Hi all.
Currently if you shutdown nfsd while portmap is dead, it takes about
3.5 minutes. This isn't ideal.
The following patch series address some issues surrounding that.
The first two a minor fixes to nfsd which get it behave a little bit
more consistently. They don't directly affect the issue.
The third changes the timeouts used when rpcb_client talks to
portmap or rpcbind to unregister a service. It simply reduces the
timeout to 0.5 seconds with no retries.
As there should be no packet loss, this should only fail if
portmap/rpcbind isn't working. And in that case unregistering
wont serve any purpose anyway.
And as unregistering is merely for cleanliness, not for correctness,
there wouldn't be a problem even if something did go wrong.
With this patch, the 3.5 minutes drops to 3 seconds.
Comments welcome.
Thanks,
NeilBrown

sunrpc: reduce timeout when unregistering rpcbind registrations.
nfsd: optimise the starting of zero threads when none are running.
nfsd: don't take nfsd_mutex twice when setting number of threads.
