The other option would be to simply overallocate in the transport layer, as that is the layer which causes the problem to start with.

I'm fine with doing fully dynamic allocation if that works out fine, but a mixed static / dynamic allocation sounds like a nightmare. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
