Set the timestamp on sk_buffs holding packets to be transmitted before
queueing them because the moment the packet is on the queue it can be seen
by the retransmission algorithm - which may see a completely random
timestamp.
If the retransmission algorithm sees such a timestamp, it may retransmit
the packet and, in future, tell the congestion management algorithm that
the retransmit timer expired.

We don't want to send a PING ACK for every new incoming call as that just
adds to the network traffic. Instead, we send a PING ACK to the first
three that we receive and then once per second thereafter.
This could probably be made adjustable in future.

Reduce the number of ACK-Requests we set on DATA packets that we're sending
to reduce network traffic. We set the flag on odd-numbered DATA packets to
start off the RTT cache until we have at least three entries in it and then
probe once per second thereafter to keep it topped up.
This could be made tunable in future.
Note that from this point, the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK flag is set on DATA
packets as we transmit them and not stored statically in the sk_buff.

In addition to sending a PING ACK to gain RTT data, we can set the
RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK flag on a DATA packet and get a REQUESTED-ACK ACK. The
ACK packet contains the serial number of the packet it is in response to,
so we can look through the Tx buffer for a matching DATA packet.
This requires that the data packets be stamped with the time of
transmission as a ktime rather than having the resend_at time in jiffies.
This further requires the resend code to do the resend determination in
ktimes and convert to jiffies to set the timer.

Expedite the transmission of a response to a PING ACK by sending it from
sendmsg if one is pending. We're most likely to see a PING ACK during the
client call Tx phase as the other side may use it to determine a number of
parameters, such as the client's receive window size, the RTT and whether
the client is doing slow start (similar to RFC5681).
If we don't expedite it, it's left to the background processing thread to
transmit.

Send a PING ACK packet to the peer when we get a new incoming call from a
peer we don't have a record for. The PING RESPONSE ACK packet will tell us
the following about the peer:
(1) its receive window size
(2) its MTU sizes
(3) its support for jumbo DATA packets
(4) if it supports slow start (similar to RFC 5681)
(5) an estimate of the RTT
This is necessary because the peer won't normally send us an ACK until it
gets to the Rx phase and we send it a packet, but we would like to know
some of this information before we start sending packets.
A pair of tracepoints are added so that RTT determination can be observed.

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.

Don't store the rxrpc protocol header in sk_buffs on the transmit queue,
but rather generate it on the fly and pass it to kernel_sendmsg() as a
separate iov. This reduces the amount of storage required.
Note that the security header is still stored in the sk_buff as it may get
encrypted along with the data (and doesn't change with each transmission).

Improve sk_buff tracing within AF_RXRPC by the following means:
(1) Use an enum to note the event type rather than plain integers and use
an array of event names rather than a big multi ?: list.
(2) Distinguish Rx from Tx packets and account them separately. This
requires the call phase to be tracked so that we know what we might
find in rxtx_buffer[].
(3) Add a parameter to rxrpc_{new,see,get,free}_skb() to indicate the
event type.
(4) A pair of 'rotate' events are added to indicate packets that are about
to be rotated out of the Rx and Tx windows.
(5) A pair of 'lost' events are added, along with rxrpc_lose_skb() for
packet loss injection recording.

Fix the basic transmit DATA packet content size at 1412 bytes so that they
can be arbitrarily assembled into jumbo packets.
In the future, I'm thinking of moving to keeping a jumbo packet header at
the beginning of each packet in the Tx queue and creating the packet header
on the spot when kernel_sendmsg() is invoked. That way, jumbo packets can
be assembled on the spur of the moment for (re-)transmission.

Make the retransmission algorithm use for-loops instead of do-loops and
move the counter increments into the for-statement increment slots.
Though the do-loops are slighly more efficient since there will be at least
one pass through the each loop, the counter increments are harder to get
right as the continue-statements skip them.
Without this, if there are any positive acks within the loop, the do-loop
will cycle forever because the counter increment is never done.

The soft-ACK parser doesn't increment the pointer into the soft-ACK list,
resulting in the first ACK/NACK value being applied to all the relevant

If the last call on a client connection is release after the connection has
had a bunch of calls allocated but before any DATA packets are sent (so
that it's not yet marked RXRPC_CONN_EXPOSED), an assertion will happen in
rxrpc_disconnect_client_call().
af_rxrpc: Assertion failed - 1(0x1) >= 2(0x2) is false
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at ../net/rxrpc/conn_client.c:753!
This is because it's expecting the conn to have been exposed and to have 2
or more refs - but this isn't necessarily the case.
Simply remove the assertion. This allows the conn to be moved into the
inactive state and deleted if it isn't resurrected before the final put is
called.

Call rxrpc_release_call() on getting an error in rxrpc_new_client_call()
rather than trying to do the cleanup ourselves. This isn't a problem,
provided we set RXRPC_CALL_HAS_USERID only if we actually add the call to
the calls tree as cleanup code fragments that would otherwise cause
problems are conditional.
Without this, we miss some of the cleanup.

In rxrpc_put_one_client_conn(), if a connection has RXRPC_CONN_COUNTED set
on it, then it's accounted for in rxrpc_nr_client_conns and may be on
various lists - and this is cleaned up correctly.
However, if the connection doesn't have RXRPC_CONN_COUNTED set on it, then
the put routine returns rather than just skipping the extra bit of cleanup.
Fix this by making the extra bit of clean up conditional instead and always
killing off the connection.
This manifests itself as connections with a zero usage count hanging around
in /proc/net/rxrpc_conns because the connection allocated, but discarded,
due to a race with another process that set up a parallel connection, which
was then shared instead.

The code for determining the last packet in rxrpc_recvmsg_data() has been
using the RXRPC_CALL_RX_LAST flag to determine if the rx_top pointer points
to the last packet or not. This isn't a good idea, however, as the input
code may be running simultaneously on another CPU and that sets the flag
*before* updating the top pointer.
Fix this by the following means:
(1) Restrict the use of RXRPC_CALL_RX_LAST to the input routines only.
There's otherwise a synchronisation problem between detecting the flag
and checking tx_top. This could probably be dealt with by appropriate
application of memory barriers, but there's a simpler way.
(2) Set RXRPC_CALL_RX_LAST after setting rx_top.
(3) Make rxrpc_rotate_rx_window() consult the flags header field of the
DATA packet it's about to discard to see if that was the last packet.
Use this as the basis for ending the Rx phase. This shouldn't be a
problem because the recvmsg side of things is guaranteed to see the
packets in order.
(4) Make rxrpc_recvmsg_data() return 1 to indicate the end of the data if:
(a) the packet it has just processed is marked as RXRPC_LAST_PACKET
(b) the call's Rx phase has been ended.

service = socket(AF_RXRPC, SOCK_DGRAM, PF_INET6);
instead of:

The AFS filesystem doesn't support IPv6 at the moment, though, since that
requires upgrades to some of the RPC calls.

call->rx_winsize should be initialised to the sysctl setting and the sysctl
setting should be limited to the maximum we want to permit. Further, we
need to place this in the ACK info instead of the sysctl setting.
Furthermore, discard the idea of accepting the subpackets of a jumbo packet
that lie beyond the receive window when the first packet of the jumbo is
within the window. Just discard the excess subpackets instead. This
allows the receive window to be opened up right to the buffer size less one
for the dead slot.

The preallocated call buffer holds a ref on the calls within that buffer.
The ref was being released in the wrong place - it worked okay for incoming
calls to the AFS cache manager service, but doesn't work right for incoming
calls to a userspace service.
Instead of releasing an extra ref service calls in rxrpc_release_call(),
the ref needs to be released during the acceptance/rejectance process. To
this end:
(1) The prealloc ref is now normally released during
rxrpc_new_incoming_call().
(2) For preallocated kernel API calls, the kernel API's ref needs to be
released when the call is discarded on socket close.
(3) We shouldn't take a second ref in rxrpc_accept_call().
(4) rxrpc_recvmsg_new_call() needs to get a ref of its own when it adds
the call to the to_be_accepted socket queue.
In doing (4) above, we would prefer not to put the call's refcount down to
0 as that entails doing cleanup in softirq context, but it's unlikely as
there are several refs held elsewhere, at least one of which must be put by
someone in process context calling rxrpc_release_call(). However, it's not
a problem if we do have to do that.

rxrpc_recvmsg() needs to make sure that the call it has just been
processing gets requeued for further attention if the buffer has been
filled and there's more data to be consumed. The softirq producer only
queues the call and wakes the socket if it fills the first slot in the
window, so userspace might end up sleeping forever otherwise, despite there
being data available.
This is not a problem provided the userspace buffer is big enough or it
empties the buffer completely before more data comes in.

Rewrite the data and ack handling code such that:
(1) Parsing of received ACK and ABORT packets and the distribution and the
filing of DATA packets happens entirely within the data_ready context
called from the UDP socket. This allows us to process and discard ACK
and ABORT packets much more quickly (they're no longer stashed on a
queue for a background thread to process).
(2) We avoid calling skb_clone(), pskb_pull() and pskb_trim(). We instead
keep track of the offset and length of the content of each packet in
the sk_buff metadata. This means we don't do any allocation in the
receive path.
(3) Jumbo DATA packet parsing is now done in data_ready context. Rather
than cloning the packet once for each subpacket and pulling/trimming
it, we file the packet multiple times with an annotation for each
indicating which subpacket is there. From that we can directly
calculate the offset and length.
(4) A call's receive queue can be accessed without taking locks (memory
barriers do have to be used, though).
(5) Incoming calls are set up from preallocated resources and immediately
made live. They can than have packets queued upon them and ACKs
generated. If insufficient resources exist, DATA packet #1 is given a
BUSY reply and other DATA packets are discarded).
(6) sk_buffs no longer take a ref on their parent call.
To make this work, the following changes are made:
(1) Each call's receive buffer is now a circular buffer of sk_buff
pointers (rxtx_buffer) rather than a number of sk_buff_heads spread
between the call and the socket. This permits each sk_buff to be in
the buffer multiple times. The receive buffer is reused for the
transmit buffer.
(2) A circular buffer of annotations (rxtx_annotations) is kept parallel
to the data buffer. Transmission phase annotations indicate whether a
buffered packet has been ACK'd or not and whether it needs
retransmission.
Receive phase annotations indicate whether a slot holds a whole packet
or a jumbo subpacket and, if the latter, which subpacket. They also
note whether the packet has been decrypted in place.
(3) DATA packet window tracking is much simplified. Each phase has just
two numbers representing the window (rx_hard_ack/rx_top and
tx_hard_ack/tx_top).
The hard_ack number is the sequence number before base of the window,
representing the last packet the other side says it has consumed.
hard_ack starts from 0 and the first packet is sequence number 1.
The top number is the sequence number of the highest-numbered packet
residing in the buffer. Packets between hard_ack+1 and top are
soft-ACK'd to indicate they've been received, but not yet consumed.
Four macros, before(), before_eq(), after() and after_eq() are added
to compare sequence numbers within the window. This allows for the
top of the window to wrap when the hard-ack sequence number gets close
to the limit.
Two flags, RXRPC_CALL_RX_LAST and RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST, are added also
to indicate when rx_top and tx_top point at the packets with the
LAST_PACKET bit set, indicating the end of the phase.
(4) Calls are queued on the socket 'receive queue' rather than packets.
This means that we don't need have to invent dummy packets to queue to
indicate abnormal/terminal states and we don't have to keep metadata
packets (such as ABORTs) around
(5) The offset and length of a (sub)packet's content are now passed to
the verify_packet security op. This is currently expected to decrypt
the packet in place and validate it.
However, there's now nowhere to store the revised offset and length of
the actual data within the decrypted blob (there may be a header and
padding to skip) because an sk_buff may represent multiple packets, so
a locate_data security op is added to retrieve these details from the
sk_buff content when needed.
(6) recvmsg() now has to handle jumbo subpackets, where each subpacket is
individually secured and needs to be individually decrypted. The code
to do this is broken out into rxrpc_recvmsg_data() and shared with the
kernel API. It now iterates over the call's receive buffer rather
than walking the socket receive queue.
Additional changes:
(1) The timers are condensed to a single timer that is set for the soonest
of three timeouts (delayed ACK generation, DATA retransmission and
call lifespan).
(2) Transmission of ACK and ABORT packets is effected immediately from
process-context socket ops/kernel API calls that cause them instead of
them being punted off to a background work item. The data_ready
handler still has to defer to the background, though.
(3) A shutdown op is added to the AF_RXRPC socket so that the AFS
filesystem can shut down the socket and flush its own work items
before closing the socket to deal with any in-progress service calls.
Future additional changes that will need to be considered:
(1) Make sure that a call doesn't hog the front of the queue by receiving
data from the network as fast as userspace is consuming it to the
exclusion of other calls.
(2) Transmit delayed ACKs from within recvmsg() when we've consumed
sufficiently more packets to avoid the background work item needing to
run.
