[PATCH] knfsd: provide sunrpc pool_mode module option
Provide a module param "pool_mode" for sunrpc.ko which allows a sysadmin to choose the mode for mapping NFS thread service pools to CPUs. Values are: auto choose a mapping mode heuristically global (default, same as the pre-2.6.19 code) a single global pool percpu one pool per CPU pernode one pool per NUMA node Note that since 2.6.19 the hardcoded behaviour has been "auto", this patch makes the default "global". The pool mode can be changed after boot/modprobe using /sys, if the NFS and lockd services have been shut down. A useful side effect of this change is to fix a small memory leak when unloading the module.
