We now take a 2-step process that allows us to place data and hole segments directly at their final position in the xdr_stream without needing to do a bunch of redundant copies to expand holes. Due to the variable lengths of each segment, the xdr metadata might cross page boundaries which I account for by setting a small scratch buffer so xdr_inline_decode() won't fail.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
