      [PATCH] kNFSd: Convert nfsd to use a list of pages instead of one big buffer · a0e7d495
      Neil Brown authored
      This means:
        1/ We don't need an order-4 allocation for each nfsd that starts
        2/ We don't need an order-4 allocation in skb_linearize when
           we receive a 32K write request
        3/ It will be easier to incorporate the zero-copy read changes
      
      The pages are handed around using an xdr_buf (instead of svc_buf)
      much like the NFS client so future crypto code can use the same
      data structure for both client and server.
      
      The code assumes that most requests and replies fit in a single page.
      The exceptions are assumed to have some largish 'data' bit, and the
      rest must fit in a single page.
      The 'data' bits are file data, readdir data, and symlinks.
      There must be only one 'data' bit per request.
      This is all fine for nfs/nlm.
      
      This isn't complete:
        1/ NFSv4 hasn't been converted yet (it won't compile)
        2/ NFSv3 allows symlinks upto 4096, but the code will only support
           upto about 3800 at the moment
        3/ readdir responses are limited to about 3800.
      
      but I thought that patch was big enough, and the rest can come
      later.
      
      
      This patch introduces vfs_readv and vfs_writev as parallels to
      vfs_read and vfs_write.  This means there is a fair bit of
      duplication in read_write.c that should probably be tidied up...

      [PATCH] kNFSd: nfsd_readdir changes. · 335c5fc7
      Neil Brown authored
      nfsd_readdir - the common readdir code for all version of nfsd,
      contains a number of version-specific things with appropriate checks,
      and also does some xdr-encoding which rightly belongs elsewhere.
      
      This patch simplifies nfsd_readdir to do just the core stuff, and moves
      the version specifics into version specific files, and the xdr encoding
      into xdr encoding files.

      Neil Brown authored
      I forgot to add '1' for the record-length header in RPC/TCP.
