[PATCH] Lift the 256 outstanding NFS read/write request limit.
Given the previous set of patches that integrate NFS with the VM + pdflush memory control, and add mechanisms to cope with low memory conditions, the time is now ripe to rip out the 256 outstanding request limit, as well as the associated LRU list in the superblock, and the nfs_flushd daemon. The following patch offers a 30% speed increase on my test setup with 512MB of core memory (iozone using 4 threads each writing a 512MB file over 100Mbit to a Solaris server). Setting mem=64m, I still see a 2-3% speed increase.
