Chuck Lever f13193f50b svcrdma: Introduce local rdma_rw API helpers
The plan is to replace the local bespoke code that constructs and
posts RDMA Read and Write Work Requests with calls to the rdma_rw
API. This shares code with other RDMA-enabled ULPs that manages the
gory details of buffer registration and posting Work Requests.

Some design notes:

 o The structure of RPC-over-RDMA transport headers is flexible,
   allowing multiple segments per Reply with arbitrary alignment,
   each with a unique R_key. Write and Send WRs continue to be
   built and posted in separate code paths. However, one whole
   chunk (with one or more RDMA segments apiece) gets exactly
   one ib_post_send and one work completion.

 o svc_xprt reference counting is modified, since a chain of
   rdma_rw_ctx structs generates one completion, no matter how
   many Write WRs are posted.

 o The current code builds the transport header as it is construct-
   ing Write WRs. I've replaced that with marshaling of transport
   header data items in a separate step. This is because the exact
   structure of client-provided segments may not align with the
   components of the server's reply xdr_buf, or the pages in the
   page list. Thus parts of each client-provided segment may be
   written at different points in the send path.

select SUNRPC_GSS
help
Choose Y here to enable Secure RPC using the Kerberos version 5
GSS-API mechanism (RFC 1964).
Secure RPC calls with Kerberos require an auxiliary user-space
daemon which may be found in the Linux nfs-utils package
available from http://linux-nfs.org/. In addition, user-space
Kerberos support should be installed.
If unsure, say Y.

select DEBUG_FS
help
This option enables a sysctl-based debugging interface
that is be used by the 'rpcdebug' utility to turn on or off
logging of different aspects of the kernel RPC activity.
Disabling this option will make your kernel slightly smaller,
but makes troubleshooting NFS issues significantly harder.
If unsure, say Y.

select SG_POOL
help
This option allows the NFS client and server to use RDMA
transports (InfiniBand, iWARP, or RoCE).
To compile this support as a module, choose M. The module
will be called rpcrdma.ko.
If unsure, or you know there is no RDMA capability on your
hardware platform, say N.
