max number of slabs per kernel module (kernel 2.6.17, suse)

Hi All, Is there a max number of slabs that can be used per kernel module? I'm having a tough time finding out that kind of information, but the array 'node_zonelists' (mmzone.h) has a size of 5. I just want to avoid buffer overruns and other bad stuff. Cheers, Brendan

virtio_scsi

VIRTIO_SCSI(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					    VIRTIO_SCSI(4)

NAME

     virtio_scsi -- VirtIO SCSI driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device virtio_scsi

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   virtio_scsi_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The virtio_scsi device driver provides support for VirtIO SCSI devices.

LOADER TUNABLES

     Tunables can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or stored in loader.conf(5).

     hw.vtscsi.bus_reset_disable
	     In the initial QEMU release with VirtIO SCSI support, in-flight operations were not aborted when stopping the device, rendering bus
	     reset ineffective. This tunable disables attempts to issue reset bus commands. The default value is 1.

DEBUGGING

     To enable debugging prints from the virtio_scsi driver, set the

	   hw.vtscsi.X.debug_level

     variable, where X is the adapter number, either in loader.conf(5) or via sysctl(8).  The following bits have the described effects:

	   0x01    Enable informational prints.

	   0x02    Enable prints for driver errors.

	   0x04    Enable tracing prints.

HISTORY

     The virtio_scsi driver was written by Bryan Venteicher <bryanv@FreeBSD.org>.  It first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.
