Referring to the following:

If you have 10 sockets with 1024 KB each, they do not block at all, using >full 1024 KB. If you have 4000 sockets, they only use 200 KB. So it seems its blocking at 800 MB. >This is good, if you have a 1/3 system, because else the kernel would run out of low mem. But I >have a 2/2 system and I need them for buffers. So what can I do? Where can I adjust the "pool"?

How can I disable this? I have been searching the code but I can't find it. Or can I at least adjust it somehow? Thank you in advance.
