We're in the middle of fine-tuning our linux-based file 
server and currently examining the NFS zero-copy 
path with 2.5.x kernel. There is a semaphore (sk_sem) 
within svc_sendto() that serializes the outgoing data. 
Could someone shed some light and give us an 
explanation why this semaphore is needed - just for 
education purpose.Great thanks...

Wendy
