When cache=rdma is enabled on mount options, CIFS do not allocate internal data
buffer pages for I/O, data is read/writen directly to user memory via RDMA.

I don't think this should be an option.  For direct I/O without signing
or encryption CIFS should always use get_user_pages, with or without
RDMA.

Yes this should be done for all transport. If there are no objections, I'll send patches to change this.

Would this help/change performance much?

Well, when the application requests direct i/o on a TCP connection,
you definitely don't want to cache it! So even if the performance
is different, correctness would dictate doing this.

You probably don't need to pin the buffer in the TCP case, which
might be worth avoiding.
