mm: adaptive hash table scaling
Allow hash tables to scale with memory but at slower pace, when HASH_ADAPT
is provided every time memory quadruples the sizes of hash tables will
only double instead of quadrupling as well. This algorithm starts working
only when memory size reaches a certain point, currently set to 64G.
This is example of dentry hash table size, before and after four various
memory configurations:
MEMORY SCALE HASH_SIZE
old new old new
8G 13 13 8M 8M
16G 13 13 16M 16M
32G 13 13 32M 32M
64G 13 13 64M 64M
128G 13 14 128M 64M
256G 13 14 256M 128M
512G 13 15 512M 128M
1024G 13 15 1024M 256M
2048G 13 16 2048M 256M
4096G 13 16 4096M 512M
8192G 13 17 8192M 512M
16384G 13 17 16384M 1024M
32768G 13 18 32768M 1024M
65536G 13 18 65536M 2048M
