[v1,07/18] xprtrdma: Pre-allocate backward rpc_rqst and send/receive buffers

Commit Message

Chuck Lever Sept. 17, 2015, 8:45 p.m. UTC

xprtrdma's backward direction send and receive buffers are the same
size as the forechannel's inline threshold, and must be pre-
registered.

The consumer has no control over which receive buffer the adapter
chooses to catch an incoming backwards-direction call. Any receive
buffer can be used for either a forward reply or a backward call.
Thus both types of RPC message must all be the same size.
