xdr_start() can return the wrong rmsgp address if an assumption
about how the xdr_buf was constructed changes.  When it gets it
wrong, the client receives a reply that has gibberish in the
RPC/RDMA header, preventing it from matching a waiting RPC request.

Instead, make (and document) just one assumption: that the RDMA
header for the client's RPC call is at the start of the first page
in rq_pages.

Would it make more sense to add another pointer assigned at req
initialization (maybe in the RDMA request context) instead of hard
coding this assumption? I may be completely wrong here though...

Hi Sagi-

Thanks for the review.

I considered this. I couldn’t find an appropriate place to add
such a pointer.

I think that’s why xdr_start() was there in the first place: there
is no convenient place to save a pointer to the request’s RDMA
header.

Bruce might have other thoughts about this.

Yep, I didn't find any nice place to put that also, thought you might
have an idea...
