Although corking and uncorking the socket (which cifs.ko already does) should usually have the desired benefit, using the new tcpnodelay mount option causes tcp_sock_set_nodelay() to be set on the socket which may be useful in order to ensure that we don't ever have cases where the network stack is waiting on sending an SMB request until multiple SMB requests have been added to the send queue (since this could lead to long latencies). To enable it simply append "tcpnodelay" it to the mount options Reviewed-by: Paulo Alcantara (SUSE) <pc@cjr.nz> Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com>
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 Restructured Text 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.
