#ifndef _PROCFS_CONST_H #define _PROCFS_CONST_H /* 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. */ #define NR_INODES ((NR_TASKS + NR_PROCS) * 4) /* Various file modes. */ #define REG_ALL_MODE (S_IFREG | 0444) /* world-readable regular */ #define DIR_ALL_MODE (S_IFDIR | 0555) /* world-accessible directory */ #define LNK_ALL_MODE (S_IFLNK | 0777) /* symbolic link */ #endif /* _PROCFS_CONST_H */
