| Series | [SMB3] request more credits during session setup | expand |
In libsmb2 I am very aggressive about requesting credits during early session establish without problems
so I am confident we could even dial this up to say 1000 credits.
Though 105 might be more than sufficient.

Subject: [SMB3][PATCH] request more credits during session setup
We only request significantly more credits (during mount) on first
session setup so we typically end up with from 43-49 credits available
when mount completes - which is not enough for a large I/O to complete
(if started soon after mount). We need > 64 credits. Solve this by
requesting more than 2 credits on tree connect.
After mount (before this patch):
43 credits (not enough for a 4MB I/O)
After mount (with this patch)
105 credits (which is good, enough for two large I/Os to be issued
immediately after mount)
smbclient requests even more for every request - although server will give out a much, much smaller number in reponse. If there were another safe request to add more to (perhaps validate negotiate) we should be up to a reasonable number of credits even for parallel i/o right after mount - in any case it will increase over time (the number of credits) but perhaps we should more aggressively ask for credits on each request and go from asking for 2 for all non read/write requests to asking for 64 or 128 On Thu, Feb 14, 2019 at 2:05 AM Ronnie Sahlberg <lsahlber@redhat.com> wrote: > > In libsmb2 I am very aggressive about requesting credits during early session establish without problems > so I am confident we could even dial this up to say 1000 credits. > > Though 105 might be more than sufficient. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Steve French" <smfrench@gmail.com> > To: "CIFS" <linux-cifs@vger.kernel.org> > Sent: Thursday, 14 February, 2019 5:27:41 PM > Subject: [SMB3][PATCH] request more credits during session setup > > We only request significantly more credits (during mount) on first > session setup so we typically end up with from 43-49 credits available > when mount completes - which is not enough for a large I/O to complete > (if started soon after mount).

From 375808983c63e25f8e0d05effab86b0f36a024b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com> Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2019 01:19:02 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] smb3: request more credits on tree connect If we try large I/O (read or write) immediately after mount we won't typically have enough credits because we only request large amounts of credits on the first session setup. So if large I/O is attempted soon after mount we will typically only have about 43 credits rather than 105 credits (with this patch) available for the large i/o (which needs 64 credits minimum). This patch requests more credits during tree connect, which helps ensure that we have enough credits when mount completes (between these requests and the first session setup) in order to start large I/O immediately after mount if needed. --- fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c b/fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c index e3f0775f9765..49c2843b1bcf 100644 --- a/fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c +++ b/fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c @@ -1620,6 +1620,9 @@ SMB2_tcon(const unsigned int xid, struct cifs_ses *ses, const char *tree, rqst.rq_iov = iov; rqst.rq_nvec = 2; + /* Need 64 for max size write so ask for more in case not there yet */ + req->sync_hdr.CreditRequest = cpu_to_le16(64); + rc = cifs_send_recv(xid, ses, &rqst, &resp_buftype, flags, &rsp_iov); cifs_small_buf_release(req); rsp = (struct smb2_tree_connect_rsp *)rsp_iov.iov_base; -- 2.17.1
