Why is this not:   "job->reply->reply_payload_rcv_len = len;"  ?





I have found that in case the user-space code specified a bigger response 
buffer size than len. i.e. when job->reply_payload.payload_len > len, it will 
consider the reply data is not fulfilled, and it hangs. The way I do is to 
allow receiving less data than expected.
If this is true, it's a bug. Given the other statements in your reply, you may 
need to test with the latest patch. See:

There was one patch on top of it
