5  * The minimum number of inodes depends on a number of factors:
6  * - Each statically created inode (e.g., /proc/hz) needs an inode.  As of
7  *   writing, this requires about a dozen inodes.
8  * - Deleted inodes that are still in use by VFS must be retained.  For deleted
9  *   directories, all their containing directories up to the root must be
10  *   retained as well (to allow the user to "cd .." out).  VTreeFS already
11  *   takes care of this.  In the case of ProcFS, only PID-based directories can
12  *   be deleted; no other directories are dynamically created.  These
13  *   directories currently do not contain subdirectories, either.  Hence, for
14  *   deleted open inodes, we need to reserve at most NR_VNODES inodes in the
15  *   worst case.
16  * - In order for getdents to be able to return all PID-based directories,
17  *   inodes must not be recycled while generating the list of these PID-based
18  *   directories.  In the worst case, this means (NR_TASKS + NR_PROCS) extra
19  *   inodes.
20  * The sum of these is the bare minimum for correct operation in all possible
21  * circumstances.  In practice, not all open files will be deleted files in
22  * ProcFS, and not all process slots will be in use either, so the average use
23  * will be a lot less.  However, setting the value too low allows for a
24  * potential denial-of-service attack by a non-root user.
25  *
26  * For the moment, we simply set this value to something reasonable.
