In the end these values are needed, when testing on systems with 64KB page size:

DIR_NUM=${DIR_NUM:-"5"}
FILE_NUM=${FILE_NUM:-"20"}
THREAD_NUM=${THREAD_NUM:-"5"}

Looking at PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_256KB, CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_256KB (option
for all archs) and checking arch dependent configs I see that there can be 4KB,
8KB, 16KB, 32KB, 64KB, 256KB (each arch allows only some of them). Also
filesystems evolve, thus finding safe value for *all* filesystems on different
page sizes on different kernel versions might be a bit complicated.

Kind regards,
Petr
