[Patch v3 00/16] CIFS: add support for direct I/O

[Long Li]

From: Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch set implements direct I/O.

In normal code path (even with cache=none), CIFS copies I/O data from
user-space to kernel-space for security reasons of possible protocol
required signing and encryption on user data.

With this patch set, CIFS passes the I/O data directly from user-space
buffer to the transport layer, when file system is mounted with
"cache-none".

Patch v2 addressed comments from Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> and
Tom Talpey <ttalpey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> to implement direct I/O for both
socket and RDMA.

Patch v3 added support for kernel AIO.


Long Li (16):

    smb_rqst
  CIFS: When sending data on socket, pass the correct page offset
  CIFS: SMBD: Support page offset in RDMA send
  CIFS: SMBD: Support page offset in RDMA recv
  CIFS: SMBD: Do not call ib_dereg_mr on invalidated memory registration
  CIFS: SMBD: Support page offset in memory registration
  CIFS: Pass page offset for calculating signature
  CIFS: Pass page offset for encrypting
  CIFS: Add support for direct I/O read
