I'm trying to optimize a tool that should do NFS reads as fast as possible from a server in order to stress test the server. Currently, I open the file as normal and read into a pre-allocated buffer. This causes a copy of the data to user-space. Is there any way to cause the nfs client logic to still request the file-read, but not actually copy anything to user-space? Maybe some trick with mmap would do this?
