Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: report the requested maximum number of threads instead of number running
Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2026 12:23:45 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260204-minthreads-v1-1-7480176baf35@kernel.org> (raw)

The current netlink and /proc interfaces deviate from their traditional
values when dynamic threading is enabled, and there is currently no way
to know what the current setting is. This patch brings the reporting
back in line with traditional behavior.

Make these interfaces report the requested maximum number of threads
instead of the number currently running.

Fixes: d8316b837c2c ("nfsd: add controls to set the minimum number of threads per pool")
Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

I think this is less surprising than the current behavior of what's in
Chuck's tree. We could also consider adding netlink attributes to report
the number of running threads, but you can get that info from ps too.
