Any chance this can be converted to splice, or use something else than
->sendfile()? CC'ed Neil.

sendfile useage in nfsd avoids a data copy and allows to use checksum
offloading. it's quite important for nfs server workloads.

OK, I hope Neil can provide some input on how to convert it. Of course
I'm just fishing for Neil to actually do that work :-)

Well, seeing you did that zero-length-barrier thing for me, how can I
complain :-)

I'll have a look in the morning.

Woo, thanks Neil :-)
