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