[PATCH 5.11 017/254] cifs: ask for more credit on async read/write code paths

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Mar 29 2021 - 04:46:39 EST


From: Aurelien Aptel <aaptel@xxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 88fd98a2306755b965e4f4567f84e73db3b6738c ]

When doing a large read or write workload we only
very gradually increase the number of credits
which can cause problems with parallelizing large i/o
(I/O ramps up more slowly than it should for large
read/write workloads) especially with multichannel
when the number of credits on the secondary channels
starts out low (e.g. less than about 130) or when
recovering after server throttled back the number
of credit.
