hi Linus-
please apply this patch to 2.5.40. it disables Nagle's algorithm for TCP
sockets used by the RPC client. other RPC implementations on TCP also
disable Nagle. this reduces average RPC request latency on TCP, and makes
network trace tools work a little nicer.
trond, alexey, and davem are all OK with this patch.
