these PID-based
* directories. In the worst case, this means (NR_TASKS + NR_PROCS) extra
* inodes.
* The sum of these is the bare minimum for correct operation in all possible
* circumstances. In practice, not all open files will be deleted files in
* ProcFS, and not all process slots will be in use either, so the average use
* will be a lot less. However, setting the value too low allows for a
* potential denial-of-service attack by a non-root user.
*
* For the moment, we simply set this value to something reasonable.
