Hi Anna, some general comments on the NFSD pieces:

- Doesn't READ have the same issue that the file bytes can't change
  until the Reply is fully sent? I would think the payload data
  can't change until there is no possibility of a transport-layer
  retransmit. Also, special restrictions like this should be
  documented via code comments, IMHO.

- David Howells might be interested in this approach, as he had some
  concerns about compressing files in place that would appear to
  apply also to READ_PLUS. Please copy David on the next round of
  these patches.

- Can you say why the READ_PLUS decoder and encoder operates on
  struct xdr_buf instead of struct xdr_stream? I'd prefer xdr_stream
  if you can. You could get rid of write_bytes_to_xdr_buf,
  xdr_encode_word and xdr_encode_double and use the stream-based
  helpers.

- Instead of using naked integers, please use multiples of XDR_UNIT.

The term "segment" is overloaded in general, and in particular
here. xdr_stream_move_subsegment() might be a less confusing
name for this helper.

However I don't immediately see a benefit from working with the
xdr_buf here. Can't you do these operations entirely with the
passed-in xdr_stream?
