Subject:   Patch to improve mountd performance for reload of exports
Message-ID:  <YQBPR0101MB22600BD34C94AB09D3D24946DD0F0@YQBPR0101MB2260.CANPRD01.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>

Hi,

I have created PR#237860 to keep track of a patch I have to try and improve
the performance of mountd when reloading exports for an NFS server with a
lot of file systems. Peter reported that the nfsd threads would be stalled =
for
16sec when exports were reloaded (via SIGHUP) for his file server with 7200=
0+
file systems on it.

Peter will be testing this patch, but I would appreciate it if anyone else =
can test
it as well. It doesn't matter if your NFS file server only exports a few fi=
le systems,
because I would like to find out if the patch results in any regressions.
(The new capability of incrementally updating the exports in the kernel upo=
n a
  reload is only enabled if mountd is started with the new "-I" option the =
patch adds.)

If anyone can test the patch (it is the attachment in the PR), please let m=
e know how
it goes.

Thanks, rick
