Subject: [LSF/MM TOPIC] Compounding support in CIFS.KO
Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2018 06:23:03 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAN05THRVe30g9TG6UJF38q6d2s0jsiPU7MpPUy8zAgx_S3fQLA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

(Re-sending since typing the right email address is hard)


Proposal:


Compounding support for cifs.ko

In CIFS.KO we are currently adding compounding support for SMB2/3.
As SMB* is a very chatty protocol which likes to do open/query/close a LOT
compounding support to wrap all three operations inside a single round trip
can have a significant performance boost to meta data intensive workloads.

In this talk I will talk about the challenges I faced and what previous design
decisions in cifs.ko that made this very hard and how I refactored the design.

I will also talk about the current status of these patches as well as give a
live demonstration of compounding in action.

regards
Ronnie Sahlberg, RedHat
