Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] sunrpc: track the max number of requested threads in a pool
Date: Tue, 06 Jan 2026 13:59:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106-nfsd-dynathread-v2-3-416e5f27b2b6@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106-nfsd-dynathread-v2-0-416e5f27b2b6@kernel.org>
The kernel currently tracks the number of threads running in a pool in
the "sp_nrthreads" field. In the future, where threads are dynamically
spun up and down, it'll be necessary to keep track of the maximum number
of requested threads separately from the actual number running.
Add a pool->sp_nrthrmax parameter to track this. When userland changes
the number of threads in a pool, update that value accordingly.
