From 127b21b89f9d8ba0dc23e47b8c35d8a0bac9d6fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 13:19:17 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] SUNRPC: Adjust rpciod workqueue parameters Increase the concurrency level for rpciod threads to allow for allocations etc that happen in the RPCSEC_GSS layer. Also note that the NFSv4 byte range locks may now need to allocate memory from inside rpciod. Add the WQ_HIGHPRI flag to improve latency guarantees while we're at it.
