NFS: Eliminate nfs_get_user_pages()
Neil Brown observed that the kmalloc() in nfs_get_user_pages() is more likely to fail if the I/O is large enough to require the allocation of more than a single page to keep track of all the pinned pages in the user's buffer. Instead of tracking one large page array per dreq/iocb, track pages per nfs_read/write_data, just like the cached I/O path does. An array for pages is already allocated for us by nfs_readdata_alloc() (and the write and commit equivalents). This is also required for adding support for vectored I/O to the NFS direct I/O path. The original reason to pin the user buffer and allocate all the NFS data structures before trying to schedule I/O was to ensure all needed resources are allocated on the client before starting to send requests. This reduces the chance that resource exhaustion on the client will cause a short read or write. On the other hand, for an application making very large application I/O requests, this means that it will be nearly impossible for the application to make forward progress on a resource-limited client. Thus, moving the buffer pinning functionality into the I/O scheduling loops should be good for scalability. The next patch will do the same for NFS data structure allocation.
