nfsd module refcount is out of control....
Subsystems (2)
Has anybody noticed that bring up kNFSD (using a 2.6.24 kernel) causes 17 modules references on nfsd?
# lsmod | grep nfsd nfsd 201584 17 lockd 60488 2 nfsd nfs_acl 6656 1 nfsd auth_rpcgss 39360 1 nfsd exportfs 7936 1 nfsd sunrpc 157892 10 nfsd,lockd,nfs_acl,auth_rpcgss
It appears one of the culprits is svc_set_num_threads() since it does a module_get() for every thread, which seems a bit excessive imho... What happen to the idea of the first thread creating the refcount and the last thread removing the refcount?
Anyways, I don't see any routine removing all those refcounts. Should something like svc_exit_thread() be doing the module_put() since svc_set_num_threads did all those gets? If not, how are all those refcounts suppose to be removed?
Also, does anybody have clue as to why auth_rpcgss is being insmod-ed when there are no secure exports defined?
