Subject: [PATCH 1/6] NFSD: add the ability to enable use of RWF_DONTCACHE for all IO
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2025 16:57:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250610205737.63343-2-snitzer@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250610205737.63343-1-snitzer@kernel.org>
Add 'enable-dontcache' to NFSD's debugfs interface so that: Any data
read or written by NFSD will either not be cached (thanks to O_DIRECT)
or will be removed from the page cache upon completion (DONTCACHE).
enable-dontcache is 0 by default. It may be enabled with:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/nfsd/enable-dontcache
FOP_DONTCACHE must be advertised as supported by the underlying
filesystem (e.g. XFS), otherwise if/when 'enable-dontcache' is 1
all IO flagged with RWF_DONTCACHE will fail with -EOPNOTSUPP.
