Subject: [PATCH 4.2 090/134] svcrdma: Change maximum server payload back to RPCSVC_MAXPAYLOAD

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@...cle.com>

commit cc9a903d915c21626b6b2fbf8ed0ff16a7f82210 upstream.

Both commit 0380a3f375 ("svcrdma: Add a separate "max data segs"
macro for svcrdma") and commit 7e5be28827bf ("svcrdma: advertise
the correct max payload") are incorrect. This commit reverts both
changes, restoring the server's maximum payload size to 1MB.

Commit 7e5be28827bf based the server's maximum payload on the
_client's_ RPCRDMA_MAX_DATA_SEGS value. That was wrong.

Commit 0380a3f375 tried to fix this so that the client maximum
payload size could be raised without affecting the server, but
managed to confuse matters more on the server side.

More importantly, limiting the advertised maximum payload size was
meant to be a workaround, not the actual fix. We need to revisit

  https://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270

A Linux client on a platform with 64KB pages can overrun and crash
an x86_64 NFS/RDMA server when the r/wsize is 1MB. An x86/64 Linux
client seems to work fine using 1MB reads and writes when the Linux
server's maximum payload size is restored to 1MB.
