[PATCH v3 12/34] NFSD: Use xdrgen XDR functions for NFSv3 READLINK procedure

[Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org>]

Replace the hand-written NFSv3 READLINK codec pair with the
xdrgen-generated functions. The NFSPROC3_READLINK entry in the
nfsd_procedures3 array now dispatches nfs_svc_decode_READLINK3args
and nfs_svc_encode_READLINK3res. A wrapper structure bridges the
generated xdrgen fhandle type and the legacy svc_fh representation
the NFSD VFS layer still uses.

The link target does not reside at the data pointer of the
READLINK3resok data member: nfsd_readlink() deposits it directly
in a page of the Reply buffer, so the generic encoder that copies
an opaque from the member's data pointer cannot encode it. Mark
the data member with the "pragma pages" directive so the generated
encoder calls svcxdr_encode_opaque_payload(), which encodes the
length prefix and inserts the payload page into the stream by
reference. The page anchor that the result structure carried
duplicated rq_res.pages -- svc_process() points rq_res.pages at
the first Reply page before dispatch, and the READLINK3args
argument decoder consumes no pages -- so the helper locates the
payload through the Reply buffer itself, and the wrapper collapses
to the generated READLINK3res type.

The pc_argzero field is now set to zero for the NFSv3 READLINK
procedure. The xdrgen decoders are trusted to initialize all
arguments in the argp->xdrgen field, making the early defensive
memset unnecessary. The remaining argp fields are cleared as
needed.

Because nfsd3_proc_readlink() now fills in the post-op attributes,
the fh_getattr() calls are made in the proc function rather than
in the XDR result encoder, and the reference to the file handle
can be released directly by nfsd3_proc_readlink(). A separate
->pc_release callback is thus no longer needed. This makes it
straightforward to confirm that the file handle is properly
released during every error flow.
