Reflect the more conservative approach used in the socket transport's version of this transport method. An RPC buffer allocation should avoid forcing not just FS activity, but any I/O. In particular, two recent changes missed updating xprtrdma: - Commit c6c8fe79a83e ("net, sunrpc: suppress allocation warning ...") - Commit a564b8f03986 ("nfs: enable swap on NFS") Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> --- net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/transport.c | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Hi Anna- Could you append this after my recent NFS/RDMA client patches for 3.20 ?
