    svcrpc: take advantage of tcp autotuning · 47a14ef1

    Allow the NFSv4 server to make use of TCP autotuning behaviour, which
    was previously disabled by setting the sk_userlocks variable.
    
    Set the receive buffers to be big enough to receive the whole RPC
    request, and set this for the listening socket, not the accept socket.
    
    Remove the code that readjusts the receive/send buffer sizes for the
    accepted socket. Previously this code was used to influence the TCP
    window management behaviour, which is no longer needed when autotuning
    is enabled.
    
    This can improve IO bandwidth on networks with high bandwidth-delay
    products, where a large tcp window is required.  It also simplifies
    performance tuning, since getting adequate tcp buffers previously
    required increasing the number of nfsd threads.
