Trond Myklebust reports an NFSD crash in svc_rdma_sendto(). Further
investigation shows that the crash occurred while NFSD was handling
a deferred request.
This patch addresses two inter-related issues that prevent request
deferral from working correctly for RPC/RDMA requests:
1. Prevent the crash by ensuring that the original
svc_rqst::rq_xprt_ctxt value is available when the request is
revisited. Otherwise svc_rdma_sendto() does not have a Receive
context available with which to construct its reply.
2. Possibly since before commit 71641d99ce ("svcrdma: Properly
compute .len and .buflen for received RPC Calls"),
svc_rdma_recvfrom() did not include the transport header in the
returned xdr_buf. There should have been no need for svc_defer()
and friends to save and restore that header, as of that commit.
This issue is addressed in a backport-friendly way by simply
having svc_rdma_recvfrom() set rq_xprt_hlen to zero
unconditionally, just as svc_tcp_recvfrom() does. This enables
svc_deferred_recv() to correctly reconstruct an RPC message
received via RPC/RDMA.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
