[Devel] [PATCH RH9 3/3] commit 22b5a8a84548

    ve/fs/inotify: do not impose limit on the number of instances by default

    In Vz7 we haven't switched to user ns yet. As a result, all containers
    use the same user_struct for the same user id. This leads to hitting
    fs.inotify.max_user_instances sysctl limit quickly (it equals 128 by
    default) and failing to start a container. This patch sets the default
    limit to INT_MAX. This is a temporary solution and should be reverted
    once we start using user ns.

    In PCS6 there is no such problem, because we actually create a user ns
    per container there. Although its functionality is basic in comparison
    to Vz7, it still results in creating a new user_struct for each user
    inside a container so that the inotify limit is containerized.

    TODO: we have to review all places along this path of using inotifies
    and make sure all allocations are accounted to Containers.
