rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout

2020-05-27T15:46:48+00:00

commit c410bf01933e5e09d142c66c3df9ad470a7eec13 upstream. rxrpc currently uses a fixed 4s retransmission timeout until the RTT is sufficiently sampled. This can cause problems with some fileservers with calls to the cache manager in the afs filesystem being dropped from the fileserver because a packet goes missing and the retransmission timeout is greater than the call expiry timeout. Fix this by: (1) Copying the RTT/RTO calculation code from Linux's TCP implementation and altering it to fit rxrpc. (2) Altering the various users of the RTT to make use of the new SRTT value. (3) Replacing the use of rxrpc_resend_timeout to use the calculated RTO value instead (which is needed in jiffies), along with a backoff. Notes: (1) rxrpc provides RTT samples by matching the serial numbers on outgoing DATA packets that have the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK set and PING ACK packets against the reference serial number in incoming REQUESTED ACK and PING-RESPONSE ACK packets. (2) Each packet that is transmitted on an rxrpc connection gets a new per-connection serial number, even for retransmissions, so an ACK can be cross-referenced to a specific trigger packet. This allows RTT information to be drawn from retransmitted DATA packets also. (3) rxrpc maintains the RTT/RTO state on the rxrpc_peer record rather than on an rxrpc_call because many RPC calls won't live long enough to generate more than one sample. (4) The calculated SRTT value is in units of 8ths of a microsecond rather than nanoseconds. The (S)RTT and RTO values are displayed in /proc/net/rxrpc/peers.

rxrpc: Fix call interruptibility handling

2020-04-17T08:49:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit e138aa7d3271ac1b0690ae2c9b04d51468dce1d6 ] Fix the interruptibility of kernel-initiated client calls so that they're either only interruptible when they're waiting for a call slot to come available or they're not interruptible at all. Either way, they're not interruptible during transmission. This should help prevent StoreData calls from being interrupted when writeback is in progress. It doesn't, however, handle interruption during the receive phase. Userspace-initiated calls are still interruptable. After the signal has been handled, sendmsg() will return the amount of data copied out of the buffer and userspace can perform another sendmsg() call to continue transmission.

afs: Fix client call Rx-phase signal handling

2020-04-01T09:02:07+00:00

commit 7d7587db0d7fd1138f2afcffdc46a8e15630b944 upstream. Fix the handling of signals in client rxrpc calls made by the afs filesystem. Ignore signals completely, leaving call abandonment or connection loss to be detected by timeouts inside AF_RXRPC. Allowing a filesystem call to be interrupted after the entire request has been transmitted and an abort sent means that the server may or may not have done the action - and we don't know. It may even be worse than that for older servers.

rxrpc: Allow the kernel to mark a call as being non-interruptible

2019-05-16T15:25:20+00:00

Allow kernel services using AF_RXRPC to indicate that a call should be non-interruptible. This allows kafs to make things like lock-extension and writeback data storage calls non-interruptible. If this is set, signals will be ignored for operations on that call where possible - such as waiting to get a call channel on an rxrpc connection. It doesn't prevent UDP sendmsg from being interrupted, but that will be handled by packet retransmission. rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() isn't affected by this since that never waits, preferring instead to return -EAGAIN and leave the waiting to the caller. Userspace initiated calls can't be set to be uninterruptible at this time. Signed-off-by: David Howells

Revert "rxrpc: Allow failed client calls to be retried"

2019-01-16T05:33:36+00:00

The changes introduced to allow rxrpc calls to be retried creates an issue when it comes to refcounting afs_call structs. The problem is that when rxrpc_send_data() queues the last packet for an asynchronous call, the following sequence can occur: (1) The notify_end_tx callback is invoked which causes the state in the afs_call to be changed from AFS_CALL_CL_REQUESTING or AFS_CALL_SV_REPLYING. (2) afs_deliver_to_call() can then process event notifications from rxrpc on the async_work queue. (3) Delivery of events, such as an abort from the server, can cause the afs_call state to be changed to AFS_CALL_COMPLETE on async_work. (4) For an asynchronous call, afs_process_async_call() notes that the call is complete and tried to clean up all the refs on async_work. (5) rxrpc_send_data() might return the amount of data transferred (success) or an error - which could in turn reflect a local error or a received error. Synchronising the clean up after rxrpc_kernel_send_data() returns an error with the asynchronous cleanup is then tricky to get right. Mostly revert commit c038a58ccfd6704d4d7d60ed3d6a0fca13cf13a4. The two API functions the original commit added aren't currently used. This makes rxrpc_kernel_send_data() always return successfully if it queued the data it was given. Note that this doesn't affect synchronous calls since their Rx notification function merely pokes a wait queue and does not refcounting. The asynchronous call notification function *has* to do refcounting and pass a ref over the work item to avoid the need to sync the workqueue in call cleanup.

rxrpc: Fix life check

2018-11-15T19:35:40+00:00

The life-checking function, which is used by kAFS to make sure that a call is still live in the event of a pending signal, only samples the received packet serial number counter; it doesn't actually provoke a change in the counter, rather relying on the server to happen to give us a packet in the time window. Fix this by adding a function to force a ping to be transmitted. kAFS then keeps track of whether there's been a stall, and if so, uses the new function to ping the server, resetting the timeout to allow the reply to come back. If there's a stall, a ping and the call is *still* stalled in the same place after another period, then the call will be aborted.

rxrpc: Allow the reply time to be obtained on a client call

2018-10-04T08:54:29+00:00

Allow the epoch value to be queried on a server connection. This is in the rxrpc header of every packet for use in routing and is derived from the client's state. It's also not supposed to change unless the client gets restarted. AFS can make use of this information to deduce whether a fileserver has been restarted because the fileserver makes client calls to the filesystem driver's cache manager to send notifications (ie. callback breaks) about conflicting changes from other clients. These convey the fileserver's own epoch value back to the filesystem. Signed-off-by: David Howells
