This patch set looks good now. I'm happy to give it a
Reviewed-by: NeilBrown <neilb@...e.de>
Two remaining issues that I would like to see address, but don't
necessarily need to be part of this set, are:
1/ When the last nfsd thread dies, lockd should drop all locks, even
if there are active nfs mounts.
One approach might be:
export nlmsvc_invalidate_all
call it from nfsd_last_thread
worry about how to change grace_period_expire.
2/ get rid of svc_wake_up and ->b_daemon
Maybe change b_daemon to b_rqstp and just call
wake_up(&block->b_rqstp->rq_wait)
Thanks,
NeilBrown
