SUNRPC: Add a transport-specific private field in rpc_rqst
Currently there's a hidden and indirect mechanism for finding the rpcrdma_req that goes with an rpc_rqst. It depends on getting from the rq_buffer pointer in struct rpc_rqst to the struct rpcrdma_regbuf that controls that buffer, and then to the struct rpcrdma_req it goes with. This was done back in the day to avoid the need to add a per-rqst pointer or to alter the buf_free API when support for RPC-over-RDMA was introduced. I'm about to change the way regbuf's work to support larger inline thresholds. Now is a good time to replace this indirect mechanism with something that is more straightforward. I guess this should be considered a clean up. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>
