Performance tests with large number of threads noted that the change of the default closetimeo (deferred close timeout between when close is done by application and when client has to send the close to the server), to 5 seconds from 1 second, significantly degraded perf in some cases like this (in the filebench example reported, the stats show close requests on the wire taking twice as long, and 50% regression in filebench perf). This is stil configurable via mount parm closetimeo, but to be safe, decrease default back to its previous value of 1 second.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
