Master,
it seems to work. I had no more hangs with amd, but I could not
deterministically force a hang before, therefore "seems". But I've tried
hard (with run-parts /etc/cron.daily, this used to hang the automounter).
There is another place in rpcsock.c, where rsock->backlog is tested:
rsock->cong -= RPC_CWNDSCALE;
if (rsock->cong < rsock->cwnd && rsock->backlog)
wake_up(&rsock->backlog);
Should this be changed, too? (I'm just applying pattern matching, I don't
really understand this...)
Greetings, Swen
