4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 24abdf1be15c478e2821d6fc903a4a4440beff02 upstream. When pad optimization is disabled, rpcrdma_convert_iovs still does not add explicit XDR round-up padding to a Read chunk. Commit 677eb17e94ed ("xprtrdma: Fix XDR tail buffer marshalling") incorrectly short-circuited the test for whether round-up padding is needed that appears later in rpcrdma_convert_iovs. However, if this is indeed a regular Read chunk (and not a Position-Zero Read chunk), the tail iovec _always_ contains the chunk's padding, and never anything else. So, it's easy to just skip the tail when padding optimization is enabled, and add the tail in a subsequent Read chunk segment, if disabled.
