+Subject: [PATCH] perf jevents: fix getting maximum number of fds
+
+On some hosts, rlim.rlim_max can be returned as RLIM_INFINITY.
+By casting it to int, it is interpreted as -1, which will cause get_maxfds
+to return 0, causing "Invalid argument" errors in nftw() calls.
+Fix this by casting the second argument of min() to rlim_t instead.
+
