SUNRPC: Convert svc_xprt_release() to the release_pages() API
Instead of invoking put_page() one-at-a-time, pass the "response" portion of rq_pages directly to release_pages() to reduce the number of times each nfsd thread invokes a page allocator API. Since svc_xprt_release() is not invoked while a client is waiting for an RPC Reply, this is not expected to directly impact mean request latencies on a lightly or moderately loaded server. However as workload intensity increases, I expect somewhat better scalability: the same number of server threads should be able to handle more work.
