With:
 aio read size = 1
 aio write size = 1

As far as I can tell, this is with the default AIO backend on Linux
(there are no additional AIO patches, just --with-aio-support). 

I have network captures (the success case is too large to post to the
list), but essentially the SMB2 write request is never answered, and
eventually (1 min after the last send write) the connection is dropped. 

The transfer was from a Samba4 server to a Samba 3.6.3 NAS, via a
Windows 2008R2 VM. 

This all works when AIO is disabled on Samba 3.6.3.

Naturally, I'll keep digging into this, but any clues you can provide
would be most appreciated. 

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
