    [PATCH] knfsd: Replace two page lists in struct svc_rqst with one · 44524359

    We are planning to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from about 8 to about 256.  This
    means we need to be a bit careful about arrays of size RPCSVC_MAXPAGES.
    
    struct svc_rqst contains two such arrays.  However the there are never more
    that RPCSVC_MAXPAGES pages in the two arrays together, so only one array is
    needed.
    
    The two arrays are for the pages holding the request, and the pages holding
    the reply.  Instead of two arrays, we can simply keep an index into where the
    first reply page is.
    
    This patch also removes a number of small inline functions that probably
    server to obscure what is going on rather than clarify it, and opencode the
    needed functionality.
    
    Also remove the 'rq_restailpage' variable as it is *always* 0.  i.e.  if the
    response 'xdr' structure has a non-empty tail it is always in the same pages
    as the head.
    
     check counters are initilised and incr properly
     check for consistant usage of ++ etc
     maybe extra some inlines for common approach
     general review
