xprtrdma: Allow Read list and Reply chunk simultaneously
rpcrdma_marshal_req() makes a simplifying assumption: that NFS operations with large Call messages have small Reply messages, and vice versa. Therefore with RPC-over-RDMA, only one chunk type is ever needed for each Call/Reply pair, because one direction needs chunks, the other direction will always fit inline. In fact, this assumption is asserted in the code: if (rtype != rpcrdma_noch && wtype != rpcrdma_noch) { dprintk("RPC: %s: cannot marshal multiple chunk lists\n", __func__); return -EIO; } But RPCGSS_SEC breaks this assumption. Because krb5i and krb5p perform data transformation on RPC messages before they are transmitted, direct data placement techniques cannot be used, thus RPC messages must be sent via a Long call in both directions. All such calls are sent with a Position Zero Read chunk, and all such replies are handled with a Reply chunk. Thus the client must provide every Call/Reply pair with both a Read list and a Reply chunk. Without any special security in effect, NFSv4 WRITEs may now also use the Read list and provide a Reply chunk. The marshal_req logic was preventing that, meaning an NFSv4 WRITE with a large payload that included a GETATTR result larger than the inline threshold would fail. The code that encodes each chunk list is now completely contained in its own function. There is some code duplication, but the trade-off is that the overall logic should be more clear. Note that all three chunk lists now share the rl_segments array. Some additional per-req accounting is necessary to track this usage. For the same reasons that the above simplifying assumption has held true for so long, I don't expect more array elements are needed at this time.
