Will change this to non-atomic.

The upper layer expects RFC1002 length at the beginning of the payload. A lot of protocol processing logic check and act on this value. Returning this value will avoid changes to lots of other upper layer code.

This will be eventually fixed when a transport layer is added to upper layer code. I recommend we do it in another patch.

This will require upper layer code changes to move to use new buffers allocated/loaned this way, and also deal with packet boundaries.

This code is not used to actually carry file data, which are normally done through RDMA read/write.

If we want to do it, I suggest do another patch since more changes other than transport are involved.
