Bruce Fields" Cc: Linux NFS ML Subject: [patch 00/14] sunrpc: Sunrpc cache cleanups and upcall rework Sender: linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Content-Type: text/plain MIME-Version: 1.0 G'day, These patches are a snapshot of in-progress work to fix problems with the sunrpc upcall mechanism which are triggered under load when using multi-threaded rpc.mountd. These are currently a hot issue with one of SGI's customers (SGI PV988959). The early patches in the series are cleanups with zero logic changes. The patches have been lightly tested, by mounting and running the cthon04 tests. They have not been shipped or used in the field. -- Greg Banks, P.Engineer, SGI Australian Software Group. the brightly coloured sporks of revolution. I don't speak for SGI.
