The netfs library could break down a read request into multiple subrequests. When multichannel is used, there is potential to improve performance when each of these subrequests pick a different channel.
Today we call cifs_pick_channel when the main read request is initialized in cifs_init_request. This change moves this to cifs_prepare_read, which is the right place to pick channel since it gets called for each subrequest.
Interestingly cifs_prepare_write already does channel selection for individual subreq, but looks like it was missed for read. This is especially important when multichannel is used with increased rasize.
In my test setup, with rasize set to 8MB, a sequential read of large file was taking 11.5s without this change. With the change, it completed in 9s. The difference is even more signigicant with bigger rasize.
