It has been in use in a similar form (but with a sysctl-set limit) on our systems for some time. I have a separate patch to convert XFS to the generic qsort(), which I will bounce to SGI if/when this gets pulled. There is a small change needed for glibc, and I will send that patch to the glibc people if/when this gets pulled. Lastly, this does not fixup all the architectures. I have other patchsets for that, which need to be reviewed by arch maintainers.

(02/10/21 1.811) fix usage of NGROUPS in nfsd and svcauth (02/10/21 1.810) Remove the limit of 32 groups. We now have a per-task, dynamic array of groups, which is kept sorted and refcounted. This ChangeSet incorporates all the core functionality. but does not fixup all the incorrect usages of groups. That is in a seperate ChangeSet. (02/10/21 1.809) Add generic qsort() and bsearch(): qsort() from BSD, bsearch() from glibc - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
