[PATCH v12 43/49] sunrpc: Allow to demand-allocate pages to encode into

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>
Date: 2015-10-23 18:41:56
Also in: linux-cifs, linux-ext4, linux-fsdevel, linux-nfs, linux-xfs, lkml
Subsystem: kernel nfsd, sunrpc, and lockd servers, networking [general], nfs, sunrpc, and lockd clients, the rest · Maintainers: Chuck Lever, Jeff Layton, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Trond Myklebust, Anna Schumaker, Linus Torvalds

When encoding large, variable-length objects such as acls into xdr_bufs,
it is easier to allocate buffer pages on demand rather than precomputing
the required buffer size.
