In fact, maybe we just need this here? (untested and probably
whitespace damaged):

That looks plausible! Basically that is needed after xdr_buf_init()
is done for a backchannel rpc_rqst's receive buffer.

net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/backchannel.c might need a similar change. I saw
crashes with generic/013 at bake-a-thon last week, but as the iommu
was involved with those, I've been looking in a different place. Will
give this a try.
