tsh_size was added to accommodate transports that send a pre-amble
before each RPC message. However, this assumes the pre-amble is
fixed in size, which isn't true for some transports. That makes
tsh_size not very generic.
Also I'd like to make the estimation of RPC send and receive
buffer sizes more precise. tsh_size doesn't currently appear to be
accounted for at all by call_allocate.
Therefore let's just remove the tsh_size concept, and make the only
transports that have a non-zero tsh_size employ a direct approach.

I've taken an approach where only the transports that need a record
marker need to pay the expense. I don't want to add another indirect
call in the generic path.
However, I've found that during heavy multi-threaded workloads,
occasionally this mechanism inserts a record marker in the middle of
a Call message.

The test needs to use transport->xmit.offset, not req->rq_bytes_sent
You also need to update transport->xmit.offset on success, and be
prepared to handle the case where < sizeof(marker) bytes get
transmitted due to a write_space condition.

So what does this do for performance? I'd expect that adding another
dive into the socket layer will come with penalties.

OK, that seems to work better.

That causes the first 4 bytes of the rq_snd_buf to not be sent.
Not updating xmit.offset seems more correct.

Probably the only recourse is to break the connection.

On this workload, yes.
Could send the record marker in xs_send_kvec with the head[0] iovec.
I'm going to try that next.

Interesting... Perhaps we might be able to eke out a few more percent
performance on file writes by also converting xs_send_pagedata() to use
a single sock_sendmsg() w/ iov_iter rather than looping through several
calls to sendpage()?

IMO...
For small requests (say, smaller than 17 pages), packing the head, pagevec,
and tail into an iov_iter and sending them all via a single sock_sendmsg
call would likely be efficient.
For larger requests, other overheads would dominate. And you'd have
to keep around an iter array that held 257 entries... You could pass a
large pagevec to sock_sendmsg in smaller chunks.
Are you thinking of converting xs_sendpages (or even xdr_bufs) to use
iov_iter directly?

For now, I was thinking of just converting xs_sendpages to call
xdr_alloc_bvec(), and then do the equivalent of what xs_read_bvec()
does for receives today.
The next step is to convert xdr_bufs to use bvecs natively instead of
having to allocate them to shadow the array of pages. I believe someone
was working on allowing a single bvec to take an array of pages
(containing contiguous data), which would make that conversion almost
trivial.
The final step would be to do as you say, to pack the kvecs into the
same call to sock_sendmsg() as the bvecs. We might imagine adding a new
type of iov_iter that can iterate over an array of struct iov_iter in
order to deal with this case?

The same approach might help svc_send_common, and could be an easier
first step.
