Improve retransmission backoff by only backing off when we retransmit data
packets rather than when we set the lost ack timer.
To this end:
(1) In rxrpc_resend(), use rxrpc_get_rto_backoff() when setting the
retransmission timer and only tell it that we are retransmitting if we
actually have things to retransmit.
Note that it's possible for the retransmission algorithm to race with
the processing of a received ACK, so we may see no packets needing
retransmission.
(2) In rxrpc_send_data_packet(), don't bump the backoff when setting the
ack_lost_at timer, as it may then get bumped twice.
With this, when looking at one particular packet, the retransmission
intervals were seen to be 1.5ms, 2ms, 3ms, 5ms, 9ms, 17ms, 33ms, 71ms,
136ms, 264ms, 544ms, 1.088s, 2.1s, 4.2s and 8.3s.

Rewrite the rxrpc client connection manager so that it can support multiple
connections for a given security key to a peer. The following changes are
made:
(1) For each open socket, the code currently maintains an rbtree with the
connections placed into it, keyed by communications parameters. This
is tricky to maintain as connections can be culled from the tree or
replaced within it. Connections can require replacement for a number
of reasons, e.g. their IDs span too great a range for the IDR data
type to represent efficiently, the call ID numbers on that conn would
overflow or the conn got aborted.
This is changed so that there's now a connection bundle object placed
in the tree, keyed on the same parameters. The bundle, however, does
not need to be replaced.
(2) An rxrpc_bundle object can now manage the available channels for a set
of parallel connections. The lock that manages this is moved there
from the rxrpc_connection struct (channel_lock).
(3) There'a a dummy bundle for all incoming connections to share so that
they have a channel_lock too. It might be better to give each
incoming connection its own bundle. This bundle is not needed to
manage which channels incoming calls are made on because that's the
solely at whim of the client.
(4) The restrictions on how many client connections are around are
removed. Instead, a previous patch limits the number of client calls
that can be allocated. Ordinarily, client connections are reaped
after 2 minutes on the idle queue, but when more than a certain number
of connections are in existence, the reaper starts reaping them after
2s of idleness instead to get the numbers back down.
It could also be made such that new call allocations are forced to
wait until the number of outstanding connections subsides.

The Rx protocol has a mechanism to help generate RTT samples that works by
a client transmitting a REQUESTED-type ACK when it receives a DATA packet
that has the REQUEST_ACK flag set.
The peer, however, may interpose other ACKs before transmitting the
REQUESTED-ACK, as can be seen in the following trace excerpt:
rxrpc_tx_data: c=00000044 DATA d0b5ece8:00000001 00000001 q=00000001 fl=07
rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000001 PNG r=00000000 f=00000002 p=00000000 n=0
rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000002 REQ r=00000001 f=00000002 p=00000001 n=0
...
DATA packet 1 (q=xx) has REQUEST_ACK set (bit 1 of fl=xx). The incoming
ping (labelled PNG) hard-acks the request DATA packet (f=xx exceeds the
sequence number of the DATA packet), causing it to be discarded from the Tx
ring. The ACK that was requested (labelled REQ, r=xx references the serial
of the DATA packet) comes after the ping, but the sk_buff holding the
timestamp has gone and the RTT sample is lost.
This is particularly noticeable on RPC calls used to probe the service
offered by the peer. A lot of peers end up with an unknown RTT because we
only ever sent a single RPC. This confuses the server rotation algorithm.
Fix this by caching the information about the outgoing packet in RTT
calculations in the rxrpc_call struct rather than looking in the Tx ring.
A four-deep buffer is maintained and both REQUEST_ACK-flagged DATA and
PING-ACK transmissions are recorded in there. When the appropriate
response ACK is received, the buffer is checked for a match and, if found,
an RTT sample is recorded.
If a received ACK refers to a packet with a later serial number than an
entry in the cache, that entry is presumed lost and the entry is made
available to record a new transmission.
ACKs types other than REQUESTED-type and PING-type cause any matching
sample to be cancelled as they don't necessarily represent a useful
measurement.
If there's no space in the buffer on ping/data transmission, the sample
base is discarded.

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.

Fix the DATA packet transmission to disable nofrag for UDPv4 on an AF_INET6
socket as well as UDPv6 when trying to transmit fragmentably.
Without this, packets filled to the normal size used by the kernel AFS
client of 1412 bytes be rejected by udp_sendmsg() with EMSGSIZE
immediately. The ->sk_error_report() notification hook is called, but
rxrpc doesn't generate a trace for it.
This is a temporary fix; a more permanent solution needs to involve
changing the size of the packets being filled in accordance with the MTU,
which isn't currently done in AF_RXRPC. The reason for not doing so was
that, barring the last packet in an rx jumbo packet, jumbos can only be
assembled out of 1412-byte packets - and the plan was to construct jumbos
on the fly at transmission time.
Also, there's no point turning on IPV6_MTU_DISCOVER, since IPv6 has to
engage in this anyway since fragmentation is only done by the sender. We
can then condense the switch-statement in rxrpc_send_data_packet().

The condition should clear after a while when either the network comes back

This will allow a certain amount of time to elapse before we try
again.
(2) Enforce a return to the workqueue manager after a certain number of
iterations of the call processing loop.
(3) Add a backoff delay that increases the delay on deferred ACKs by a
jiffy per failed transmission to a limit of HZ. The backoff delay is
cleared on a successful return from kernel_sendmsg().
(4) Cancel calls immediately if the opening sendmsg fails. The layer

AF_RXRPC has a keepalive message generator that generates a message for a
peer ~20s after the last transmission to that peer to keep firewall ports
open. The implementation is incorrect in the following ways:
(1) It mixes up ktime_t and time64_t types.
(2) It uses ktime_get_real(), the output of which may jump forward or
backward due to adjustments to the time of day.
(3) If the current time jumps forward too much or jumps backwards, the
generator function will crank the base of the time ring round one slot
at a time (ie. a 1s period) until it catches up, spewing out VERSION
packets as it goes.
Fix the problem by:
(1) Only using time64_t. There's no need for sub-second resolution.
(2) Use ktime_get_seconds() rather than ktime_get_real() so that time
isn't perceived to go backwards.
(3) Simplifying rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker() by splitting it into two
parts:
(a) The "worker" function that manages the buckets and the timer.
(b) The "dispatch" function that takes the pending peers and
potentially transmits a keepalive packet before putting them back
in the ring into the slot appropriate to the revised last-Tx time.
(4) Taking everything that's pending out of the ring and splicing it into
a temporary collector list for processing.
In the case that there's been a significant jump forward, the ring
gets entirely emptied and then the time base can be warped forward
before the peers are processed.
The warping can't happen if the ring isn't empty because the slot a
peer is in is keepalive-time dependent, relative to the base time.
(5) Limit the number of iterations of the bucket array when scanning it.
(6) Set the timer to skip any empty slots as there's no point waking up if
there's nothing to do yet.
This can be triggered by an incoming call from a server after a reboot with
AF_RXRPC and AFS built into the kernel causing a peer record to be set up
before userspace is started. The system clock is then adjusted by
userspace, thereby potentially causing the keepalive generator to have a
meltdown - which leads to a message like:

We need to transmit a packet every so often to act as a keepalive for the

to prevent any intervening firewalls from closing the route.
Do this by resetting a timer every time we transmit a packet. If the timer
ever expires, we transmit a PING ACK packet and thereby also elicit a PING
RESPONSE ACK from the other side - which prevents our last-rx timeout from
expiring.
The timer is set to 1/6 of the last-rx timeout so that we can detect the

The ACK packet is adjudged to have been lost if it doesn't turn up within
2*RTT of the transmission.
If the timeout occurs, we schedule the sending of a PING ACK to find out
the state of the other side. If a new DATA packet is ready to go sooner,
we cancel the sending of the ping and set the request-ack flag on that
instead.
If we get back a PING-RESPONSE ACK that indicates a lower tx_top than what
we had at the time of the ping transmission, we adjudge all the DATA
packets sent between the response tx_top and the ping-time tx_top to have
been lost and retransmit immediately.
Rather than sending a PING ACK, we could just pick a DATA packet and
speculatively retransmit that with request-ack set. It should result in
either a REQUESTED ACK or a DUPLICATE ACK which we can then use in lieu the
a PING-RESPONSE ACK mentioned above.

When recvmsg() starts returning data from the call, the service ID field in
the returned msg_name will reflect the result of the upgrade attempt. If
the upgrade was ignored, srx_service will match what was set in the
sendmsg(); if the upgrade happened the srx_service will be altered to
indicate the service the server upgraded to.
Note that:
(1) The choice of upgrade service is up to the server
(2) Further client calls to the same server that would share a connection
are blocked if an upgrade probe is in progress.
(3) This should only be used to probe the service. Clients should then
use the returned service ID in all subsequent communications with that
server (and not set the upgrade). Note that the kernel will not
retain this information should the connection expire from its cache.
(4) If a server that supports upgrading is replaced by one that doesn't,
whilst a connection is live, and if the replacement is running, say,
OpenAFS 1.6.4 or older or an older IBM AFS, then the replacement
server will not respond to packets sent to the upgraded connection.

that if we receive a PING ACK and schedule transmission of a PING RESPONSE
ACK, the response doesn't get cancelled by a PING ACK we happen to be
scheduling transmission of at the same time.
If a PING RESPONSE gets lost, the other side might just sit there waiting
for it and refuse to proceed otherwise.

Split rxrpc_send_data_packet() to separate ACK generation (which is more
complicated) from ABORT generation. This simplifies the code a bit and
fixes the following warning:

Set the request-ACK on more DATA packets whilst we're in slow start mode so
that we get sufficient ACKs back to supply information to configure the
window.

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.

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.

Send an ACK if we haven't sent one for the last two packets we've received.
This keeps the other end apprised of where we've got to - which is
important if they're doing slow-start.
We do this in recvmsg so that we can dispatch a packet directly without the
need to wake up the background thread.
This should possibly be made configurable in future.

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.

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.

rxrpc_send_call_packet() is invoking the tx_ack tracepoint before it checks
whether there's an ACK to transmit (another thread may jump in and transmit
it).
Fix this by only invoking the tracepoint if we get a valid ACK to transmit.
Further, only allocate a serial number if we're going to actually transmit
something.

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.

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.

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).

Add a configuration option to inject packet loss by discarding
approximately every 8th packet received and approximately every 8th DATA
packet transmitted.
Note that no locking is used, but it shouldn't really matter.

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.

rxrpc_send_call_packet() should use type in both its switch-statements
rather than using pkt->whdr.type. This might give the compiler an easier
job of uninitialised variable checking.
