I doubt it's good idea. Just leave it as you want although it makes
performance hurt because user want to get more free memory and it
doesn't make any regression for single stream side.

Additionally, if we enhance it with adaptive lock scheme,
performance problem would be gone. :)

But if you want to limit it really, at least, need to notice to
user. Maybe pr_info?

I hope we should notice to user.
Maybe this function returns true or false and caller should emit some message
with pr_info?
