Two and a half years ago, the client was changed to use gathered Send for larger inline messages, in commit655fec6987("xprtrdma: Use gathered Send for large inline messages"). Several fixes were required because there are a few in-kernel device drivers whose max_sge is 3, and these were broken by the change. Apparently my memory is going, because some time later, I submitted commit25fd86eca1("svcrdma: Don't overrun the SGE array in svc_rdma_send_ctxt"), and after that, commitf3c1fd0ee2("svcrdma: Reduce max_send_sges"). These too incorrectly assumed in-kernel device drivers would have more than a few Send SGEs available. The fix for the server side is not the same. This is because the fundamental problem on the server is that, whether or not the client has provisioned a chunk for the RPC reply, the server must squeeze even the most complex RPC replies into a single RDMA Send. Failing in the send path because of Send SGE exhaustion should never be an option. Therefore, instead of failing when the send path runs out of SGEs, switch to using a bounce buffer mechanism to handle RPC replies that are too complex for the device to send directly. That allows us to remove the max_sge check to enable drivers with small max_sge to work again.

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.
