    xprtrdma: Client-side support for rpcrdma_connect_private · 87cfb9a0

    Send an RDMA-CM private message on connect, and look for one during
    a connection-established event.
    
    Both sides can communicate their various implementation limits.
    Implementations that don't support this sideband protocol ignore it.
    
    Once the client knows the server's inline threshold maxima, it can
    adjust the use of Reply chunks, and eliminate most use of Position
    Zero Read chunks. Moderately-sized I/O can be done using a pure
    inline RDMA Send instead of RDMA operations that require memory
    registration.
