This I can rule out; there is no visible correlation between "Opens"
and the number of files open on the system.
Just finishing a test right now, and:
$ sudo nfsstat -E -c | fgrep -A1 OpenOwner
OpenOwner Opens LockOwner Locks Delegs LocalOwn
4678 36245 15 6 0 0
$ sudo fstat | wc -l
2698
$ ps Haxlww | wc -l
1012
The value of Opens increases consistently over time.
Killing the processes causing this behavior *did not* reduce the
number of OpenOwner or Opens.
Unmounting the nullfs mounts (after the processes were gone) *did*:
$ sudo nfsstat -E -c | fgrep -A1 OpenOwner
OpenOwner Opens LockOwner Locks Delegs LocalOwn
130 41 0 0 0 0
Mutex contention was observed this time, but once it was apparent that
"Opens" was increasing over time, I didn't let the test get to the
point of disrupting activities. This test ended at Opens = 36589,
which is well short of the previous 130,000+. It is possible that
mutex contention becomes an issue once system CPU resources are
exhausted.
More about the results of the latest test after the data is analyzed.
After that's done, I'll attempt Rick's patch. In the long run, we
would definitely like to get delegation to work. Baby steps!
Thanks!
