I am not sure I understand the details correctly. iounit is the size
that we use in client_read to determine the size in which
we should request I/O from the client. But we still can't do I/O in size
larger than s->msize. If you look at the client side (kernel 9p fs), you
will find
rsize = fid->iounit;
if (!rsize || rsize > clnt->msize-P9_IOHDRSZ)
rsize = clnt->msize - P9_IOHDRSZ;
if your iounit calculation ends up zero, that should be handled
correctly by
if (!iounit) {
iounit = s->msize - P9_IOHDRSZ;
}
return iounit;
So what is the issue here. ?
