An RPC Call message that is sent inline but that has a data payload
(ie, one or more items in rq_snd_buf's page list) must be "pulled
up:"
- call_allocate has to reserve enough RPC Call buffer space to
accommodate the data payload
- call_transmit has to memcopy the rq_snd_buf's page list and tail
into its head iovec before it is sent
As the inline threshold is increased beyond its current 1KB default,
however, this means data payloads of more than a few KB are copied
by the host CPU. For example, if the inline threshold is increased
just to 4KB, then NFS WRITE requests up to 4KB would involve a
memcpy of the NFS WRITE's payload data into the RPC Call buffer.
This is an undesirable amount of participation by the host CPU.
The inline threshold may be much larger than 4KB in the future,
after negotiation with a peer server.
Instead of copying the components of rq_snd_buf into its head iovec,
construct a gather list of these components, and send them all in
place. The same approach is already used in the Linux server's
RPC-over-RDMA reply path.
This mechanism also eliminates the need for rpcrdma_tail_pullup,
which is used to manage the XDR pad and trailing inline content when
a Read list is present.
This requires that the pages in rq_snd_buf's page list be DMA-mapped
during marshaling, and unmapped when a data-bearing RPC is
completed. This is slightly less efficient for very small I/O
payloads, but significantly more efficient as data payload size and
inline threshold increase past a kilobyte.

Currently, each regbuf is allocated and DMA mapped at the same time.
This is done during transport creation.
When a device driver is unloaded, every DMA-mapped buffer in use by
a transport has to be unmapped, and then remapped to the new
device if the driver is loaded again. Remapping will have to be done
_after_ the connect worker has set up the new device.
But there's an ordering problem:
call_allocate, which invokes xprt_rdma_allocate which calls
rpcrdma_alloc_regbuf to allocate Send buffers, happens _before_
the connect worker can run to set up the new device.
Instead, at transport creation, allocate each buffer, but leave it
unmapped. Once the RPC carries these buffers into ->send_request, by
which time a transport connection should have been established,
check to see that the RPC's buffers have been DMA mapped. If not,
map them there.
When device driver unplug support is added, it will simply unmap all
the transport's regbufs, but it doesn't have to deallocate the
underlying memory.

The use of DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL is discouraged by DMA-API.txt.
Fortunately, xprtrdma now knows which direction I/O is going as
soon as it allocates each regbuf.
The RPC Call and Reply buffers are no longer the same regbuf. They
can each be labeled correctly now. The RPC Reply buffer is never
part of either a Send or Receive WR, but it can be part of Reply
chunk, which is mapped and registered via ->ro_map . So it is not
DMA mapped when it is allocated (DMA_NONE), to avoid a double-
mapping.
Since Receive buffers are no longer DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL and their
contents are never modified by the host CPU, DMA-API-HOWTO.txt
suggests that a DMA sync before posting each buffer should be
unnecessary. (See my_card_interrupt_handler).

Commit 949317464b ("xprtrdma: Limit number of RDMA segments in
RPC-over-RDMA headers") capped the number of chunks that may appear
in RPC-over-RDMA headers. The maximum header size can be estimated
and fixed to avoid allocating buffer space that is never used.

Currently there's a hidden and indirect mechanism for finding the
rpcrdma_req that goes with an rpc_rqst. It depends on getting from
the rq_buffer pointer in struct rpc_rqst to the struct
rpcrdma_regbuf that controls that buffer, and then to the struct
rpcrdma_req it goes with.
This was done back in the day to avoid the need to add a per-rqst
pointer or to alter the buf_free API when support for RPC-over-RDMA
was introduced.
I'm about to change the way regbuf's work to support larger inline
thresholds. Now is a good time to replace this indirect mechanism
with something that is more straightforward. I guess this should be
considered a clean up.

Some NFSv4.1 OPEN requests were hanging waiting for the NFS server
to finish recalling delegations. Turns out that each NFSv4.1 CB
request on RDMA gets a GARBAGE_ARGS reply from the Linux client.
Commit 756b9b37cf added a line in bc_svc_process that
overwrites the incoming rq_rcv_buf's length with the value in
rq_private_buf.len. But rpcrdma_bc_receive_call() does not invoke
xprt_complete_bc_request(), thus rq_private_buf.len is not
initialized. svc_process_common() is invoked with a zero-length
RPC message, and fails.

xprtrdma's backward direction send and receive buffers are the same
size as the forechannel's inline threshold, and must be pre-
registered.
The consumer has no control over which receive buffer the adapter
chooses to catch an incoming backwards-direction call. Any receive
buffer can be used for either a forward reply or a backward call.
Thus both types of RPC message must all be the same size.
