svcrdma needs 259 pages allocated to receive 1MB NFSv4.0 WRITE requests:
- 1 page for the transport header and head iovec
- 256 pages for the data payload
- 1 page for the trailing GETATTR request (since NFSD XDR decoding
does not look for a tail iovec, the GETATTR is stuck at the end
of the rqstp->rq_arg.pages list)
- 1 page for building the reply xdr_buf
But RPCSVC_MAXPAGES is already 259 (on x86_64). The problem is that
svc_alloc_arg never allocates that many pages. To address this:
1. The final element of rq_pages always points to NULL. To
accommodate up to 259 pages in rq_pages, add an extra element
to rq_pages for the array termination sentinel.
2. Adjust the calculation of "pages" to match how RPCSVC_MAXPAGES
is calculated, so it can go up to 259. Bruce noted that the
calculation assumes sv_max_mesg is a multiple of PAGE_SIZE,
which might not always be true. I didn't change this assumption.
3. Change the loop boundaries to allow 259 pages to be allocated.
Additional clean-up: WARN_ON_ONCE adds an extra conditional branch,
which is basically never taken. And there's no need to dump the
stack here because svc_alloc_arg has only one caller.
Keeping that NULL "array termination sentinel"; there doesn't appear to
be any code that depends on it, only code in nfsd_splice_actor() which
needs the 259th element to be initialized to *something*. So it's
possible we could just keep the array at 259 elements and drop that
final NULL, but we're being conservative for now.
