    xprtrdma: No direct data placement with krb5i and krb5p · 65b80179

    Direct data placement is not allowed when using flavors that
    guarantee integrity or privacy. When such security flavors are in
    effect, don't allow the use of Read and Write chunks for moving
    individual data items. All messages larger than the inline threshold
    are sent via Long Call or Long Reply.
    
    On my systems (CX-3 Pro on FDR), for small I/O operations, the use
    of Long messages adds only around 5 usecs of latency in each
    direction.
    
    Note that when integrity or encryption is used, the host CPU touches
    every byte in these messages. Even if it could be used, data
    movement offload doesn't buy much in this case.
