Subject: [PATCH 2/3] virtiofs: split requests that exceed virtqueue size
Date:   Thu, 18 Mar 2021 08:52:22 -0500

If an incoming FUSE request can't fit on the virtqueue, the request is
placed onto a workqueue so a worker can try to resubmit it later where
there will (hopefully) be space for it next time.

This is fine for requests that aren't larger than a virtqueue's maximum
capacity. However, if a request's size exceeds the maximum capacity of
the virtqueue (even if the virtqueue is empty), it will be doomed to a
life of being placed on the workqueue, removed, discovered it won't fit,
and placed on the workqueue yet again.

Furthermore, from section 2.6.5.3.1 (Driver Requirements: Indirect
Descriptors) of the virtio spec:

  "A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor chain longer than the Queue
  Size of the device."

To fix this, limit the number of pages FUSE will use for an overall
request. This way, each request can realistically fit on the virtqueue
when it is decomposed into a scattergather list and avoid violating
section 2.6.5.3.1 of the virtio spec.
