When running large numbers of pppoe connections, a bucket size of 16 may be too small and 256 may be more appropriate. This sacrifices some RAM but should result in faster processing of incoming PPPoE frames. On our systems we run upwards of 150 PPPoE connections at any point in time, and we suspect we're starting to see the effects of this small number of buckets. The legal values according to pppoe.c is anything that when 8 is divided by that results in a modulo of 0, ie, 1, 2, 4 and 8. The size of the per-underlying-interface structure is: sizeof(rwlock_t) + sizeof(pppox_sock*) * PPPOE_HASH_SIZE. Assuming a 64-bit pointer this will result in just over a 2KiB structure for PPPOE_HASH_BITS=8, which will likely result in a 4KiB allocation, which for us at least is acceptable. Not sure what the minimum allocation size is, and thus if values of 1 and 2 truly make sense. Default results in historic sizing and behaviour.

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 Restructured Text 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.
