Subject: [PATCH v5 5/5] sunrpc: derive the pool count instead of caching it in sv_nrpools
Date: Mon, 06 Jul 2026 09:29:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706-sunrpc-pool-mode-v5-5-6c4ee7cd89aa@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706-sunrpc-pool-mode-v5-0-6c4ee7cd89aa@kernel.org>

Now that the pool mode is always pernode, svc_serv.sv_nrpools is
redundant with sv_is_pooled: an unpooled service always has a single
pool, and a pooled service has svc_pool_map.npools pools (which is one on
a single-node host). sv_nrpools cannot distinguish an unpooled service
from a pooled service that happens to have one pool, so it is sv_nrpools,
not sv_is_pooled, that carries no unique information.

Replace the cached field with a svc_serv_nrpools() helper that derives
the count from sv_is_pooled and the pool map, and convert all readers to
it. svc_pool_map is file-local to svc.c, so export the helper for the
svc_xprt.c and nfsd callers.

Reading svc_pool_map.npools without svc_pool_map_mutex is safe: the
mutex protects only svc_pool_map.count, and npools is already read
locklessly in svc_pool_for_cpu().

A pooled service holds a map reference for its whole lifetime, so npools
is stable while any reader could observe it.  The hot path
(svc_pool_for_cpu()) already dereferences svc_pool_map for to_pool, and
npools shares that cacheline, so there is no new locking or coherence
cost.

__svc_create() keeps using its local npools argument for the sv_pools[]
allocation, since sv_is_pooled is not set until svc_create_pooled() has
returned from it.

Doing this also removes a modulus operation from svc_pool_for_cpu(),
which should make for more efficient RPC queueing.
