We have never been able to track down and address the underlying
cause of the performance issues with workqueue-based service
support. svo_enqueue_xprt is called multiple times per RPC, so
it adds instruction path length, but always ends up at the same
function: svc_xprt_do_enqueue(). We do not anticipate needing
this flexibility for dynamic nfsd thread management support.
As a micro-optimization, remove .svo_enqueue_xprt because
Spectre/Meltdown makes virtual function calls more costly.
This change essentially reverts commit b9e13cdfac ("nfsd/sunrpc:
turn enqueueing a svc_xprt into a svc_serv operation").

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.
