FYI - The cifs async write in 3.0 seems to exacerbate problems running out of memory (apparently) on the Windows 7 system (running as a server) after a large file copy to the server completes. I have been able to reproduce the same problem on Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (which is a good news/bad news story since my earlier testing on Windows Vista showed hangs on some requests rather than returning out of memory). Does not seem to be a problem with any of the Windows server versions just Windows 7 and Vista so far. As Pavel noted in an earlier note, increasing MaxWorkItems to 4096 in the Windows registry solves this. The cifs async write code does increase large file copy speed dramatically (more than 15% in most environments) - but we are working through how to handle the Windows7/WindowsVista problem to see if there are workarounds. -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
