The two async i/o improvement patches that Pavel posted a week ago: CIFS: Add asynchronous write support through kernel AIO and CIFS: Add asynchronous read support through kernel AIO at https://github.com/piastry/linux/commits/async are intriguing. The performance improvements are fantastic for SMB3 large read/write, and not just to Samba server (look great to Windows, and should also be great to Mac). Any review feedback would be appreciated because async i/o can be complex, yet the value in getting near maximal i/o performance end to end (over a network fs) is huge (even to normal users). I would like to merge these as soon as possible, but want more time for testing and review feedback - so any feedback on Pavel's patches would be appreciated. -- 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
