      smb3: remove overly noisy debug line in signing errors · 9692ea9d
      Steve French authored
      A dump_stack call for signature related errors can be too noisy
      and not of much value in debugging such problems.

      cifs: improve read performance for page size 64KB & cache=strict & vers=2.1+ · 1f641d94
      Jones Syue authored
      Found a read performance issue when linux kernel page size is 64KB.
      If linux kernel page size is 64KB and mount options cache=strict &
      vers=2.1+, it does not support cifs_readpages(). Instead, it is using
      cifs_readpage() and cifs_read() with maximum read IO size 16KB, which is
      much slower than read IO size 1MB when negotiated SMB 2.1+. Since modern
      SMB server supported SMB 2.1+ and Max Read Size can reach more than 64KB
      (for example 1MB ~ 8MB), this patch check max_read instead of maxBuf to
      determine whether server support readpages() and improve read performance
      for page size 64KB & cache=strict & vers=2.1+, and for SMB1 it is more
      cleaner to initialize server->max_read to server->maxBuf.
      
      The client is a linux box with linux kernel 4.2.8,
      page size 64KB (CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES=y),
      cpu arm 1.7GHz, and use mount.cifs as smb client.
      The server is another linux box with linux kernel 4.2.8,
      share a file '10G.img' with size 10GB,
      and use samba-4.7.12 as smb server.
      
      The client mount a share from the server with different
      cache options: cache=strict and cache=none,
      mount -tcifs //<server_ip>/Public /cache_strict -overs=3.0,cache=strict,username=<xxx>,password=<yyy>
      mount -tcifs //<server_ip>/Public /cache_none -overs=3.0,cache=none,username=<xxx>,password=<yyy>
      
      The client download a 10GbE file from the server across 1GbE network,
      dd if=/cache_strict/10G.img of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10240
      dd if=/cache_none/10G.img of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10240
      
      Found that cache=strict (without patch) is slower read throughput and
      smaller read IO size than cache=none.
      cache=strict (without patch): read throughput 40MB/s, read IO size is 16KB
      cache=strict (with patch): read throughput 113MB/s, read IO size is 1MB
      cache=none: read throughput 109MB/s, read IO size is 1MB
      
      Looks like if page size is 64KB,
      cifs_set_ops() would use cifs_addr_ops_smallbuf instead of cifs_addr_ops,
      
      	/* check if server can support readpages */
      	if (cifs_sb_master_tcon(cifs_sb)->ses->server->maxBuf <
      			PAGE_SIZE + MAX_CIFS_HDR_SIZE)
      		inode->i_data.a_ops = &cifs_addr_ops_smallbuf;
      	else
      		inode->i_data.a_ops = &cifs_addr_ops;
      
      maxBuf is came from 2 places, SMB2_negotiate() and CIFSSMBNegotiate(),
      (SMB2_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE is 64KB)
      SMB2_negotiate():
      	/* set it to the maximum buffer size value we can send with 1 credit */
      	server->maxBuf = min_t(unsigned int, le32_to_cpu(rsp->MaxTransactSize),
      			       SMB2_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE);
      CIFSSMBNegotiate():
      	server->maxBuf = le32_to_cpu(pSMBr->MaxBufferSize);
      
      Page size 64KB and cache=strict lead to read_pages() use cifs_readpage()
      instead of cifs_readpages(), and then cifs_read() using maximum read IO
      size 16KB, which is much slower than maximum read IO size 1MB.
      (CIFSMaxBufSize is 16KB by default)
      
      	/* FIXME: set up handlers for larger reads and/or convert to async */
      	rsize = min_t(unsigned int, cifs_sb->rsize, CIFSMaxBufSize);

      MAINTAINERS: sort field names for all entries · 3b50142d
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This sorts the actual field names too, potentially causing even more
      chaos and confusion at merge time if you have edited the MAINTAINERS
      file.  But the end result is a more consistent layout, and hopefully
      it's a one-time pain minimized by doing this just before the -rc1
      release.
      
      This was entirely scripted:
      
        ./scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS --order

      MAINTAINERS: sort entries by entry name · 4400b7d6
      Linus Torvalds authored
      They are all supposed to be sorted, but people who add new entries don't
      always know the alphabet.  Plus sometimes the entry names get edited,
      and people don't then re-order the entry.
      
      Let's see how painful this will be for merging purposes (the MAINTAINERS
      file is often edited in various different trees), but Joe claims there's
      relatively few patches in -next that touch this, and doing it just
      before -rc1 is likely the best time.  Fingers crossed.
      
      This was scripted with
      
        /scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS
      
      but then I also ended up manually upper-casing a few entry names that
      stood out when looking at the end result.

        It addressed the case where a KVM guest triggers a split lock #AC and
        KVM reinjects it into the guest which is not prepared to handle it.
      
        Add proper sanity checks which prevent the unconditional injection
        into the guest and handles the #AC on the host side in the same way as
        user space detections are handled. Depending on the detection mode it
        either warns and disables detection for the task or kills the task if
        the mode is set to fatal"

         namespaces, which was half defined but the actual array member was
         not added. This went unnoticed as the array has an exessive empty
         member at the end but introduced a user visible regression as the
         output was corrupted.
