Hi Bruce Thanks for pushing your latest tree out. I wouldn't normally be so impatient, but i seem to be in the mood to work on nfsd at the moment and I don't want to waste the opportunity. Following are some patches you might like to consider. They have only been lightly tested (if at all), and the "allow thread manager..." one particularly needs "is this even a good idea"-type review. First two fix clear bugs - one introduced by me, one by you :-) Then some (arguable) improvements to the cache deferral stuff (one of which is a resend). Then deprecation of the legacy syscall interface. :-) Thanks, NeilBrown --- NeilBrown (7): sunrpc: fix race in new cache_wait code. sunrpc/cache: fix recent breakage of cache_clean_deferred sunrpc/cache: change deferred-request hash table to use hlist. sunrpc/cache: centralise handling of size limit on deferred list. sunrpc/cache: allow thread manager more control of whether threads can wait for upcalls nfsd: formally deprecate legacy nfsd syscall interface nfsd: allow deprecated interface to be compiled out.
