Add support for using multiple connections
The -o max_conns=N option causes multiple SSH processes and response processing threads to be created. This means that e.g. reading a large file no longer blocks all access to the filesystem. The connection is chosen by checking the per-connection statistics: 1. Choose connection with least outstanding requests; if it's a tie, 2. choose connection with least directory handles; if it's a tie, 3. choose connection with least file handles; if it's a tie, 4. choose connection which has already been established. The implementation assumes that the max_conns values will be small; it uses linear search. Example benchmark: With single connection: $ sshfs -o max_conns=1,workaround=nobuflimit ebox: mnt $ cat mnt/tmp/bigfile > /dev/null & $ time find mnt > /dev/null real 1m50.432s user 0m0.133s sys 0m0.467s With multiple connections: $ ~/in-progress/sshfs/build/sshfs -o max_conns=5,workaround=nobuflimit ebox: mnt $ cat mnt/tmp/bigfile > /dev/null & $ time find mnt > /dev/null real 1m15.338s user 0m0.142s sys 0m0.491s This feature was implemented to large extend by Timo Savola <[email protected]>. Thanks to CEA.fr for sponsoring the remaining work to complete this feature and integrate it into SSHFS!
