Kay Sievers6a8d8ab2007-08-15 15:38:28 +02009 every uevent.
Kay Sievers79347792010-01-14 22:49:39 +010010 Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was
11 used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It
12 usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.
13 This should not be used today, because usual systems create
14 many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time
15 frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes
16 that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems
17 it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup.

Peter Korsgaardda5e4ef2010-03-16 21:55:21 +010032 This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup.
Kay Sievers4237e5f2010-01-14 22:47:57 +010033 In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device
34 nodes with their default names and permissions for all
35 registered devices with an assigned major/minor number.
36 Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add
37 symlinks, and apply needed permissions.
38 It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually
39 udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful
40 symlinks.
41 In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient
42 functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple
43 rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers.

330 specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for contiguous buffers. Larger
331 buffers will be aligned only to this specified order. The order is
332 expressed as a power of two multiplied by the PAGE_SIZE.
333
334 For example, if your system defaults to 4KiB pages, the order value
335 of 8 means that the buffers will be aligned up to 1MiB only.
336
337 If unsure, leave the default value "8".
