I think you said that readdir reads via the vmalloc mapping of the
group of pages, but XDR writes to the individual pages.

As I understand NFS, you receive a packet, you then have to use XDR
to unpack the data, which you presumably write into the set of
struct page *'s using kmap?

Isn't a solution to have XDR write directly into the vmalloc mapping
rather than using struct page * and kmap?
