SubjectRe: [PATCH] cifs: Fix problem with encrypted RDMA data read
From
Hi David,

see below...

I'm not sure I understand why this would fix anything when encryption is enabled.

Is the payload still be offloaded as plaintext? Otherwise we wouldn't have use_rdma_mr...
So this rather looks like a fix for the non encrypted case.

Before smbd_register_mr() is called we typically have a check like this:

if (server->rdma && !server->sign && wdata->bytes >=
server->smbd_conn->rdma_readwrite_threshold) {

I'm wondering if server->sign is true for the encryption case, otherwise
we would have to add a !encrypt check in addition as we should never use
RDMA offload for encrypted connections.

Latest Windows servers allow encrypted/signed offload, but that needs to be
negotiated via MS-SMB2 2.2.3.1.6 SMB2_RDMA_TRANSFORM_CAPABILITIES, see
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-smb2/52b74a74-9838-4f51-b2b0-efeb23bd79d6
And SMB2_READFLAG_RESPONSE_RDMA_TRANSFORM in MS-SMB2 2.2.20 SMB2 READ Response
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-smb2/3e3d2f2c-0e2f-41ea-ad07-fbca6ffdfd90
As well as SMB2_CHANNEL_RDMA_TRANSFORM in 2.2.21 SMB2 WRITE Request
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-smb2/e7046961-3318-4350-be2a-a8d69bb59ce8
But none of this is implemented in Linux yet.
