4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7d414f396c91a3382e51cf628c1cf0709ad0188b upstream.
The kernel client requests 2 credits for many operations even though
they only use 1 credit (presumably to build up a buffer of credit).
Some servers seem to give the client as much credit as is requested. In
this case, the amount of credit the client has continues increasing to
the point where (server->credits * MAX_BUFFER_SIZE) overflows in
smb2_wait_mtu_credits().
Fix this by throttling the credit requests if an set limit is reached.
For async requests where the credit charge may be > 1, request as much
credit as what is charged.
The limit is chosen somewhat arbitrarily. The Windows client
defaults to 128 credits, the Windows server allows clients up to
512 credits (or 8192 for Windows 2016), and the NetApp server
(and at least one other) does not limit clients at all.
Choose a high enough value such that the client shouldn't limit
performance.
This behavior was seen with a NetApp filer (NetApp Release 9.0RC2).
