Have you checked that this occurs in a context where allocations are OK?
Checking very quickly through the callers I can't see any spinlocks or
anything, but I also don't see any other allocations.
Assuming this is just in rpciod context.... Trond's the authority, but
I think we generally try to avoid allocations here, or make them
GFP_NOFS if we must.
Would it be possible to allocate this array as part of the rpcrdma_req?
