Hi all, Suppose there is only one nfsd and two clients are sending random read requests to this daemon. In this way, read ahead of the client should not work since the requests are random. The requests between these two clients should be async, while the requests from any one client of the two should be sync. My question is about how will the nfsd handle these requests, using sync or async mode in the kernel? Say, will nfsd never handle the next request unless the previous request has been served, without considering which clients the request belongs to? Or nfsd just dispatch async requests to the lower level as soon as it receives a request? Any answer will be appreciated!
