    Description

      LU-8515 modified osc_makes_rpc to remove a check which sent RPCs once the total number of pages == max_pages_per_rpc.  This fixed an issue with > 1 writer per stripe where smaller, fragmented RPCs would be sent instead of full size RPCs.

      However, it introduced a different issue with small random writes, particularly when sparse.  Because small random writes will (in the large file/sparse case) not make complete, contiguous extents, no RPCs will be sent until the max_dirty_mb or grant limit is hit.

      This means that in the small-random-sparse write case not enough RPCs will be sent.

      The solution is to add an additional check for greater than max_pages_per_rpc pages.  Details in patch.
