Refactor to eventually enable svcrdma to post the Write WRs for each
RPC response using the same ib_post_send() as the Send WR (ie, as a
single WR chain).
svc_rdma_result_payload (originally svc_rdma_read_payload) was added
so that the upper layer XDR encoder could identify a range of bytes
to be possibly conveyed by RDMA (if a Write chunk was provided by
the client).
The purpose of commit f6ad77590a5d ("svcrdma: Post RDMA Writes while
XDR encoding replies") was to post as much of the result payload
outside of svc_rdma_sendto() as possible because svc_rdma_sendto()
used to be called with the xpt_mutex held.
However, since commit ca4faf543a33 ("SUNRPC: Move xpt_mutex into
socket xpo_sendto methods"), the xpt_mutex is no longer held when
calling svc_rdma_sendto(). Thus, that benefit is no longer an issue.

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.
