Subject: [PATCH 0/2] tweak knfsd session slot table sizing
Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 09:21:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1506345704-9486-1-git-send-email-bfields@redhat.com> (raw)

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

Current client and server defaults can limit NFSv4.1+ mounts to as few
as 4 per gigabytes of server RAM, and people have been running into the
limit on upgrading the protocol version from 4.0 to 4.1.

Bump the limit.  Also return smaller ca_maxrequests as the limit
approaches instead of waiting till we have to fail CREATE_SESSION
completely.

A few years ago Trond also posted some patches to dynamically resize
existing sessions as limits approach--I'll revisit those at some point
too.

The numbers chosen here are honestly still a little arbitrary, and we
may tweak them again if we see more problems.

--b.

  nfsd: increase DRC cache limit
  nfsd: give out fewer session slots as limit approaches
