The NFS server should ask clients to voluntarily return unused

What is this limit max_delegations?
4 delegations per megabyte of available RAM.
Where is it set,
when nfsd starts up.
and where can an
admin alter it at runtime?
There is no admin tool to change this setting. But if you want to
play with it then you can poke the memory and change its value,
The code uses max_delegations dynamically.

Are you aware that for example the msnfs41client Windows NFSv4.1
driver easily uses a few hundred delegations, as required by the
highly multithreaded nature (i.e. every Win32 syscall is async) of the
Windows kernel?
