From ba838a75e73f55a780f1ee896b8e3ecb032dba0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chuck Lever Date: Fri, 29 May 2020 14:14:40 -0400 Subject: NFS: Fix direct WRITE throughput regression I measured a 50% throughput regression for large direct writes. The observed on-the-wire behavior is that the client sends every NFS WRITE twice: once as an UNSTABLE WRITE plus a COMMIT, and once as a FILE_SYNC WRITE. This is because the nfs_write_match_verf() check in nfs_direct_commit_complete() fails for every WRITE. Buffered writes use nfs_write_completion(), which sets req->wb_verf correctly. Direct writes use nfs_direct_write_completion(), which does not set req->wb_verf at all. This leaves req->wb_verf set to all zeroes for every direct WRITE, and thus nfs_direct_commit_completion() always sets NFS_ODIRECT_RESCHED_WRITES. This fix appears to restore nearly all of the lost performance.
