[PATCH RFC] nfsd: Fix NFSv4 READ on RDMA when using readv

[Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>]

svcrdma expects that the READ payload falls precisely into the
xdr_buf's page vector. Adding "xdr->iov = NULL" forces
xdr_reserve_space() to always use pages from xdr->buf->pages when
calling nfsd_readv.

Also, the XDR padding is problematic. For NFS/RDMA Write chunks,
the padding needs to be in xdr->buf->tail so that the transport can
skip over it. However for NFS/TCP and the NFS/RDMA Reply chunks,
the padding has to be retained. Not yet sure how to add this.

Fixes: b04209806384 ("nfsd4: allow exotic read compounds")

Howdy Bruce-

I'm struggling with nfsd4_encode_readv().

- for NFS/RDMA Write chunks, the READ payload has to be in
  buf->pages. I've fixed that.

- xdr_reserve_space() calls don't need to explicitly align the
  @nbytes argument: xdr_reserve_space() already does this?

- the while loop probably won't work if a later READ in the COMPOUND
  doesn't start on a page boundary. This isn't a problem until we
  run into a Solaris client in forcedirectio mode.

- the XDR padding doesn't work for NFS/RDMA Write chunks, which are
  supposed to skip padding altogether.

Do you have suggestions? Thanks in advance.
