I'm looking at maybe making some performance enhancements to the Linux
NFS client.
Who else is working on the NFS client right now? What would be a good
list on which to discuss NFS under linux?
One of the things I might do (to decrease latency and possibly to do
read ahead) is demultiplex incoming replies and send out
(re)transmissions in the NET or TIMER bottom half interrupts (by
overriding the NFS socket's sk->data_ready and by adding a timer).
Can this be done? In particular, is there any reason why udp_sendmsg
cannot be called during a bottom half interrupt?
