Hi, I'd prefer to see these changes land upstream for 6.11 if possible. They are adequately Kconfig'd to certainly pose no risk if disabled. And even if localio enabled it has proven to work well with increased testing. Worked with Kent Overstreet to enable testing integration with ktest running xfstests, the dashboard is here: https://evilpiepirate.org/~testdashboard/ci?branch=snitm-nfs (it is running way more xfstests tests than is usual for nfs, would be good to reconcile that with the listing provided here: https://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Xfstests ) Changes since v8: - Fixed xfstests generic/355 (clear suid after write) as a side-effect of dropping the "nfs/localio: use dedicated workqueues for filesystem read and write" patch (XFS is looking at the security context of the task... which is really odd!) - Refactored and fixed nfs_local_vfs_getattr() to support NFS v4 as requested by Neil. - Fixed potential for localio file opens to prevent nfsd from shutting down (as caught by Jeff's helpful review) by switching to using percpu_ref_tryget_live (and renamed nfsd_serv_get to nfsd_serv_try_get). - Removed all dprintk() from fs/nfsd/localio.c - Removed one dprintk() from fs/nfs/localio.c, left others because the nfs client maintainers don't seem so against them (they do require explicit enablement after all). TODO: - Hopefully get a favorable response to this patch from XFS engineers: https://marc.info/?l=linux-xfs&m=171959152810706&w=2 (otherwise, will need to revisit using dedicated workqueue patch) All review and comments are welcome!
