d6a77668a7In the I/O locking code borrowed from NFS into netfslib, i_rwsem is held locked across a buffered write - but this causes a performance regression in cifs as it excludes buffered reads for the duration (cifs didn't use any locking for buffered reads). Mitigate this somewhat by downgrading the i_rwsem to a read lock across the buffered write. This at least allows parallel reads to occur whilst excluding other writes, DIO, truncate and setattr. Note that this shouldn't be a problem for a buffered write as a read through an mmap can circumvent i_rwsem anyway. Also note that we might want to make this change in NFS also.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
