63423b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez
63523b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
63623b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
63723b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of

21743d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	help
21753d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
21763d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
21773d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
21783d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
21793d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
21803d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this
21813d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module.

2195efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the

2198efd9763dSMasahiro Yamada	  you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
