Great. Thanks for the notes.
I caught the nfs one just a few minutes ago, I'll get the kfree_s one
sorted out ASAP.
I'm currently implementing scalable per-task file-descriptors, so that
they are allocated in small blocks (rather than the full 1024 in
one-shot). This should help memory usage/performance.
I'll (hopefully) put out a new patch at the weekend.
Thanks,
