[Lustre-discuss] ptlrpcd

[Paul Nowoczynski]

Thomas,
To my knowledge, 'ptlrpcd' is a thread that's responsible for pushing 
asynchronous rpc requests to various places.  It is also tasked with 
receiving the replies to those requests. 
I imagine the OSS has a lot of outstanding async rpc's which need to be 
continually processed.  It's just a hunch.. I haven't dug around in the 
OSS enough to know exactly what's going on.
