Instead of "cache=ro" I think we should look at the WRITE bit in the tree connect response access mask since this should tell us if the share is read-only server-side or not. If the share is thus read-only we should then have that reflected in the "ro" mount option. I.e. * use TreeConnect/AccessMaks/WRITE flag to enable this more aggressive caching and not a mount option. * Probably also fail the mount if the WRITE flag is clear and the user did not specify "ro" as a mount option. ronnie > > > > -- > Thanks, > > Steve

Cheers,

You also have the magic happening in: -#define CIFS_CACHE_READ(cinode) (cinode->oplock & CIFS_CACHE_READ_FLG) +#define CIFS_CACHE_READ(cinode) ((cinode->oplock & CIFS_CACHE_READ_FLG) || (CIFS_SB(cinode->vfs_inode.i_sb)->mnt_cifs_flags & CIFS_MOUNT_RO_CACHE)) which makes things work. Still I would want this to be driven by whether the server returns "this share is WRITEABLE or not" flag instead of a mount option. A mount option only invites people to "I use this because it makes thing faster" then "why do my files look corrupted sometimes" ? > > > +#define CIFS_MOUNT_RO_CACHE 0x20000000 /* assumes share will not change */ > > This flag probably needs to be added to CIFS_MOUNT_MASK: if one cifs sb > is using that flag, it should only be reused for new mounts that also > require that flag. > > Cheers, > > -- > Aurélien Aptel / SUSE Labs Samba Team > GPG: 1839 CB5F 9F5B FB9B AA97 8C99 03C8 A49B 521B D5D3 > SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, DE > GF: Felix Imendörffer, Mary Higgins, Sri Rasiah HRB 247165 (AG München)

That's true but there are situations where it would be handy. Imagine mounting //host/non_ro_share/sub/path/ro_folder i.e. mounting a folder that you know won't change within a share that can change. I guess this hints at a more granular cache mode. Cheers,
Since there isn't really a share flag which says "this share is writable" (the access mask returned in tcon is only for that user - not for any user), we could do the reverse ie forbid it if the server forbids it, but otherwise just warn on it: See e.g. SMB2_SHAREFLAG_NO_CACHING Offline caching MUST NOT occur.

From a2c56fa07718ec7de30866919c7ae442a72f8a5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com> Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 23:58:54 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] smb3: add mount option to allow forced caching of read only share If a share is immutable (at least for the period that it will be mounted) it would be helpful to not have to revalidate dentries repeatedly that we know can not be changed remotely. Add "cache=" option (cache=ro) for mounting read only shares in order to improve performance in cases in which we know that the share will not be changing while it is in use.
