ubuntu 22.04 (ksmbd v3.4.2) , mount.cifs is ok, but some simple file io ops are failed? about ksmbd

ksmbd in linux-5.15 kernel seems to be unstable. Please use ksmbd in the latest kernel(6.5 or 6.6) or use github ksmbd(https://github.com/cifsd-team/ksmbd). Let me know if you find same issue on the latest ones.

@namjaejeon It works now, thanks.
I will try to test it over RDMA, using MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5] Mellanox Technologies. Did you tested that before?

[namjaejeon]

Did you tested that before?

@tojoyccnu I don't have all kinds of RDMA NICs. I have tested only ConnectX-3 Mellanox and a Chelsio NIC. There will not be some problem.

[namjaejeon]

@tojoyccnu And you need to add "server multi channel support = yes" parameter in [global] section of ksmbd.conf. Without this, RDMA will not work with windows client.

@namjaejeon Has the latest version of ksmbd (git master) been tested for compatibility with Linux kernel 6.6.0?

compile occors errors, like below:

./include/linux/fs.h:3016:43: note: expected ‘u32’ {aka ‘unsigned int’} but argument is of type ‘struct inode *’
3016 | void generic_fillattr(struct mnt_idmap *, u32, struct inode *, struct kstat *);

5170 | time = ksmbd_UnixTimeToNT(inode->i_ctime);

...
and so on.

[tojoyccnu]

Looks like the fix to this will be to use inode_get_ctime(i), and the appropriate setter function, for all of these places we have been accessing i->i_ctime directly。

linux 6.6.0 has changed arguments to function ‘generic_fillattr’.

@namjaejeon

[namjaejeon]

@tojoyccnu Yes, there is a change in vfs. I will call you after updating it tonight or tomorrow.

[namjaejeon]

@tojoyccnu Please check git clone https://github.com/namjaejeon/ksmbd

[tojoyccnu]

@namjaejeon Is there a configuration to configure the number of cpu cores used?

[namjaejeon]

@tojoyccnu No, there is no such configuration in ksmbd. nfs or samba has such options ?
