This is v3 of mt server thread management cleanup series. changes include: - splitting out a couple of patches, and moving simple bugfix to the front. - Fixed a bug in previous series where lockd module count was being incremented when the lockd thread started, but not decremented when it exited. - minor improvement to patch descriptions. Thanks for the review and testing! NeilBrown --- NeilBrown (20): NFSD: handle errors better in write_ports_addfd() SUNRPC: change svc_get() to return the svc. SUNRPC/NFSD: clean up get/put functions. SUNRPC: stop using ->sv_nrthreads as a refcount nfsd: make nfsd_stats.th_cnt atomic_t SUNRPC: use sv_lock to protect updates to sv_nrthreads. NFSD: narrow nfsd_mutex protection in nfsd thread NFSD: Make it possible to use svc_set_num_threads_sync SUNRPC: discard svo_setup and rename svc_set_num_threads_sync() NFSD: simplify locking for network notifier. lockd: introduce nlmsvc_serv lockd: simplify management of network status notifiers lockd: move lockd_start_svc() call into lockd_create_svc() lockd: move svc_exit_thread() into the thread lockd: introduce lockd_put() lockd: rename lockd_create_svc() to lockd_get() SUNRPC: move the pool_map definitions (back) into svc.c SUNRPC: always treat sv_nrpools==1 as "not pooled" lockd: use svc_set_num_threads() for thread start and stop NFS: switch the callback service back to non-pooled. fs/lockd/svc.c | 200 +++++++++++-------------------------- fs/nfs/callback.c | 32 ++---- fs/nfsd/netns.h | 13 +-- fs/nfsd/nfsctl.c | 24 ++--- fs/nfsd/nfsd.h | 2 +- fs/nfsd/nfssvc.c | 159 +++++++++++++++-------------- fs/nfsd/stats.c | 2 +- fs/nfsd/stats.h | 4 +- include/linux/sunrpc/svc.h | 79 ++++++++------- net/sunrpc/svc.c | 175 ++++++++++++++------------------ 10 files changed, 286 insertions(+), 404 deletions(-) -- Signature
