This function is not currently "generic" so remove the documenting comment and rename it appropriately. Its internals are converted to use bio_vecs for reading from the transport socket. In existing typical sunrpc uses of bio_vecs, the bio_vec array is allocated dynamically. Here, instead, an array of bio_vecs is added to svc_rqst. The lifetime of this array can be greater than one call to xpo_recvfrom(): - Multiple calls to xpo_recvfrom() might be needed to read an RPC message completely. - At some later point, rq_arg.bvecs will point to this array and it will carry the received message into svc_process(). I also expect that a future optimization will remove either the rq_vec or rq_pages array in favor of rq_bvec, thus conserving the size of struct svc_rqst.

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.
