svcrdma: support multiple Read chunks per RPC
An efficient way to handle multiple Read chunks is to post them all
together and then take a single completion. This is also how the
code is already structured: when the Read completion fires, all
portions of the incoming RPC message are available to be assembled.
The difficult problem is setting up the Read sink buffers so that
the server pulls the client's data into place, making subsequent
pull-up unnecessary. There are several cases:
* No Read chunks. No-op.
* One data item Read chunk. This is the fast case, where the inline
part of the RPC-over-RDMA message becomes the head and tail, and
the data item chunk is placed in buf->pages.
* A Position-zero Read chunk. Treated like TCP: the Read chunk is
pulled into contiguous pages.
+ A Position-zero Read chunk with data item chunks. Treated like
TCP: all of the Read chunks are pulled into contiguous pages.
+ Multiple data item chunks. Treated like TCP: the inline part is
copied and the data item chunks are pulled into contiguous pages.
The "*" cases are already supported. This patch adds support for the
"+" cases.
