The default setting requires the thread to sleep for a full two minutes
before exiting.  It would be easy to generate a real workload light enough
to be below process time accounting precision (which is really low even on
modest hardware), yet still give the kthread something to do every t <
iodmaxidle seconds.

If you make iodmaxidle very short, say 5, do you see nfsiod threads
recycling?
