[OpenAFS-devel] [LKML] Re: In-kernel Authentication Tokens (PAGs)

[Neulinger, Nathan]

Garbage collection of pags/tokens for sessions that never unlog.

If you don't gc them in some way, you'll find your system periodically
hanging for a second or two for no apparent reason when it does
operations with the hash of tokens in memory.=20

If you dig through the list archive, I posted the script I use ages ago.
