If the reassembly queue is protected by a lock, why is an atomic_read() of
its length needed?

I am totally confused. What does RFC1002 framing have to do with
receiving an SMB Direct packet???

Is it really necessary to perform all these data copies, especially under the
reassembly_queue spinlock? This seems quite inefficient. Can the receive
buffers not be loaned out and chained logically?
