Chuck Lever 40088f0e9b xprtrdma: Add mechanism to place MRs back on the free list
When a marshal operation fails, any MRs that were already set up for
that request are recycled. Recycling releases MRs and creates new
ones, which is expensive.

Since commit f287762308 ("xprtrdma: Chain Send to FastReg WRs")
was merged, recycling FRWRs is unnecessary. This is because before
that commit, frwr_map had already posted FAST_REG Work Requests,
so ownership of the MRs had already been passed to the NIC and thus
dealing with them had to be delayed until they completed.

Since that commit, however, FAST_REG WRs are posted at the same time
as the Send WR. This means that if marshaling fails, we are certain
the MRs are safe to simply unmap and place back on the free list
because neither the Send nor the FAST_REG WRs have been posted yet.
The kernel still has ownership of the MRs at this point.

This reduces the total number of MRs that the xprt has to create
under heavy workloads and makes the marshaling logic less brittle.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
