nfs: Introduce tunable for memory consumption
NFS has used a common define called the mem-factor to determine how much memory is allocated for the following items: o inode table o local structures used by nfs for storing fop state o local structures used by nfs3 for storing nfs op state These are all allocated through the mem-pool. The factor is multiplied by a multiple that is specific to each data structure. For eg. define GF_NFS_CONCURRENT_OPS_MULT 15 define GF_NFS_INODE_LRU_MULT 6000 The first value is used for allocating a mem-pool for storing state for each fop or nfs op that is currently being handled. Knowing that linux allows at most 128 in-flight requests, this multiple combined with the default mem-factor of 15 gives us 225 slots in the mem-pool for the local structures. Similarly, 6000*15 gives us a space of 90k inodes in the lru. That means, increasing the common mem-factor will allow increasing the perf under some conditions. This patch introduces the mem-factor as a configurable option. Signed-off-by: Shehjar Tikoo <shehjart@gluster.com> Signed-off-by: Anand V.
