Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2017 11:04:57 -0200 Message-Id: <20171130130457.11429-4-thiago.becker@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <20171130130457.11429-1-thiago.becker@gmail.com> References: <20171130130457.11429-1-thiago.becker@gmail.com> Sender: linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: When the group_info is cached (e.g. sunrpc) there's the possibility that threads calling set_groups will attempt to do so simultaneously. Moving the responsibility of sorting to the caller of set_groups, or in the case of nfsd, to the point where it is received from rpc.mountd avoids this issue. Moving it to the caller has the added benifit of a slight improvement on the nfsd performance.
