Windows client can send multiple Buffer Descriptor V1 structure
elements to server.
ksmbd server doesn't support it yet. So it can handle only single element.
We have known that Windows sends multiple elements according to the
size of smb direct max read/write size. For Melanox adapters, 1MB
size, and Chelsea O, 512KB seems to be the threshold. I thought that
windows would send a single buffer descriptor element when setting the
adapter's max_fast_reg_page_list_len value to read/write size, but it
was not.
chelsio's max_fast_reg_page_list_len: 128
mellanox's max_fast_reg_page_list_len: 511
I don't know exactly what factor Windows client uses to send multiple
elements. Even in MS-SMB2, It is not described. So I am trying to set
the minimum read/write size until multiple elements handling is
supported.

Windows can send an array of one or more Buffer Descriptor V1
structures, i.e. multiple elements. Currently, ksmbd can handle only
one Buffer Descriptor V1 structure element.

If there's anything I've missed, please let me know.
