From f515f86b34b2e7d4b24cc9b7375c9e749895088e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olga Kornievskaia Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 09:25:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix parallelism for rpc tasks Hi folks, On a multi-core machine, is it expected that we can have parallel RPCs handled by each of the per-core workqueue? In testing a read workload, observing via "top" command that a single "kworker" thread is running servicing the requests (no parallelism). It's more prominent while doing these operations over krb5p mount. What has been suggested by Bruce is to try this and in my testing I see then the read workload spread among all the kworker threads.
