Hello lkml,

I've did a bisect to find 'bad' commit, and I've found, that problem
commit is:

# first bad commit: [e8506d25f740fd058791cc12a6dfa9386ada6b96] smb3: make default i/o size for smb3 mounts larger

It seems, that problem is somewhere in cifs?

Detailed information about mounting this cifs filesystem:

fstab:

//some.machine/jmarek       /mnt/smb   cifs    _netdev,credentials=/etc/cred_file,forceuid,forcegid,uid=root,gid=root,vers=1.0 3 0

some.machine runs Samba (sorry, I don't know, which version,
server administrator is just now on vacancy).

Questions are welcome.

I can test patches, if you will need.

Sincerely
Jan Marek
