This patch attempts to fix > this. To start with, your len_in_head is in units of 32-bit _words_, whereas len, base, and req->rq_slen are in units of bytes. Then, 'len' is initialised to the length of the currently encoded part of the RPC header before subtracting 'len_in_head'. The resulting number is then used both as the length of the page array, and to extend the length of the req->rq_svec??? That makes absolutely no sense... Please check if the following patch fixes things for you.

In the case where we are inlining the acls, we need to adjust the length of the iovec req->rq_svec, in addition to adjusting the total buffer length.
