Subject: [PATCH] NFSD: Add io_cache_{read,write} controls to debugfs
Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2025 10:55:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250905145509.8678-1-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Add 'io_cache_read' to NFSD's debugfs interface so that any data
read by NFSD will either be:
- cached using page cache (NFSD_IO_BUFFERED=0)
- cached but removed from the page cache upon completion
(NFSD_IO_DONTCACHE=1).
io_cache_read may be set by writing to:
/sys/kernel/debug/nfsd/io_cache_read
Add 'io_cache_write' to NFSD's debugfs interface so that any data
written by NFSD will either be:
- cached using page cache (NFSD_IO_BUFFERED=0)
- cached but removed from the page cache upon completion
(NFSD_IO_DONTCACHE=1).
io_cache_write may be set by writing to:
/sys/kernel/debug/nfsd/io_cache_write
The default value for both settings is NFSD_IO_BUFFERED, which is
NFSD's existing behavior for both read and write. Changes to these
settings take immediate effect for all exports and NFS versions.
If NFSD_IO_DONTCACHE is specified, all exported filesystems must
implement FOP_DONTCACHE, otherwise IO flagged with RWF_DONTCACHE
will fail with -EOPNOTSUPP.

Changes from Mike's v9:
- Squashed the "io controls" patches together
- Removed NFSD_IO_DIRECT for the moment
- Addressed a few more checkpatch.pl nits
This gives a cleaner platform on which to build the direct I/O code
paths, and does not expose partially implemented I/O modes to users.
