[PATCH v3 9/9] smb: client: apply rasize on remount

From: rajasimandalos

Date: Thu May 21 2026 - 11:05:52 EST


From: Rajasi Mandal <rajasimandal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

rasize is accepted during remount parsing but sb->s_bdi->ra_pages is
only set in cifs_read_super() at mount time. A remount with a new
rasize value silently has no effect on the readahead window.

Update ra_pages in smb3_reconfigure() after the context has been
duplicated, using the same logic as cifs_read_super(): if rasize is
set, use it directly; otherwise fall back to 2 * rsize.
