Hi PostgreSQL developers!
Jacek Drobiecki recently sent me a patch which stops postgresql to
actively violate the system limit of maximum open files
(RLIMIT_NOFILE) in src/backend/storage/file/fd.c, function
count_usable_fds().
This avoids irritating kernel logs (if system overstep violations are
enabled) and also the grsecurity alert when starting PostgreSQL.
Can you please adopt this patch?
Currently the modifications are only enabled when postgresql is
compiled with -DCHECK_RLIMIT_NOFILE. Of course you can also use it
unconditionally.
Thanks for considering and have a nice day!
Martin
