From 72b44f6577f15f37fe964c8dcc42a7c5736e604c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Finn Thain Date: Tue, 16 May 2023 11:22:05 +1000 Subject: nubus: Don't list slot resources by default Some Nubus card ROMs contain many slot resources. A single Radius video card produced well over a thousand entries under /proc/bus/nubus/. Populating /proc/bus/nubus/ on a slow machine with several such cards installed takes long enough that the user may think that the system is wedged. All those procfs entries also consume significant RAM though they are not normally needed (except by developers). Omit these resources from /proc/bus/nubus/ by default and add a kernel parameter to enable them when needed. On the test machine, this saved 300 kB and 10 seconds.
