[11/12] SUNRPC: add list of idle threads

Commit Message

NeilBrown July 31, 2023, 6:48 a.m. UTC

Rather than searching a list of threads to find an idle one, having a
list of idle threads allows an idle thread to be found immediately.

This adds some spin_lock calls which is not ideal, but as the hold-time
is tiny it is still faster than searching a list.  A future patch will
remove them using llist.h.  This involves some subtlety and so is left
to a separate patch.

This removes the need for the RQ_BUSY flag.  The rqst is "busy"
precisely when it is not on the "idle" list.
