svcrdma needs 259 pages allocated to receive 1MB NFSv4.0 WRITE requests: - 1 page for the transport header and head iovec - 256 pages for the data payload - 1 page for the trailing GETATTR request (since NFSD XDR decoding does not look for a tail iovec, the GETATTR is stuck at the end of the rqstp->rq_arg.pages list) - 1 page for building the reply xdr_buf But RPCSVC_MAXPAGES is already 259 (on x86_64). The problem is that svc_alloc_arg never allocates that many pages. To address this: 1. The final element of rq_pages always points to NULL. To accommodate up to 259 pages in rq_pages, add an extra element to rq_pages for the array termination sentinel. 2. Adjust the calculation of "pages" to match how RPCSVC_MAXPAGES is calculated, so it can go up to 259. Bruce noted that the calculation assumes sv_max_mesg is a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, which might not always be true. I didn't change this assumption. 3. Change the loop boundaries to allow 259 pages to be allocated. Additional clean-up: WARN_ON_ONCE adds an extra conditional branch, which is basically never taken. And there's no need to dump the stack here because svc_alloc_arg has only one caller. Keeping that NULL "array termination sentinel"; there doesn't appear to be any code that depends on it, only code in nfsd_splice_actor() which needs the 259th element to be initialized to *something*. So it's possible we could just keep the array at 259 elements and drop that final NULL, but we're being conservative for now. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
