2025-06-27smb: improve directory cache reuse for readdir operationsBharath SM
commit 72dd7961a4bb4fa1fc456169a61dd12e68e50645 upstream. Currently, cached directory contents were not reused across subsequent 'ls' operations because the cache validity check relied on comparing the ctx pointer, which changes with each readdir invocation. As a result, the cached dir entries was not marked as valid and the cache was not utilized for subsequent 'ls' operations. This change uses the file pointer, which remains consistent across all readdir calls for a given directory instance, to associate and validate the cache. As a result, cached directory contents can now be correctly reused, improving performance for repeated directory listings. Performance gains with local windows SMB server: Without the patch and default actimeo=1: 1000 directory enumeration operations on dir with 10k files took 135.0s With this patch and actimeo=0: 1000 directory enumeration operations on dir with 10k files took just 5.1s Signed-off-by: Bharath SM <bharathsm@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: Shyam Prasad N <sprasad@microsoft.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2024-12-05smb: During unmount, ensure all cached dir instances drop their dentryPaul Aurich
commit 3fa640d035e5ae526769615c35cb9ed4be6e3662 upstream. The unmount process (cifs_kill_sb() calling close_all_cached_dirs()) can race with various cached directory operations, which ultimately results in dentries not being dropped and these kernel BUGs: BUG: Dentry ffff88814f37e358{i=1000000000080,n=/} still in use (2) [unmount of cifs cifs] VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs (cifs) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/super.c:661! This happens when a cfid is in the process of being cleaned up when, and has been removed from the cfids->entries list, including: - Receiving a lease break from the server - Server reconnection triggers invalidate_all_cached_dirs(), which removes all the cfids from the list - The laundromat thread decides to expire an old cfid. To solve these problems, dropping the dentry is done in queued work done in a newly-added cfid_put_wq workqueue, and close_all_cached_dirs() flushes that workqueue after it drops all the dentries of which it's aware. This is a global workqueue (rather than scoped to a mount), but the queued work is minimal. The final cleanup work for cleaning up a cfid is performed via work queued in the serverclose_wq workqueue; this is done separate from dropping the dentries so that close_all_cached_dirs() doesn't block on any server operations. Both of these queued works expect to invoked with a cfid reference and a tcon reference to avoid those objects from being freed while the work is ongoing. While we're here, add proper locking to close_all_cached_dirs(), and locking around the freeing of cfid->dentry.

2023-10-12smb: client: make laundromat a delayed workerPaulo Alcantara
By having laundromat kthread processing cached directories on every second turned out to be overkill, especially when having multiple SMB mounts. Relax it by using a delayed worker instead that gets scheduled on every @dir_cache_timeout (default=30) seconds per tcon. This also fixes the 1s delay when tearing down tcon.
