Introduce a function rqst_page_get_length to return the page offset
and length for a given page in smb_rqst. This function is to be used
by following patches.

Really? Page 0 always has a zero offset??

I think you are misreading this line. The offset for page 0 is rq_offset, the offset for all subsequent pages are 0.

Ah, yes, sorry I did read it incorrectly.

This subroutine does what patch 5 does inline. Why not push this patch up in
the sequence and use the helper?

This is actually a little different. This function returns the length and offset for a given page in the request. There might be multiple pages in a request.

Ok, but I still think there is quite a bit of inline computation of
this stuff that would more clearly and more robustly be done in a set
of common functions. If someone ever touches the code to support a
new upper layer, or even integrate with more complex compounding,
things will get ugly fast.

The other function calculates the total length of all the pages in a request.

Again, a great candidate for a common set of subroutines, IMO.
