Chuck Lever eae03e2ac8 nfsd: Incoming xdr_bufs may have content in tail buffer
Since the beginning, svcsock has built a received RPC Call message
by populating the xdr_buf's head, then placing the remaining
message bytes in the xdr_buf's page list. The xdr_buf's tail is
never populated.

This means that an NFSv4 COMPOUND containing an NFS WRITE operation
plus trailing operations has a page list that contains the WRITE
data payload followed by the trailing operations. NFSv4 XDR decoders
will not look in the xdr_buf's tail, ever, because svcsock never put
anything there.

To support transports that can pass the write payload in the
xdr_buf's pagelist and trailing content in the xdr_buf's tail,
introduce logic in READ_BUF that switches to the xdr_buf's tail vec
when the decoder runs out of content in rq_arg.pages.

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.
