When sending the last iov that breaks into smaller buffers to fit the
transfer size, it's necessary to check if this is the last iov.

If this is the latest iov, stop and proceed to send pages.

But a question unrelated to this change arose during my review:  At the
beginning and end of smbd_send(), the field smbd_send_pending is
incremented and decremented, respectively.   The increment/decrement
are not done as atomic operations.  Is this code guaranteed to be single
threaded?  If not, the count could become corrupted, and
smbd_destroy_rdma_work(), which waits for the count to become zero,
could hang.  A similar question applies to smbd_recv_pending in smbd_recv().

It is safe. The transport sending path is locked by TCP_Server_Info->srv_mutex.

The transport receiving path is single threaded.
