    smb3: make default i/o size for smb3 mounts larger · e8506d25

    We negotiate rsize mounts (and it can be overridden by user) to
    typically 4MB, so using larger default I/O sizes from userspace
    (changing to 1MB default i/o size returned by stat) the
    performance is much better (and not just for long latency
    network connections) in most use cases for SMB3 than the default I/O
    size (which ends up being 128K for cp and can be even smaller for cp).
    This can be 4x slower or worse depending on network latency.
    
    By changing inode->blocksize from 32K (which was perhaps ok
    for very old SMB1/CIFS) to a larger value, 1MB (but still less than
    max size negotiated with the server which is 4MB, in order to minimize
    risk) it significantly increases performance for the
    noncached case, and slightly increases it for the cached case.
    This can be changed by the user on mount (specifying bsize=
    values from 16K to 16MB) to tune better for performance
    for applications that depend on blocksize.
