Subject: [PATCH v2] NFSD: Add io_cache_{read,write} controls to debugfs
Date: Sat,  6 Sep 2025 17:25:11 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250906212511.9139-1-cel@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org>

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.

Currently only xfs and ext4 implement RWF_DONTCACHE. For file
systems that do not implement RWF_DONTCACHE, NFSD use only buffered
I/O when the io_cache setting is NFSD_IO_DONTCACHE.

Changes since v1:
- Corrected patch author
- Break back to NFSD_IO_BUFFERED when exported file system does not
  support RWF_DONTCACHE
- Smoke tested NFSD_IO_DONTCACHE with NFSv3,v4.0,v4.1 on xfs and
  tmpfs
