Subject: [PATCH RFC 4/6] sunrpc: introduce the concept of a minimum number of threads per pool
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2025 07:39:16 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251213-nfsd-dynathread-v1-4-de755e59cbc4@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251213-nfsd-dynathread-v1-0-de755e59cbc4@kernel.org>

Add a new pool->sp_nrthrmin field to track the minimum number of threads
in a pool. Add min_threads parameters to both svc_set_num_threads() and
svc_set_pool_threads(). If min_threads is non-zero, then have
svc_set_num_threads() ensure that the number of running threads is
between the min and the max.

For now, the min_threads is always 0, but a later patch will pass the
proper value through from nfsd.
