Hi, I have created PR#237860 to keep track of a patch I have to try and improve the performance of mountd when reloading exports for an NFS server with a lot of file systems. Peter reported that the nfsd threads would be stalled = for 16sec when exports were reloaded (via SIGHUP) for his file server with 7200= 0+ file systems on it. Peter will be testing this patch, but I would appreciate it if anyone else = can test it as well. It doesn't matter if your NFS file server only exports a few fi= le systems, because I would like to find out if the patch results in any regressions. (The new capability of incrementally updating the exports in the kernel upo= n a reload is only enabled if mountd is started with the new "-I" option the = patch adds.) If anyone can test the patch (it is the attachment in the PR), please let m= e know how it goes. Thanks, rick
