rxrpc: Pass the last Tx packet marker in the annotation buffer
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. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
