I am still seeing some sort of problem on an 8 way (hyperthreaded 8
logical/4 physical) on UDP with these patches. I cannot get more than 2
NFSd threads in a run state at one time. TCP usually has 8 or more. The
test involves 40 100Mbit clients reading a 200 MB file on one server (4
acenic adapters) in cache. I am fighting some other issues at the moment
(acpi wierdness), but so far before the patches, 82 MB/sec for NFSv2,UDP and
138 MB/sec for NFSv2,TCP. With the patches, 115 MB/sec for NFSv2,UDP and
181 MB/sec for NFSv2,TCP. One CPU is maxed due to acpi int storm, so I
think the results will get better. I'm not sure what other lock or
contention point this is hitting on UDP. If there is anything I can do to
help, please let me know, thanks.
