Greg Banks 36bdfc8bae [PATCH] knfsd: move tempsock aging to a timer
Following are 11 patches from Greg Banks which combine to make knfsd more
Numa-aware.  They reduce hitting on 'global' data structures, and create some
data-structures that can be node-local.

knfsd threads are bound to a particular node, and the thread to handle a new
request is chosen from the threads that are attach to the node that received
the interrupt.

The distribution of threads across nodes can be controlled by a new file in
the 'nfsd' filesystem, though the default approach of an even spread is
probably fine for most sites.

Some (old) numbers that show the efficacy of these patches: N == number of
NICs == number of CPUs == nmber of clients.  Number of NUMA nodes == N/2

N	Throughput, MiB/s	CPU usage, % (max=N*100)
	Before	After		Before	After
	---	------	----		-----	-----
	4	312	435		350	228
	6	500	656		501	418
	8	562	804		690	589

This patch:

Move the aging of RPC/TCP connection sockets from the main svc_recv() loop to
a timer which uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm every 6 minutes.  This reduces
the amount of work that needs to be done in the main RPC loop and the length
of time we need to hold the (effectively global) svc_serv->sv_lock.
