Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Always provide aligned buffers to the RPC read layers
Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2021 14:00:56 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210827180056.610170-1-trondmy@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

Instead of messing around with XDR padding in the RDMA layer, we should
just give the RPC layer an aligned buffer. Try to avoid creating extra
RPC calls by aligning to the smaller value of ALIGN(len, rsize) and
PAGE_SIZE.
