The Linux NFS server returns garbage in the data payload of inline
NFS/RDMA READ replies. These are READs of under 1000 bytes or so
where the client has not provided either a reply chunk or a write
list.

The NFS server delivers the data payload for an NFS READ reply to
the transport in an xdr_buf page list. If the NFS client did not
provide a reply chunk or a write list, send_reply() is supposed to
set up a separate sge for the page containing the READ data, and
another sge for XDR padding if needed, then post all of the sges via
a single SEND Work Request.

The problem is send_reply() does not advance through the xdr_buf
when setting up scatter/gather entries for SEND WR. It always calls
dma_map_xdr with xdr_off set to zero. When there's more than one
sge, dma_map_xdr() sets up the SEND sge's so they all point to the
xdr_buf's head.

The current Linux NFS/RDMA client always provides a reply chunk o...
