It's not obvious, but I believe this is true now.
Basically in lustre/ptlrpc/service.c we use service->srv_cptable
and that comes from ptlrpc_register_service:
cptable = cconf->cc_cptable;
if (cptable == NULL)
cptable = cfs_cpt_table;
….
service->srv_cptable = cptable;
service->srv_cpts = cpts;
service->srv_ncpts = ncpts;
that on the client it's only called from:
lustre/ldlm/ldlm_lockd.c::ldlm_setup() where we unconditionally assign
.psc_cpt = {
.cc_pattern = ldlm_cpts,
},
But even if there was a different caller, we always use cfs_cpt_table as fallback.
It's also directly used in ptlrpc_hr_init():
ptlrpc_hr.hr_cpt_table = cfs_cpt_table;
Two callers in lustre/ptlrpc/nrs.c use the same stuff as above.
One caller in lustre/ptlrpc/nrs_fifo.c uses nrs_pol2cptab which is defined as
nrs_pol2svc(policy)->srv_cptable which is again same as above.
There are no other callers.
