System administrators can use the locked memory ulimit setting to set the maximum amount of memory a user can lock/pin. However, this setting alone is not enough to guarantee good operation of the hfi1 driver due to the fact that the setting does not have fine enough granularity to account for the limit being used by multiple user processes and caches. Therefore, a better limiting algorithm is needed. This is where the new hfi1_can_pin_pages() function and the cache_size module parameter come in. The function works by looking at the ulimit and cache_size value to compute a cache size. The algorithm examines the ulimit value and, if it is not "unlimited", computes a per-cache limit based on the number of configured user contexts. After that, the lower of the two - cache_size and computed per-cache limit - is used.
