Re: [smb3] 5efdd9122e: filebench.sum_operations/s -50.0% regression
From: Steve French
Date: Wed Mar 15 2023 - 10:27:19 EST
Can you verify what this perf looks like with "closetime=0" and "closetime=1"
Are there differences in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats when you run the same
steps with "closetimeo=1" vs. the more recent default (5 seconds)?
