The client provides the location of Write chunks into which the
server writes bulk payload. The client provides these when the
Upper Layer Protocol wants direct data placement and the Binding
allows it. (For NFS, this is READ and READLINK operations).
The client also provides the location of a Reply chunk into which
the server writes the non-bulk part of an RPC reply. The client
provides this chunk whenever it believes the reply can be larger
than its receive buffers.
The server then uses the presence of these chunks to determine how
it will form its reply message.
svc_rdma_sendto() was looking for Write and Reply chunks multiple
times for every reply message. It would be more efficient to do it
just once.
