rxrpc: Keep the call timeouts as ktimes rather than jiffies

2016-09-30T13:40:11+00:00

Keep that call timeouts as ktimes rather than jiffies so that they can be expressed as functions of RTT. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Actually display the tx_data trace retransmission note

2016-09-30T07:51:14+00:00

Actually display in the tx_data trace the retransmission note added in a previous patch. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Make Tx loss-injection go through normal return and adjust tracing

2016-09-29T21:37:15+00:00

In rxrpc_send_data_packet() make the loss-injection path return through the same code as the transmission path so that the RTT determination is initiated and any future timer shuffling will be done, despite the packet having been binned. Whilst we're at it: (1) Add to the tx_data tracepoint an indication of whether or not we're retransmitting a data packet. (2) When we're deciding whether or not to request an ACK, rather than checking if we're in fast-retransmit mode check instead if we're retransmitting. (3) Don't invoke the lose_skb tracepoint when losing a Tx packet as we're not altering the sk_buff refcount nor are we just seeing it after getting it off the Tx list. (4) The rxrpc_skb_tx_lost note is then no longer used so remove it. (5) rxrpc_lose_skb() no longer needs to deal with rxrpc_skb_tx_lost. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Implement slow-start

2016-09-24T22:49:46+00:00

Implement RxRPC slow-start, which is similar to RFC 5681 for TCP. A tracepoint is added to log the state of the congestion management algorithm and the decisions it makes. Notes: (1) Since we send fixed-size DATA packets (apart from the final packet in each phase), counters and calculations are in terms of packets rather than bytes. (2) The ACK packet carries the equivalent of TCP SACK. (3) The FLIGHT_SIZE calculation in RFC 5681 doesn't seem particularly suited to SACK of a small number of packets. It seems that, almost inevitably, by the time three 'duplicate' ACKs have been seen, we have narrowed the loss down to one or two missing packets, and the FLIGHT_SIZE calculation ends up as 2. (4) In rxrpc_resend(), if there was no data that apparently needed retransmission, we transmit a PING ACK to ask the peer to tell us what its Rx window state is. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Add a tracepoint to log which packets will be retransmitted

2016-09-23T14:49:19+00:00

Add a tracepoint to log in rxrpc_resend() which packets will be retransmitted. Note that if a positive ACK comes in whilst we have dropped the lock to retransmit another packet, the actual retransmission may not happen, though some of the effects will (such as altering the congestion management).

rxrpc: Add tracepoint for ACK proposal

2016-09-23T14:49:19+00:00

Add a tracepoint to log proposed ACKs, including whether the proposal is used to update a pending ACK or is discarded in favour of an easlier, higher priority ACK. Whilst we're at it, get rid of the rxrpc_acks() function and access the name array directly. We do, however, need to validate the ACK reason number given to trace_rxrpc_rx_ack() to make sure we don't overrun the array. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Add a tracepoint to log injected Rx packet loss

2016-09-23T14:49:19+00:00

Add a tracepoint to log received packets that get discarded due to Rx packet loss. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Add data Tx tracepoint and adjust Tx ACK tracepoint

2016-09-23T14:49:19+00:00

Add a tracepoint to log transmission of DATA packets (including loss injection). Adjust the ACK transmission tracepoint to include the packet serial number and to line this up with the DATA transmission display. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Add a tracepoint for the call timer

2016-09-23T14:49:19+00:00

Add a tracepoint to log call timer initiation, setting and expiry. Signed-off-by: David Howells

rxrpc: Add per-peer RTT tracker

2016-09-22T00:26:25+00:00

Add a function to track the average RTT for a peer. Sources of RTT data will be added in subsequent patches. The RTT data will be useful in the future for determining resend timeouts and for handling the slow-start part of the Rx protocol. Also add a pair of tracepoints, one to log transmissions to elicit a response for RTT purposes and one to log responses that contribute RTT data. Signed-off-by: David Howells
