The MAX_SEND_SGES check introduced in commit655fec6987("xprtrdma: Use gathered Send for large inline messages") fails for devices that have a small max_sge. Instead of checking for a large fixed maximum number of SGEs, check for a minimum small number. RPC-over-RDMA will switch to using a Read chunk if an xdr_buf has more pages than can fit in the device's max_sge limit. This is considerably better than failing all together to mount the server. This fix supports devices that have as few as three send SGEs available.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
