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.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
