From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> When creating a listener socket to be handed to /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist, we currently limit the number of backlogged connections to 64. Since that value was chosen in 2006, the scale at which data centres operate has changed significantly. Given a modern server with many thousands of clients, a limit of 64 connections can create bottlenecks, particularly at at boot time. Let's use the POSIX-sanctioned maximum value of SOMAXCONN.
