NFS: Account for XDR pad of buf->pages
Certain NFS results (eg. READLINK) might expect a data payload that is not an exact multiple of 4 bytes. In this case, XDR encoding is required to pad that payload so its length on the wire is a multiple of 4 bytes. The constants that define the maximum size of each NFS result do not appear to account for this extra word. In each case where the data payload is to be received into pages: - 1 word is added to the size of the receive buffer allocated by call_allocate - rpc_inline_rcv_pages subtracts 1 word from @hdrsize so that the extra buffer space falls into the rcv_buf's tail iovec - If buf->pagelen is word-aligned, an XDR pad is not needed and is thus removed from the tail Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>
