+/* Operation
+ *
+ * The main entry point is svc_rdma_recvfrom. This is called from
+ * svc_recv when the transport indicates there is incoming data to
+ * be read. "Data Ready" is signaled when an RDMA Receive completes,
+ * or when a set of RDMA Reads complete.
+ *
+ * An svc_rqst is passed in. This structure contains an array of
+ * free pages (rq_pages) that will contain the incoming RPC message.
+ *
+ * Short messages are moved directly into svc_rqst::rq_arg, and
+ * the RPC Call is ready to be processed by the Upper Layer.
+ * svc_rdma_recvfrom returns the length of the RPC Call message,
+ * completing the reception of the RPC Call.
+ *
+ * However, when an incoming message has Read chunks,
+ * svc_rdma_recvfrom must post RDMA Reads to pull the RPC Call's
+ * data payload from the client. svc_rdma_recvfrom sets up the
+ * RDMA Reads using pages in svc_rqst::rq_pages, which are
+ * transferred to an svc_rdma_op_ctxt for the duration of the
+ * I/O. svc_rdma_recvfrom then returns zero, since the RPC message
+ * is still not yet ready.
+ *
+ * When the Read chunk payloads have become available on the
+ * server, "Data Ready" is raised again, and svc_recv calls
+ * svc_rdma_recvfrom again. This second call may use a different
+ * svc_rqst than the first one, thus any information that needs
+ * to be preserved across these two calls is kept in an
+ * svc_rdma_op_ctxt.
+ *
+ * The second call to svc_rdma_recvfrom performs final assembly
+ * of the RPC Call message, using the RDMA Read sink pages kept in
+ * the svc_rdma_op_ctxt. The xdr_buf is copied from the
+ * svc_rdma_op_ctxt to the second svc_rqst. The second call returns
+ * the length of the completed RPC Call message.
+ *
+ * Page Management
+ *
+ * Pages under I/O must be transferred from the first svc_rqst to an
+ * svc_rdma_op_ctxt before the first svc_rdma_recvfrom call returns.
+ *
+ * The first svc_rqst supplies pages for RDMA Reads. These are moved
+ * from rqstp::rq_pages into ctxt::pages. The consumed elements of
+ * the rq_pages array are set to NULL and refilled with the first
+ * svc_rdma_recvfrom call returns.
+ *
+ * During the second svc_rdma_recvfrom call, RDMA Read sink pages
+ * are transferred from the svc_rdma_op_ctxt to the second svc_rqst
+ * (see rdma_read_complete() below).
