Leif Hedstrom commented on TS-1822:
-----------------------------------

Right, it should call it with M_MMAP_MAX, increasing it from the default 64k to 
whatever the setting is in records.config.

I'm positive that this feature was added to solve a problem where it looked 
like ATS ran out of memory; When allocating RAM for the cache, it used to 
allocate tiny mmap areas. But as far as i can tell, this doesn't happen any 
more. However, it sounds like the reclaimable freelist thingie needs a lot of 
mmap areas?

> Do we still need proxy.config.system.mmap_max ?

> A long time ago, we added proxy.config.system.mmap_max to let the 
> traffic_server increase the max number of mmap segments that we want to use. 
> We currently set this to 2MM.
> I'm wondering, do we really need this still ?
