Is there any place or URL where we can get this information always updated ? It's a pretty good form of documentation I've always wanted to know.
Nope. Unfortunately, the source code is the only place for it (by inference.) The VFS sysctls also deserve some documentation.
Maybe it deserves a handbook section ?
Maybe, but it is extremely kernel version dependent, and would require some commitment to maintain. Otherwise, the info could be confusing.
I'm going to be extremely politically incorrect here:
I want this info in the kernel. At the very least, I want documentation as a part of the SYSCTL_*() macro parameters, unused but available as a (mandatory) part of the source - better would be as a part of the kernel that can be compiled away by setting a kernel option (e.g. NO_SYSCTL_DOCS).
I don't care about the amount of hardwired memory it wastes - memory is extremely cheap, people's time aren't.
