Move common code in NFSD's legacy NFS WRITE decoders into a helper. The immediate benefit is reduction of code duplication and some nice micro-optimizations (see below). In the long term, this helper can perform a per-transport call-out to fill the rq_vec (say, using RDMA Reads). The legacy WRITE decoders and procs are changed to work like NFSv4, which constructs the rq_vec just before it is about to call vfs_writev. Why? Calling a transport call-out from the proc instead of the XDR decoder means that the incoming FH can be resolved to a particular filesystem and file. This would allow pages from the backing file to be presented to the transport to be filled, rather than presenting anonymous pages and copying or flipping them into the file's page cache later. I also prefer using the pages in rq_arg.pages, instead of pulling the data pages directly out of the rqstp::rq_pages array. This is currently the way the NFSv3 write decoder works, but the other two do not seem to take this approach. Fixing this removes the only reference to rq_pages found in NFSD, eliminating an NFSD assumption about how transports use the pages in rq_pages. Lastly, avoid setting up the first element of rq_vec as a zero- length buffer. This happens with an RDMA transport when a normal Read chunk is present because the data payload is in rq_arg's page list (none of it is in the head buffer).

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.
