Don't request an ACK on the last DATA packet of a call's Tx phase as for a
client there will be a reply packet or some sort of ACK to shift phase. If
the ACK is requested, OpenAFS sends a REQUESTED-ACK ACK with soft-ACKs in
it and doesn't follow up with a hard-ACK.
If we don't set the flag, OpenAFS will send a DELAY ACK that hard-ACKs the
reply data, thereby allowing the call to terminate cleanly.
Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
We need to generate a DELAY ACK from the service end of an operation if we
start doing the actual operation work and it takes longer than expected.
This will hard-ACK the request data and allow the client to release its
resources.
To make this work:
(1) We have to set the ack timer and propose an ACK when the call moves to
the RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_ACK_REQUEST and clear the pending ACK and cancel
the timer when we start transmitting the reply (the first DATA packet
of the reply implicitly ACKs the request phase).
(2) It must be possible to set the timer when the caller is holding
call->state_lock, so split the lock-getting part of the timer function
out.
(3) Add trace notes for the ACK we're requesting and the timer we clear.

OpenAFS doesn't always correctly terminate client calls that it makes -
this includes calls the OpenAFS servers make to the cache manager service.
It should end the client call with either:
(1) An ACK that has firstPacket set to one greater than the seq number of
the reply DATA packet with the LAST_PACKET flag set (thereby
hard-ACK'ing all packets). nAcks should be 0 and acks[] should be
empty (ie. no soft-ACKs).
(2) An ACKALL packet.
OpenAFS, though, may send an ACK packet with firstPacket set to the last
seq number or less and soft-ACKs listed for all packets up to and including
the last DATA packet.
The transmitter, however, is obliged to keep the call live and the
soft-ACK'd DATA packets around until they're hard-ACK'd as the receiver is
permitted to drop any merely soft-ACK'd packet and request retransmission
by sending an ACK packet with a NACK in it.
Further, OpenAFS will also terminate a client call by beginning the next
client call on the same connection channel. This implicitly completes the
previous call.
This patch handles implicit ACK of a call on a channel by the reception of
the first packet of the next call on that channel.
If another call doesn't come along to implicitly ACK a call, then we have
to time the call out. There are some bugs there that will be addressed in
subsequent patches.

The call timer's concept of a call timeout (of which there are three) that
is inactive is that it is the timeout has the same expiration time as the
call expiration timeout (the expiration timer is never inactive). However,
I'm not resetting the timeouts when they expire, leading to repeated
processing of expired timeouts when other timeout events occur.
Fix this by:
(1) Move the timer expiry detection into rxrpc_set_timer() inside the
locked section. This means that if a timeout is set that will expire
immediately, we deal with it immediately.
(2) If a timeout is at or before now then it has expired. When an expiry
is detected, an event is raised, the timeout is automatically
inactivated and the event processor is queued.
(3) If a timeout is at or after the expiry timeout then it is inactive.
Inactive timeouts do not contribute to the timer setting.
(4) The call timer callback can now just call rxrpc_set_timer() to handle
things.
(5) The call processor work function now checks the event flags rather
than checking the timeouts directly.

Reduce the rxrpc_local::services list to just a pointer as we don't permit
multiple service endpoints to bind to a single transport endpoints (this is
excluded by rxrpc_lookup_local()).
The reason we don't allow this is that if you send a request to an AFS
filesystem service, it will try to talk back to your cache manager on the
port you sent from (this is how file change notifications are handled). To
prevent someone from stealing your CM callbacks, we don't let AF_RXRPC

In rxrpc_activate_channels(), the connection cache state is checked outside
of the lock, which means it can change whilst we're waking calls up,
thereby changing whether or not we're allowed to wake calls up.

all the channels are currently busy can stay outside of the locked region.
Whilst we're at it:
(1) Split the locked section out into its own function so that we can call

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

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.

If the server hasn't yet hard-ACK'd the request data, we send a PING ACK to
demand a response to find out whether we need to retransmit.
If the server says it has received all of the data, we send an IDLE ACK to
tell the server that we haven't received anything in the receive phase as
yet.
To make this work, a non-immediate PING ACK must carry a delay. I've chosen
the same as the IDLE ACK for the moment.

When determining the resend timer value, we have a value in nsec but the
timer is in jiffies which may be a million or more times more coarse.
nsecs_to_jiffies() rounds down - which means that the resend timeout
expressed as jiffies is very likely earlier than the one expressed as
nanoseconds from which it was derived.
The problem is that rxrpc_resend() gets triggered by the timer, but can't
then find anything to resend yet. It sets the timer again - but gets
kicked off immediately again and again until the nanosecond-based expiry
time is reached and we actually retransmit.
Fix this by adding 1 to the jiffies-based resend_at value to counteract the
rounding and make sure that the timer happens after the nanosecond-based
expiry is passed.
Alternatives would be to adjust the timestamp on the packets to align
with the jiffie scale or to switch back to using jiffie-timestamps.

When the last packet of data to be transmitted on a call is queued, tx_top
is set and then the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag is set. Unfortunately, this
leaves a race in the ACK processing side of things because the flag affects
the interpretation of tx_top and also allows us to start receiving reply
data before we've finished transmitting.
To fix this, make the following changes:
(1) rxrpc_queue_packet() now sets a marker in the annotation buffer
instead of setting the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag.
(2) rxrpc_rotate_tx_window() detects the marker and sets the flag in the
same context as the routines that use it.
(3) rxrpc_end_tx_phase() is simplified to just shift the call state.
The Tx window must have been rotated before calling to discard the
last packet.
(4) rxrpc_receiving_reply() is added to handle the arrival of the first
DATA packet of a reply to a client call (which is an implicit ACK of
the Tx phase).
(5) The last part of rxrpc_input_ack() is reordered to perform Tx
rotation, then soft-ACK application and then to end the phase if we've
rotated the last packet. In the event of a terminal ACK, the soft-ACK
application will be skipped as nAcks should be 0.
(6) rxrpc_input_ackall() now has to rotate as well as ending the phase.
In addition:
(7) Alter the transmit tracepoint to log the rotation of the last packet.
(8) Remove the no-longer relevant queue_reqack tracepoint note. The
ACK-REQUESTED packet header flag is now set as needed when we actually
transmit the packet and may vary by retransmission.

When rxrpc_input_soft_acks() is parsing the soft-ACKs from an ACK packet,
it updates the Tx packet annotations in the annotation buffer. If a
soft-ACK is an ACK, then we overwrite unack'd, nak'd or to-be-retransmitted
states and that is fine; but if the soft-ACK is an NACK, we overwrite the
to-be-retransmitted with a nak - which isn't.
Instead, we need to let any scheduled retransmission stand if the packet
was NAK'd.
Note that we don't reissue a resend if the annotation is in the
to-be-retransmitted state because someone else must've scheduled the
