In this case, ULP with folio will not work well with current RXE after this commit is applied.

Why not? RDMA ULPs like the SRP initiator driver use ib_map_mr_sg(). The
latter function calls rxe_map_mr_sg() if the RXE driver is used. rxe_map_mr_sg() calls ib_sg_to_pages(). ib_sg_to_pages() translates
SG-entries that are larger than a virtual memory page into multiple
entries with size mr->page_size.

Thanks,

Bart.
