From: Roland McGrath Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 11:03:49 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Remove OPEN_MAX X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~715 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=77293034696e3e0b6c8b8fc1f96be091104b3d2b;p=pandora-kernel.git Remove OPEN_MAX The OPEN_MAX macro in limits.h should not be there. It claims to be the limit on file descriptors in a process, but its value is wrong for that. There is no constant value, but a variable resource limit (RLIMIT_NOFILE). Nothing in the kernel uses OPEN_MAX except things that are wrong to do so. I've submitted other patches to remove those uses. The proper thing to do according to POSIX is not to define OPEN_MAX at all. The sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX) implementation works by calling getrlimit. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath Cc: "David S.
