The expect_rx_by call timeout is supposed to be set when a call is started
to indicate that we need to receive a packet by that point. This is
currently put back every time we receive a packet, but it isn't started
when we first send a packet. Without this, the call may wait forever if
the server doesn't deign to reply.
Fix this by setting the timeout upon a successful UDP sendmsg call for the
first DATA packet. The timeout is initiated only for initial transmission
and not for subsequent retries as we don't want the retry mechanism to
extend the timeout indefinitely.

When a new client call is requested, an rxrpc_conn_parameters struct object
is passed in with a bunch of parameters set, such as the local endpoint to
use. A pointer to the target peer record is also placed in there by
rxrpc_get_client_conn() - and this is removed if and only if a new
connection object is allocated. Thus it leaks if a new connection object
isn't allocated.
Fix this by putting any peer object attached to the rxrpc_conn_parameters
object in the function that allocated it.

rxrpc calls have a ring of packets that are awaiting ACK or retransmission
and a parallel ring of annotations that tracks the state of those packets.
If the initial transmission of a packet on the underlying UDP socket fails
then the packet annotation is marked for resend - but the setting of this
mark accidentally erases the last-packet mark also stored in the same
annotation slot. If this happens, a call won't switch out of the Tx phase
when all the packets have been transmitted.
Fix this by retaining the last-packet mark and only altering the packet
state.

In rxrpc and afs, use the debug_ids that are monotonically allocated to
various objects as they're allocated rather than pointers as kernel
pointers are now hashed making them less useful. Further, the debug ids
aren't reused anywhere nearly as quickly.
In addition, allow kernel services that use rxrpc, such as afs, to take
numbers from the rxrpc counter, assign them to their own call struct and
pass them in to rxrpc for both client and service calls so that the trace
lines for each will have the same ID tag.

Add an extra timeout that is set/updated when we send a DATA packet that
has the request-ack flag set. This allows us to detect if we don't get an
ACK in response to the latest flagged packet.
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.

Express protocol timeouts for data retransmission and deferred ack
generation in terms on RTT rather than specified timeouts once we have
sufficient RTT samples.
For the moment, this requires just one RTT sample to be able to use this
for ack deferral and two for data retransmission.
The data retransmission timeout is set at RTT*1.5 and the ACK deferral
timeout is set at RTT.
Note that the calculated timeout is limited to a minimum of 4ns to make
sure it doesn't happen too quickly.

Fix the rxrpc call expiration timeouts and make them settable from
userspace. By analogy with other rx implementations, there should be three
timeouts:
(1) "Normal timeout"
This is set for all calls and is triggered if we haven't received any
packets from the peer in a while. It is measured from the last time
we received any packet on that call. This is not reset by any
connection packets (such as CHALLENGE/RESPONSE packets).
If a service operation takes a long time, the server should generate
PING ACKs at a duration that's substantially less than the normal
timeout so is to keep both sides alive. This is set at 1/6 of normal
timeout.
(2) "Idle timeout"
This is set only for a service call and is triggered if we stop
receiving the DATA packets that comprise the request data. It is
measured from the last time we received a DATA packet.
(3) "Hard timeout"
This can be set for a call and specified the maximum lifetime of that
call. It should not be specified by default. Some operations (such
as volume transfer) take a long time.
Allow userspace to set/change the timeouts on a call with sendmsg, using a
control message:
RXRPC_SET_CALL_TIMEOUTS
The data to the message is a number of 32-bit words, not all of which need
be given:
u32 hard_timeout; /* sec from first packet */
u32 idle_timeout; /* msec from packet Rx */
u32 normal_timeout; /* msec from data Rx */
This can be set in combination with any other sendmsg() that affects a
call.

When rxrpc_sendmsg() parses the control message buffer, it places the
parameters extracted into a structure, but lumps together call parameters
(such as user call ID) with operation parameters (such as whether to send
data, send an abort or accept a call).
Split the call parameters out into their own structure, a copy of which is
then embedded in the operation parameters struct.
The call parameters struct is then passed down into the places that need it
instead of passing the individual parameters. This allows for extra call
parameters to be added.

Make AF_RXRPC accept MSG_WAITALL as a flag to sendmsg() to tell it to
ignore signals whilst loading up the message queue, provided progress is
being made in emptying the queue at the other side.
Progress is defined as the base of the transmit window having being
advanced within 2 RTT periods. If the period is exceeded with no progress,
sendmsg() will return anyway, indicating how much data has been copied, if
any.
Once the supplied buffer is entirely decanted, the sendmsg() will return.

Allow a client call that failed on network error to be retried, provided
that the Tx queue still holds DATA packet 1. This allows an operation to
be submitted to another server or another address for the same server
without having to repackage and re-encrypt the data so far processed.
Two new functions are provided:
(1) rxrpc_kernel_check_call() - This is used to find out the completion
state of a call to guess whether it can be retried and whether it
should be retried.
(2) rxrpc_kernel_retry_call() - Disconnect the call from its current
connection, reset the state and submit it as a new client call to a
new address. The new address need not match the previous address.
A call may be retried even if all the data hasn't been loaded into it yet;
a partially constructed will be retained at the same point it was at when
an error condition was detected. msg_data_left() can be used to find out
how much data was packaged before the error occurred.

notification is guaranteed to come before any reply is passed back.

to change the afs_call state before sending the last bit of data.

Provide a control message that can be specified on the first sendmsg() of a
client call or the first sendmsg() of a service response to indicate the
total length of the data to be transmitted for that call.
Currently, because the length of the payload of an encrypted DATA packet is
encrypted in front of the data, the packet cannot be encrypted until we
know how much data it will hold.
By specifying the length at the beginning of the transmit phase, each DATA
packet length can be set before we start loading data from userspace (where
several sendmsg() calls may contribute to a particular packet).
An error will be returned if too little or too much data is presented in
the Tx phase.

Make it possible for a client to use AuriStor's service upgrade facility.
The client does this by adding an RXRPC_UPGRADE_SERVICE control message to
the first sendmsg() of a call. This takes no parameters.
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.
At this point, calls will time out and the server must be reprobed.

Add a tracepoint (rxrpc_rx_proto) to record protocol errors in received
packets. The following changes are made:
(1) Add a function, __rxrpc_abort_eproto(), to note a protocol error on a
call and mark the call aborted. This is wrapped by
rxrpc_abort_eproto() that makes the why string usable in trace.
(2) Add trace_rxrpc_rx_proto() or rxrpc_abort_eproto() to protocol error
generation points, replacing rxrpc_abort_call() with the latter.
(3) Only send an abort packet in rxkad_verify_packet*() if we actually
managed to abort the call.
Note that a trace event is also emitted if a kernel user (e.g. afs) tries
to send data through a call when it's not in the transmission phase, though
it's not technically a receive event.

All the routines by which rxrpc is accessed from the outside are serialised
by means of the socket lock (sendmsg, recvmsg, bind,
rxrpc_kernel_begin_call(), ...) and this presents a problem:
(1) If a number of calls on the same socket are in the process of
connection to the same peer, a maximum of four concurrent live calls
are permitted before further calls need to wait for a slot.
(2) If a call is waiting for a slot, it is deep inside sendmsg() or
rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() and the entry function is holding the socket
lock.
(3) sendmsg() and recvmsg() or the in-kernel equivalents are prevented
from servicing the other calls as they need to take the socket lock to
do so.
(4) The socket is stuck until a call is aborted and makes its slot
available to the waiter.
Fix this by:
(1) Provide each call with a mutex ('user_mutex') that arbitrates access
by the users of rxrpc separately for each specific call.
(2) Make rxrpc_sendmsg() and rxrpc_recvmsg() unlock the socket as soon as
they've got a call and taken its mutex.
Note that I'm returning EWOULDBLOCK from recvmsg() if MSG_DONTWAIT is
set but someone else has the lock. Should I instead only return
EWOULDBLOCK if there's nothing currently to be done on a socket, and
sleep in this particular instance because there is something to be
done, but we appear to be blocked by the interrupt handler doing its
ping?
(3) Make rxrpc_new_client_call() unlock the socket after allocating a new
call, locking its user mutex and adding it to the socket's call tree.
The call is returned locked so that sendmsg() can add data to it
immediately.
From the moment the call is in the socket tree, it is subject to
access by sendmsg() and recvmsg() - even if it isn't connected yet.
(4) Lock new service calls in the UDP data_ready handler (in
rxrpc_new_incoming_call()) because they may already be in the socket's
tree and the data_ready handler makes them live immediately if a user
ID has already been preassigned.
Note that the new call is locked before any notifications are sent
that it is live, so doing mutex_trylock() *ought* to always succeed.
Userspace is prevented from doing sendmsg() on calls that are in a
too-early state in rxrpc_do_sendmsg().
(5) Make rxrpc_new_incoming_call() return the call with the user mutex
held so that a ping can be scheduled immediately under it.
Note that it might be worth moving the ping call into
rxrpc_new_incoming_call() and then we can drop the mutex there.
(6) Make rxrpc_accept_call() take the lock on the call it is accepting and
release the socket after adding the call to the socket's tree. This
is slightly tricky as we've dequeued the call by that point and have
to requeue it.
Note that requeuing emits a trace event.
(7) Make rxrpc_kernel_send_data() and rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() take the
new mutex immediately and don't bother with the socket mutex at all.
This patch has the nice bonus that calls on the same socket are now to some
extent parallelisable.
Note that we might want to move rxrpc_service_prealloc() calls out from the
socket lock and give it its own lock, so that we don't hang progress in
other calls because we're waiting for the allocator.
We probably also want to avoid calling rxrpc_notify_socket() from within
the socket lock (rxrpc_accept_call()).

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.

Separate the output of PING ACKs from the output of other sorts of ACK so
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

If a PING RESPONSE gets lost, the other side might just sit there waiting
for it and refuse to proceed otherwise.

In rxrpc_send_data_packet() make the loss-injection path return through the

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.

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.

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 a DATA packet has its initial transmission, we may need to start or
adjust the resend timer. Without this we end up relying on being sent a
NACK to initiate the resend.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Add a tracepoint for working out where local aborts happen. Each
tracepoint call is labelled with a 3-letter code so that they can be
distinguished - and the DATA sequence number is added too where available.
rxrpc_kernel_abort_call() also takes a 3-letter code so that AFS can
indicate the circumstances when it aborts a call.
