This original code in nfsd4_get_drc_mem() would hand out 30 slots (approximately NFSD_MAX_MEM_PER_SESSION bytes at slightly over 2K per slot) to each requesting client until it ran out of space, then it would possibly give one last client a reduced allocation, then fail the allocation. Since commit de766e57 ("nfsd: give out fewer session slots as limit approaches") the last 90 slots to be given to about 12 clients with quickly reducing slot counts (better than just 3 clients). This still seems unnecessarily hasty. A subsequent patch allows over-allocation so every client gets at least one slot, but that might be a bit restrictive. The requested number of nfsd threads is the best guide we have to the expected number of clients, so use that - if it is at least 8. 256 threads on a 256Meg machine - which is a lot for a tiny machine - would result in nfsd_drc_max_mem being 2Meg, so 8K (3 slots) would be available for the first client, and over 200 clients would get more than 1 slot. So I don't think this change will be too debilitating on poorly configured machines, though it does mean that a sensible configuration is a little more important.
