    init: raise default system aio limits · 5298551e

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740899 documents that
    if qemu uses aio=native for its disks, then it consumes 128 aio
    requests per disk.  On a host with multiple guests, this can quickly
    run out of kernel aio requests with the default aio-max-nr of
    65536.  Kernel developers have confirmed that there is no up-front
    cost to raising this limit (a larger limit merely implies that more
    aio requests can be issued in parallel, which in turn will result
    in more kernel memory allocation, only if the system really does use
    that many requests).  Since the system default limit prevents 256
    disks, which is well within libvirt's current scalability, this
    patch installs a file to raise the limit and document it in case a
    system administrator has further cause to tune the limit.  The
    install only works on platforms new enough to source /etc/sysctl.d/*
    alongside /etc/sysctl.conf (F14 and RHEL 6).
    
    * daemon/libvirtd.sysctl: New file.
    * daemon/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Ship it.
    (install-init, uninstall-init): Install it.
    * libvirt.spec.in (%files): Include it in rpm.
