Subject: [PATCH 0/2] limit the number of v4 clients to 4096 per 4GB of system memory

Precedence: bulk

This patch series enforces a limit on the number of v4 clients allowed
in the system. With Courteous server support there are potentially a
lots courtesy clients exist in the system that use up memory resource
preventing them to be used by other components in the system. Also
without a limit on the number of clients, the number of clients can
grow to a very large number even for system with small memory configuration
eventually render the system into an unusable state.
