Re:Important PostgreSQL 14 update to avoid silent corruption... by cperciva on Friday June 10, 2022 @02:29AM (#31690754)
There are 18609 .c files in my checked-out copy of the FreeBSD src tree. The median length is 258 lines; 90% are 1373 lines or shorter; 99% are 5241 lines or shorter.

The statistics for the 6071 .c files in the FreeBSD kernel are somewhat higher -- median is 460 lines; 90th percentile is 2070 lines; 99th percentile is 7678 lines -- but your example of a 11133 line file is definitely at the extreme high end.

I didn't run any stats when I found that file. Just clicked around in github a handful of times looking for something that seemed like it'd be complex.
