nfs_file_direct_write() or nfs_file_direct_read() allocated a request

nfs_direct_write_schedule_iovec() resp
nfs_direct_read_schedule_iovec() are called which will asynchronously
process the request. The calling function waits via nfs_direct_wait()
till the async work has been done. Thus there is only one waiter on

nfs_direct_pgio_init() and nfs_direct_read_completion() are passed via

Add a waitqueue head to the client structure. Have clients set a wait

However, only do that for NFSv4.1 locks, either by compiling out
all of the waitqueue handling when CONFIG_NFS_V4_1 is disabled, or
skipping all of it at runtime if we're dealing with v4.0, or v4.1

[2] xs_write_space <-xs_tcp_write_space
[3] xprt_write_space <-xs_write_space
[4] rpc_task_sleep: task:43546@5 ...
[5] xs_write_space <-xs_tcp_write_space
[1] Task 43546 runs but is out of write space.
[2] Space becomes available, xs_write_space() clears the
SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit.
[3] xprt_write_space() attemts to wake xprt->snd_task (== 43546), but
this has not yet been queued and the wake up is lost.
[4] xs_nospace() is called which calls xprt_wait_for_buffer_space()
which queues task 43546.
[5] The call to sk->sk_write_space() at the end of xs_nospace() (which
is supposed to handle the above race) does not call
xprt_write_space() as the SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit is clear and
thus the task is not woken.
Fix the race by resetting the SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE bit in xs_nospace()
so the second call to sk->sk_write_space() calls xprt_write_space().

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).

RPC-over-RDMA needs to separate its RPC call and reply buffers.
o When an RPC Call is sent, rq_snd_buf is DMA mapped for an RDMA
Send operation using DMA_TO_DEVICE
o If the client expects a large RPC reply, it DMA maps rq_rcv_buf
as part of a Reply chunk using DMA_FROM_DEVICE
The two mappings are for data movement in opposite directions.
DMA-API.txt suggests that if these mappings share a DMA cacheline,
bad things can happen. This could occur in the final bytes of
rq_snd_buf and the first bytes of rq_rcv_buf if the two buffers
happen to share a DMA cacheline.
On x86_64 the cacheline size is typically 8 bytes, and RPC call
messages are usually much smaller than the send buffer, so this
hasn't been a noticeable problem. But the DMA cacheline size can be
larger on other platforms.
Also, often rq_rcv_buf starts most of the way into a page, thus
an additional RDMA segment is needed to map and register the end of
that buffer. Try to avoid that scenario to reduce the cost of
registering and invalidating Reply chunks.
Instead of carrying a single regbuf that covers both rq_snd_buf and
rq_rcv_buf, each struct rpcrdma_req now carries one regbuf for
rq_snd_buf and one regbuf for rq_rcv_buf.
Some incidental changes worth noting:
- To clear out some spaghetti, refactor xprt_rdma_allocate.
- The value stored in rg_size is the same as the value stored in
the iov.length field, so eliminate rg_size

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

For xprtrdma, the RPC Call and Reply buffers are involved in real
I/O operations.
To start with, the DMA direction of the I/O for a Call is opposite
that of a Reply.
In the current arrangement, the Reply buffer address is on a
four-byte alignment just past the call buffer. Would be friendlier
on some platforms if that was at a DMA cache alignment instead.
Because the current arrangement allocates a single memory region
which contains both buffers, the RPC Reply buffer often contains a
page boundary in it when the Call buffer is large enough (which is
frequent).
It would be a little nicer for setting up DMA operations (and
possible registration of the Reply buffer) if the two buffers were
separated, well-aligned, and contained as few page boundaries as
possible.
Now, I could just pad out the single memory region used for the pair
of buffers. But frequently that would mean a lot of unused space to
ensure the Reply buffer did not have a page boundary.
Add a separate pointer to rpc_rqst that points right to the RPC
Reply buffer. This makes no difference to xprtsock, but it will help
xprtrdma in subsequent patches.
