Send an immediate ACK if we fill in a hole in the buffer left by an
out-of-sequence packet. This may allow the congestion management in the peer
to avoid a retransmission if packets got reordered on the wire.

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 in rxrpc_resend() which packets will be
retransmitted. Note that if a positive ACK comes in whilst we have dropped
the lock to retransmit another packet, the actual retransmission may not
happen, though some of the effects will (such as altering the congestion
management).

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.

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.

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.

Fix the call timer in the following ways:
(1) If call->resend_at or call->ack_at are before or equal to the current
time, then ignore that timeout.
(2) If call->expire_at is before or equal to the current time, then don't
set the timer at all (possibly we should queue the call).
(3) Don't skip modifying the timer if timer_pending() is true. This
indicates that the timer is working, not that it has expired and is
running/waiting to run its expiry handler.
Also call rxrpc_set_timer() to start the call timer going rather than
calling add_timer().

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
resend already.

Don't send an IDLE ACK at the end of the transmission of the response to a

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.

Add a Tx-phase annotation for packet buffers to indicate that a buffer has

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
packets in the Tx queue. This has the potential to miss retransmissions
and cause excessive retransmissions.
Fix this by incrementing the pointer.

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.
