[PATCH] Sanely size hash tables when using large base pages
At the moment the inode/dentry cache hash tables (common by way of alloc_large_system_hash()) are incorrectly sized by their respective detection logic when we attempt to use large base pages on systems with little memory. This results in odd behaviour when using a 64kB PAGE_SIZE, such as: Dentry cache hash table entries: 8192 (order: -1, 32768 bytes) Inode-cache hash table entries: 4096 (order: -2, 16384 bytes) The mount cache hash table is seemingly the only one that gets this right by directly taking PAGE_SIZE in to account. The following patch attempts to catch the bogus values and round it up to at least 0-order.
