Read and write sizes of up to 8MB could be beneficial for NFS/RDMA. The issue is the size of the rq_pages array. As folios are integrated into the kernel, it might be time to consider replacing that array so that we can easily expand the maximum I/O size supported by NFSD.
The most frequently-requested maximum size is 8MB for Read and Write. This would also impact the values returned for maximum request and response sizes when creating an NFSv4.1 session.
