[PATCH linux-next] xprtrdma: fix up the nfs/nfs-anna merge of the Write chunk head trim
From: Sasha Levin
Date: Tue Oct 20 2026 - 12:14:00 EST
Two fixes for the same Write chunk payload corruption meet in
linux-next. In the nfs tree, commit a0db57fee35e ("xprtrdma: Fix Write
chunk payload corruption on a short reply header") trims
head[0].iov_len in rpcrdma_decode_msg(). In the nfs-anna tree,
commit 9ee534a75912 ("xprtrdma: trim head iovec when the payload
arrives via a Write chunk") trims it in rpcrdma_inline_fixup() and
reduces buflen by the same amount.
The merge resolution keeps the caller-side trim. By the time
rpcrdma_inline_fixup() runs, head[0].iov_len already equals copy_len,
so the block added by the nfs-anna commit never runs and its buflen
reduction in rq_rcv_buf and rq_private_buf is lost. The helper is also
still passed xdr_pad_size(writelist), while its kernel-doc now
describes @writelist as the number of bytes conveyed by the Write
chunk.
Drop the caller-side trim and pass the full Write chunk length, so
that rpcrdma_inline_fixup() is the only place that trims head[0] and
reduces buflen. Compute the pad with xdr_pad_size() in the helper, so
the padding from the nfs commit stays correct for lengths that are not
a multiple of four. Its rpclen calculation and empty reply check stay
in rpcrdma_decode_msg().

Mark, this applies on top of next-20261020 and is meant to be folded into the
nfs-anna merge resolution.
Tim's reproducer passes with either resolution, since head[0] is trimmed in
both. The only behavioral difference is the buflen reduction. I found no reader
on the Write chunk READ decode path that uses the extra buflen, so this
restores the nfs-anna buflen change as reviewed rather than fixing an observed
failure.
Chuck, Anna, Trond: does this match what you want Linus to see? Neither tree
is in mainline yet, so whichever pull request goes second will hit this
conflict.
This comes from our llminus-assisted integration tree. Build tested with W=1
only; I have no RPC/RDMA setup to run it.
