Do you mean that svc_create_xprt(serv, "tcp-bc", ...) was used ONLY to call svc_tcp_prep_reply_hdr() in svc_process_common() ? And according call for rdma-bc does nothing useful at all? I've just tried to remove svc_create_xprt() from xs_tcp_bc_up() and just provide pointer to svc_tcp_prep_reply_hdr() in svc_process_common() via per-netns sunrpc_net -- and seems it was enough, my testcase worked correctly. Am I missed something probably? Should we really remove svc_create_xprt( "tcp/rdma-bc"...) related stuff? ?
