svc_xprt_release() invokes svc_free_res_pages(), which releases
pages between rq_respages and rq_next_page.
Historically, the RPC/RDMA transport has set these two pointers to
be different by one, which means:
- one page gets released when svc_recv returns 0. This normally
happens whenever one or more RDMA Reads need to be dispatched to
complete construction of an RPC Call.
- one page gets released after every call to svc_send.
In both cases, this released page is immediately refilled by
svc_alloc_arg. There does not seem to be a reason for releasing this
page.
To avoid this unnecessary memory allocator traffic, set rq_next_page
more carefully.
