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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
