From 2e45b922977c07bb339d76fd45e68f9b907fef7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2024 16:58:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] afs: Make read subreqs async Perform AFS read subrequests in a work item rather than in the calling thread. For normal buffered reads, this will allow the calling thread to copy data from the pagecache to the application at the same time as the demarshalling thread is shovelling data from skbuffs into the pagecache. This will also allow the RA mark to trigger a new read before we've finished shovelling the data from the current one. Note: This would be a bit safer if the FS.FetchData RPC ops returned the metadata (including the data version number) before returning the data. This would allow me to flush the pagecache before installing the new data. In future, it may be possible to asynchronously flush the pagecache either side of the region being read.
