Subject: [PATCH RFC 8/8] SUNRPC: Reduce xprtiod workqueue contention
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 14:22:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831-performance-v1-8-8d9fd9b67f96@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831-performance-v1-0-8d9fd9b67f96@kernel.org>
xprtiod handles transport-level operations: socket receive
processing, error recovery, and connection lifecycle. On systems
driving heavy NFS traffic, these operations contend on the UNBOUND
worker pool lock just as rpciod does.
Set WQ_AFFN_SMT on the xprtiod workqueue to give each SMT group its
own pool and lock.
