Hello Volker,

Thanks for kindly response!

After testing the same workload on different release,
including samba-4.0 and master (git on 2014/03/31),
and the iometer shows an inspiring result:

(unit: IOps)
samba-4.0.13  read:46712 write:28038
samba-4.0.14  read:84230 write:28627
samba-master  read:95363 write:50472

Guess the improvement between 4.0.{13,14} might be this one,
that's really amazing:

With 'strace' on samba-master,
there are 1 RECVFILE with 4 fcntl too,
hence i would like to try the part as Jeremy mentioned earlier,
thanks.

fcntl64(31, F_GETFL)                    = 0x802 (flags O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK)
fcntl64(31, F_GETFL)                    = 0x802 (flags O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK)
fcntl64(31, F_SETFL, O_RDWR)            = 0
_llseek(37, 290012672, [290012672], SEEK_SET) = 0
read(31, "g\1\307_\233\304\203\243\344\212\277VJ\310;\325P-\235\272"...,
512) = 512
write(37, "g\1\307_\233\304\203\243\344\212\277VJ\310;\325P-\235\272"...,
512) = 512
fcntl64(31, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
