NFS: support large reads and writes on the wire
Most NFS server implementations allow up to 64KB reads and writes on the
wire. The Solaris NFS server allows up to a megabyte, for instance.
Now the Linux NFS client supports transfer sizes up to 1MB, too. This will
help reduce protocol and context switch overhead on read/write intensive NFS
workloads, and support larger atomic read and write operations on servers
that support them.
Test-plan:
Connectathon and iozone on mount point with wsize=rsize>32768 over TCP.
Tests with NFS over UDP to verify the maximum RPC payload size cap.
