There has to be a limit based on rsize/wsize constraints, page size, client memory registration mode, the maximum size of transport headers, and so on. "Implementations have practical limits" means implementers get to choose to support only a certain number of segments or chunks to keep their implementations as simple as possible. The choice of the limit is based on the features they want their implementation to support. The protocol specification doesn't define a limit. It's OK that the protocol doesn't define a limit. The problem is there's no way for a client and server to discover the other's actual limits. Since we're documenting the protocol here, not defining it, we're stuck with that for the moment. We could do something clever like add these limits to the RDMA CM private data. > There are cases where a solaris client can send up to 16 segments in one write chunk. WOuld that be considered under the "practical limit"? No, that would _be_ the practical limit for your client. For example, the Linux server has a limit of about 260 segments, because it supports 1MB NFS READs and WRITEs, and 256 pages (plus a few to accommodate non-aligned payloads) is needed with 4KB pages. The Linux server has a limit of 1 normal Read chunk or 1 Position-zero Read chunk. That's totally arbitrary, and was an implementation choice based on what the Linux client of 2008 might send. Clearly, the Linux server will need to be improved to support more general clients like Solaris. -- Chuck Lever
