 /*
- * Calculate the total amount of memory that the compound response has taken
- * after encoding the current operation with pad.
+ * Calculate whether we still have space to encode repsize bytes.
+ * There are two considerations:
+ *     - For NFS versions >=4.1, the size of the reply must stay within
+ *       session limits
+ *     - For all NFS versions, we must stay within limited preallocated
+ *       buffer space.
  *
- * pad: if operation is non-idempotent, pad was calculate by op_rsize_bop()
- *      which was specified at nfsd4_operation, else pad is zero.
- *
- * Compare this length to the session se_fmaxresp_sz and se_fmaxresp_cached.
- *
- * Our se_fmaxresp_cached will always be a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, and so
- * will be at least a page and will therefore hold the xdr_buf head.
+ * This is called before the operation is processed, so can only provide
+ * an upper estimate.  For some nonidempotent operations (such as
+ * getattr), it's not necessarily a problem if that estimate is wrong,
+ * as we can fail it after processing without significant side effects.
