Trond Myklebust:
- If an RPC request has to be resent due to a timeout, it turns
out that call_encode() may cause rq_rcv_buf to be reset despite the
fact that a reply might be delivered at any moment by a
softirq. - If xdr_kmap() fails, we need to ensure that it unmaps all the
pages, and returns 0. We don’t want to be sending partial RPC
requests to the server.
