Olga K. observed that rpcrdma_marsh_req() allocates sparse pages only when it has determined that a Reply chunk is necessary. There are plenty of cases where no Reply chunk is needed, but the XDRBUF_SPARSE_PAGES flag is set. The result would be a crash in rpcrdma_inline_fixup() when it tries to copy parts of the received Reply into a missing page. To avoid crashing, handle sparse page allocation up front. Until XATTR support was added, this issue did not appear often because the only SPARSE_PAGES consumer always expected a reply large enough to always require a Reply chunk.
