This patchset implements direct user I/O through RDMA.
In normal code path (even with cache=none), CIFS copies I/O data from
user-space to kernel-space for security reasons.
With this patchset, a new mounting option is introduced to have CIFS pin the
user-space buffer into memory and performs I/O through RDMA. This avoids memory
copy, at the cost of added security risk.
What's the security risk? This type of direct i/o behavior is not
uncommon, and can certainly be made safe, using the appropriate
memory registration and protection domains. Any risk needs to be
stated explicitly, and mitigation provided, or at least described.
Tom.
This patchset is RFC. The work is in progress, do not merge.
