Send buffer space is shared between the RPC-over-RDMA header and an RPC message. A large RPC-over-RDMA header means less space is available for the associated RPC message, which then has to be moved via an RDMA Read or Write. As more segments are added to the chunk lists, the header increases in size. Typical modern hardware needs only a few segments to convey the maximum payload size, but some devices and registration modes may need a lot of segments to convey data payload. Sometimes so many are needed that the remaining space in the Send buffer is not enough for the RPC message. Sending such a message usually fails. To ensure a transport can always make forward progress, cap the number of RDMA segments that are allowed in chunk lists. This prevents less-capable devices and memory registrations from consuming a large portion of the Send buffer by reducing the maximum data payload that can be conveyed with such devices. For now I choose an arbitrary maximum of 8 RDMA segments. This allows a maximum size RPC-over-RDMA header to fit nicely in the current 1024 byte inline threshold with over 700 bytes remaining for an inline RPC message. The current maximum data payload of NFS READ or WRITE requests is one megabyte. To convey that payload on a client with 4KB pages, each chunk segment would need to handle 32 or more data pages. This is well within the capabilities of FMR. For physical registration, the maximum payload size on platforms with 4KB pages is reduced to 32KB. For FRWR, a device's maximum page list depth would need to be at least 34 to support the maximum 1MB payload. A device with a smaller maximum page list depth means the maximum data payload is reduced when using that device.
