The ib_mr-&gt;length represents the length of the MR in bytes as per
the IBTA spec 1.3 section 11.2.10.3 (REGISTER PHYSICAL MEMORY REGION).

Currently ib_mr-&gt;length field is defined as only 32-bits field.
This might result into truncation and failed WRs of consumers who
registers more than 4GB bytes memory regions and whose WRs accessing
such MRs.

This patch makes the length 64-bit to avoid such truncation.

RPC_TASK_NO_RETRANS_TIMEOUT is set when cl_noretranstimeo
is set, which happens when  RPC_CLNT_CREATE_NO_RETRANS_TIMEOUT is set,
which happens when NFS_CS_NO_RETRANS_TIMEOUT is set.

This flag means "don't resend on a timeout, only resend if the
connection gets broken for some reason".

cl_discrtry is set when RPC_CLNT_CREATE_DISCRTRY is set, which
happens when NFS_CS_DISCRTRY is set.

This flag means "always disconnect before resending".

NFS_CS_NO_RETRANS_TIMEOUT and NFS_CS_DISCRTRY are both only set
in nfs4_init_client(), and it always sets both.

So we will never have a situation where only one of the flags is set.
So this code, which tests if timeout retransmits are allowed, and
disconnection is required, will never run.

So it makes sense to remove this code as it cannot be tested and
could confuse people reading the code (like me).

(alternately we could leave it there with a comment saying
 it is never actually used).

<title>xprtrdma: Use xprt_pin_rqst in rpcrdma_reply_handler</title>

<content type='text'>
Adopt the use of xprt_pin_rqst to eliminate contention between
Call-side users of rb_lock and the use of rb_lock in
rpcrdma_reply_handler.

This replaces the mechanism introduced in 431af645cf66 ("xprtrdma:
Fix client lock-up after application signal fires").

Use recv_lock to quickly find the completing rqst, pin it, then
drop the lock. At that point invalidation and pull-up of the Reply
XDR can be done. Both are often expensive operations.

Finally, take recv_lock again to signal completion to the RPC
layer. It also protects adjustment of "cwnd".

This greatly reduces the amount of time a lock is held by the
reply handler. Comparing lock_stat results shows a marked decrease
in contention on rb_lock and recv_lock.

The rdma_rw API adjusts max_send_wr upwards during the
rdma_create_qp() call. If the ULP actually wants to take advantage
of these extra resources, it must increase the size of its send
completion queue (created before rdma_create_qp is called) and
increase its send queue accounting limit.

Use the new rdma_rw_mr_factor API to figure out the correct value
to use for the Send Queue and Send Completion Queue depths.

And, ensure that the chosen Send Queue depth for a newly created
transport does not overrun the QP WR limit of the underlying device.

Lastly, there's no longer a need to carry the Send Queue depth in
struct svcxprt_rdma, since the value is used only in the
svc_rdma_accept() path.

So that NFS WRITE payloads can eventually be placed directly into a
file's page cache, enable the RPC-over-RDMA transport to present
these payloads in the xdr_buf's page list, while placing trailing
content (such as a GETATTR operation) in the xdr_buf's tail.

After this change, the RPC-over-RDMA's "copy tail" hack, added by
commit a97c331f9aa9 ("svcrdma: Handle additional inline content"),
is no longer needed and can be removed.
