Is this the sort of thing? I wasn't sure where best to put the
destructor data structure to get the right lifecycle and ended up
putting it in the struct rpc_rqst and initialising it at
xprt_request_init time.
I changed everywhere which currently transitions to rpc_exit_task to
transition to a new "call_complete" task, blocking on the pending wait
queue. The SKB destructor wakes that queue and call_complete then
transitions to rpc_exit_task.
Several of the locations already block on that wait queue so I simply
remove the wake up in those cases (since it will happen in the SKB frag
destructor). Since we call unref at these points (to drop the initial
refcount) in the common case we will be woken from the pending wait
queue before we even sleep on it.
Thanks,
Ian.

Subject: [PATCH] sunrpc: use SKB fragment destructors to delay completion until page is released by network stack.
This prevents an issue where an ACK is delayed, a retransmit is queued (either
at the RPC or TCP level) and the ACK arrives before the retransmission hits the
wire. If this happens to an NFS WRITE RPC then the write() system call
completes and the userspace process can continue, potentially modifying data
referenced by the retransmission before the retransmission occurs.
