If a client ever uses the highest available slot for a given session, attempt to allocate more slots so there is room for the client to use them if wanted. GFP_NOWAIT is used so if there is not plenty of free memory, failure is expected - which is what we want. It also allows the allocation while holding a spinlock. Each time we increase the number of slots by 20% (rounded up). This allows fairly quick growth while avoiding excessive over-shoot. We would expect to stablise with around 10% more slots available than the client actually uses.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
