SubjectRevamped NFS async IO code
DateFri, 03 May 1996 21:49:54 +0200
FromOlaf Kirch <>
Hi,

I've just uploaded a modified version of the NFS client code to
ftp://ftp.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/okir/dontuse .
It features the following enhancements over the current version:

 *	A single rpciod handles all async calls instead of a fixed
	number of biods. This allows better scaling of the number of
	outstanding readaheads, and avoids some unnecessary context
	switches.

 *	When compiled as a module, rpciod doesn't start up until an
	NFS volume is mounted; when the last volume is unmounted, rpciod
	is terminated gracefully.

Please check it out and pound on it. I want to make sure it works properly
before submitting the patch to Linus.

Cheers
Olaf
