From: Olga Kornievskaia <kolga@xxxxxxxxxx> Given the patch "Always provide aligned buffers to the RPC read layers", RPC over RDMA doesn't need to look at the tail page and add that space to the write chunk. For the RFC 8166 compliant server, it must not write an XDR padding into the write chunk (even if space was provided). Historically (before RFC 8166) Solaris RDMA server has been requiring the client to provide space for the XDR padding and thus this client code has existed.
