Chuck Lever 0ca77dc372 xprtrdma: Allocate RPC send buffer separately from struct rpcrdma_req
Because internal memory registration is an expensive and synchronous
operation, xprtrdma pre-registers send and receive buffers at mount
time, and then re-uses them for each RPC.

A "hardway" allocation is a memory allocation and registration that
replaces a send buffer during the processing of an RPC. Hardway must
be done if the RPC send buffer is too small to accommodate an RPC's
call and reply headers.

For xprtrdma, each RPC send buffer is currently part of struct
rpcrdma_req so that xprt_rdma_free(), which is passed nothing but
the address of an RPC send buffer, can find its matching struct
rpcrdma_req and rpcrdma_rep quickly via container_of / offsetof.

That means that hardway currently has to replace a whole rpcrmda_req
when it replaces an RPC send buffer. This is often a fairly hefty
chunk of contiguous memory due to the size of the rl_segments array
and the fact that both the send and receive buffers are part of
struct rpcrdma_req.

Some obscure re-use of fields in rpcrdma_req is done so that
xprt_rdma_free() can detect replaced rpcrdma_req structs, and
restore the original.

This commit breaks apart the RPC send buffer and struct rpcrdma_req
so that increasing the size of the rl_segments array does not change
the alignment of each RPC send buffer. (Increasing rl_segments is
needed to bump up the maximum r/wsize for NFS/RDMA).

This change opens up some interesting possibilities for improving
the design of xprt_rdma_allocate().

xprt_rdma_allocate() is now the one place where RPC send buffers
are allocated or re-allocated, and they are now always left in place
by xprt_rdma_free().

A large re-allocation that includes both the rl_segments array and
the RPC send buffer is no longer needed. Send buffer re-allocation
becomes quite rare. Good send buffer alignment is guaranteed no
matter what the size of the rl_segments array is.
