Humm... The last thing I expected was no response even in the mailing list.

So I'm filing a bug on this.

What exactly is your test?

You're using a non-default timeo=60 on a TCP connection.

Why?

Sorry for the late response. I'd 200+ unread mails.

I'm writing a large file to the mounted loop device.

This's a LAN with just 2 PCs. So there're no packet drops, so there's no 
point resending requests frequently.

How large, and do you have the exact command you're using for that?

Also, what are the client and server versions?

I don't have any good idea off the top of my head.  I doubt anyone's
worked on optimizing exports of loop devices.  I guess the first step
would be to collect some statistics in the two cases (loop device and
non-loop device), compare them, and see if you can see any patterns.
/proc/self/mountstats on the client, and /proc/fs/nfsd/pool_stats, on
the server, would be starting points.  Maybe perf on the server could
also show up something.  Just running "top" on the server might be
interesting.  (E.g.  is the CPU obviously busier in the slow case?)

I'll try it out, but I've see no CPU usage problem here. This time I'll 
use dd (I did that previously also).

The default is timeo=600.

Timeo=60 is a 6 second timeout, and is not only pointless for a TCP connection, it can actually cause unnecessary disruptions when you use NFSv4 because all retransmissions are required to do a TCP disconnect+reconnect cycle.

It's clear --

On the loop device --

dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/shares/mount_point/xfs_large_files/test.zero 
bs=1M count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1788.51 s, 600 kB/s

And otherwise --

dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/shares/test.zero bs=1M count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 157.447 s, 6.8 MB/s

dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/shares/test.zero bs=1M count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 128.628 s, 8.3 MB/s

I ran out of patience to do any tests on the loop device.

This problem was reproducible from day 1, even during the 2.6 days. This 
also happen(ed/s) when I loop mount some file (on the server) in the client.

I also had an old Debian testing system which (Wheezy) which had 3.0 
kernel and shared the same problem.
