I'm not sure I understand why this last one is a good idea.
Wouldn't that cause holes to appear in the file cached on
the client where there are no holes in the stored file on
the server?

Is there any encryption-related impact such as the issues
that David brought up during LSF/MM ?

"unsigned long" is not always 64 bits wide, and note that
rd_offset is declared as a u64. Thus ::offset and ::length
need to have explicit bit-width types. How about u64 for both?

The same type needs to be used wherever you do an

	unsigned long offset = read->rd_offset;

Nit: can this struct declaration use tab-formatting with the
usual naming convention for the fields, like "rp_type" and
"rp_offset"? That makes it easier to grep for places these
fields are used, since the current names are pretty generic.

IIUC this is reserving a maximum estimated size piece of the xdr_stream
to be used for encoding the READ_PLUS, and then the mechanics of
encoding the result can trim the message length down a bit. The missing
xdr_reserve_space calls are a little confusing, as are the operations on
the stream's xdr_buf rather than using xdr_stream operations, so it would
help to explain what's going on, perhaps as part of this comment.

Or, move all of this blathering to a kerneldoc comment in front of
nfsd4_encode_read_plus_segments()

Would xdr_pad_size() be appropriate here?

Throughout, can you use multiples of XDR_UNIT instead of naked integers?

Nit: try to use reverse christmas tree style where possible.

So you have to walk every page in the payload, byte-by-byte, to
sort out how to encode the READ_PLUS result? That's... unfortunate.
The whole idea of making the READ payload "opaque" is that XDR
doesn't have to touch those bytes; and then the payload is passed
to the network layer as pointers to pages for the same reason.

It might be helpful to get this reviewed by fsdevel and linux-mm
in case there's a better approach. Hugh was attempting to point
all zero pages at ZERO_PAGE at one point, for example, and that
would make it very quick to detect a range of zero bytes.

Another thought is to use a POSIX byte-range lock to prevent
changes to the range of the file you're encoding, while leaving
the rest of the file available for other operations. That way
you could continue to use llseek when that's supported.

The clean-ups in nfsd4_encode_read_plus() LGTM.
