nixos/security: add size option to /run/wrappers
Description of changes
Add an option to configure the maximum size of /run/wrappers
tmpfs. Note I've preserved the default behavior of allocating half the available ram as the max size of the tmpfs mount.
Motivation for change: all tmpfs mounts have configurable sizes except /run/wrappers
. /run/wrappers
takes up a 500ish kb on my system. There is no need for it to have a maximum allocated size of $RAM/2
which appears to be the default.
I understand that tmpfs allocates memory lazily, and it is unlikely that something is going to blow up the size of /run/wrappers
. This option addition is mostly an attempt at consistency, since the other tmpfs mounts (like /dev/shm or /run) are max-size configurable.
Things done
I've tested this on my local NixOS install. It works for me.
