[PATCH v3 0/2] Fix write pad

[Chuck Lever]

Hi Anna-

Can you include this series in your next pull request to Trond?

Trond, 

This series addresses your concern about xprtrdma using the 
rq_rcv_buf.tail vector in some cases to receive an XDR pad. It has
been tested with a legacy Solaris server, in addition to the usual
tests I run.

We haven't yet confirmed whether this addresses the GPU-Direct
issue, but since that is an out-of-tree user that depends on 
unsupported kernel facilities, I regard that confirmation as only
"nice to have", not mandatory. We are confident this change will
address that situation, based on our understanding of the issue.

Changes since v2:
- Address more review comments from Tom Talpey

[PATCH v3 1/2] xprtrdma: Provide a buffer to pad Write chunks of unaligned length

[Chuck Lever]

This is a buffer to be left persistently registered while a
connection is up. Connection tear-down will automatically DMA-unmap,
invalidate, and dereg the MR. A persistently registered buffer is
lower in cost to provide, and it can never be coalesced into the
RDMA segment that carries the data payload.

An RPC that provisions a Write chunk with a non-aligned length now
uses this MR rather than the tail buffer of the RPC's rq_rcv_buf.

[PATCH v3 2/2] xprtrdma: Remove rpcrdma_ep::re_implicit_roundup

[Chuck Lever]

Clean up: this field is no longer used.

xprt_rdma_pad_optimize is also no longer used, but is left in place
because it is part of the kernel/userspace API.
