--- Comment #50 from Tom Rushworth <tbr@acm.org> ---
(In reply to Pete French from comment #48)

Thanks for the "nice job" :).

Yes this should go upstream, it is not FreeBSD specific.  As far as I could=
 see
by grepping through the entire source tree, no platform looks at the AIO li=
mit
after obtaining it.  That's OK when the platform doesn't have a limit :).

I've never contacted the VBox folks, does someone who has contacted them wa=
nt
to volunteer to pass the information on?

I'd also like to repeat that the patch is pretty ugly, look at the number of
data structures that have to be gone through to get the AIO limit when maki=
ng
the decision to grow.  The upstream folks should have a much better way to
actually fix things, such as copying the AIO limit to the AIO manager when =
the
manager is created so it is easier to get at when the decision needs to be
made.  I just made the patch as small and localized as possible to reduce t=
he
risk of breaking things I didn't understand :).
