Subject: [RFC] Xend configuration option for console memory limit
Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 12:15:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ek6rj25k.fsf@us.ibm.com> (raw)
Bug #296 describes the possible Out-Of-Memory outcome of a console
flood. Currently, xenconsoled has the ability to obey a limit, but
Xend does not set it, to prevent console message loss.
I propose that a configuration option be added to xend-config.sxp that
sets the limit. That way, a user with a large console buffer
requirement can easily set it, and OOM situations can be avoided.
I'll be happy to knock up a patch if this sounds reasonable.
Thoughts?
