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.
