When we've gone for >1RTT without transmitting a packet, we should reduce
the ssthresh and cut the cwnd by half (as suggested in RFC2861 sec 3.1).
However, we may receive ACK packets in a batch and the first of these may
cut the cwnd, preventing further transmission, and each subsequent one cuts
the cwnd yet further, reducing it to the floor and killing performance.
Fix this by moving the cwnd reset to after doing the transmission and
resetting the base time such that we don't cut the cwnd by half again for
at least another RTT.

Move the functions from the call->processor and local->processor work items
into the domain of the I/O thread.
The call event processor, now called from the I/O thread, then takes over
the job of cranking the call state machine, processing incoming packets and
transmitting DATA, ACK and ABORT packets. In a future patch,
rxrpc_send_ACK() will transmit the ACK on the spot rather than queuing it
for later transmission.
The call event processor becomes purely received-skb driven. It only
transmits things in response to events. We use "pokes" to queue a dummy
skb to make it do things like start/resume transmitting data. Timer expiry
also results in pokes.
The connection event processor, becomes similar, though crypto events, such
as dealing with CHALLENGE and RESPONSE packets is offloaded to a work item
to avoid doing crypto in the I/O thread.
The local event processor is removed and VERSION response packets are
generated directly from the packet parser. Similarly, ABORTs generated in
response to protocol errors will be transmitted immediately rather than
being pushed onto a queue for later transmission.

A received skbuff needs a ref when it gets put on a call data queue or conn
packet queue, and rxrpc_input_packet() and co. jump through a lot of hoops
to avoid double-dropping the skbuff ref so that we can avoid getting a ref

Change this so that the skbuff ref is unconditionally dropped by the caller
of rxrpc_input_packet(). An additional ref is then taken on the packet if
it is pushed onto a queue.

Move DATA transmission into the call processor work item. In a future
patch, this will be called from the I/O thread rather than being itsown
work item.
This will allow DATA transmission to be driven directly by incoming ACKs,
pokes and timers as those are processed.
The Tx queue is also split: The queue of packets prepared by sendmsg is now
places in call->tx_sendmsg and the packet dispatcher decants the packets
into call->tx_buffer as space becomes available in the transmission
window. This allows sendmsg to run ahead of the available space to try and
prevent an underflow in transmission.

Currently, rxrpc gives the connection's work item a ref on the connection
when it queues it - and this is called from the timer expiration function.
The problem comes when queue_work() fails (ie. the work item is already
queued): the timer routine must put the ref - but this may cause the
cleanup code to run.
This has the unfortunate effect that the cleanup code may then be run in
softirq context - which means that any spinlocks it might need to touch
have to be guarded to disable softirqs (ie. they need a "_bh" suffix).
(1) Don't give a ref to the work item.
(2) Simplify handling of service connections by adding a separate active
count so that the refcount isn't also used for this.
(3) Connection destruction for both client and service connections can
then be cleaned up by putting rxrpc_put_connection() out of line and
making a tidy progression through the destruction code (offloaded to a
workqueue if put from softirq or processor function context). The RCU
part of the cleanup then only deals with the freeing at the end.
(4) Make rxrpc_queue_conn() return immediately if it sees the active count
is -1 rather then queuing the connection.
(5) Make sure that the cleanup routine waits for the work item to
complete.
(6) Stash the rxrpc_net pointer in the conn struct so that the rcu free
routine can use it, even if the local endpoint has been freed.
Unfortunately, neither the timer nor the work item can simply get around
the problem by just using refcount_inc_not_zero() as the waits would still
have to be done, and there would still be the possibility of having to put
the ref in the expiration function.
Note the connection work item is mostly going to go away with the main
event work being transferred to the I/O thread, so the wait in (6) will
become obsolete.

This has the unfortunate effect that the cleanup code may then be run in

Note that this is more of an optimisation.
(3) Make sure that the cleanup routine waits for timer to complete.
However, this has a consequence that timer cannot give a ref to the work

(4) Don't give a ref to the work item.
(5) Make the work item return asap if it sees the ref count is 0.
(6) Make sure that the cleanup routine waits for the work item to

rxrpc: Fix oops and missing config conditionals
The patches that were pulled into net-next previously[1] had some issues
that this patchset fixes:

(2) Fix an oops caused by calling udpv6_sendmsg() directly on an AF_INET
socket.
(3) Fix the validation of network addresses on entry to socket functions
so that we don't allow an AF_INET6 address if we've selected an
AF_INET transport socket.

After rxrpc_unbundle_conn() has removed a connection from a bundle, it
checks to see if there are any conns with available channels and, if not,
removes and attempts to destroy the bundle.
Whilst it does check after grabbing client_bundles_lock that there are no
connections attached, this races with rxrpc_look_up_bundle() retrieving the
bundle, but not attaching a connection for the connection to be attached
later.
There is therefore a window in which the bundle can get destroyed before we
manage to attach a new connection to it.
Fix this by adding an "active" counter to struct rxrpc_bundle:
(1) rxrpc_connect_call() obtains an active count by prepping/looking up a
bundle and ditches it before returning.
(2) If, during rxrpc_connect_call(), a connection is added to the bundle,
this obtains an active count, which is held until the connection is
discarded.
(3) rxrpc_deactivate_bundle() is created to drop an active count on a
bundle and destroy it when the active count reaches 0. The active
count is checked inside client_bundles_lock() to prevent a race with
rxrpc_look_up_bundle().
(4) rxrpc_unbundle_conn() then calls rxrpc_deactivate_bundle().

rxrpc has a problem in its congestion management in that it saves the
congestion window size (cwnd) from one call to another, but if this is 0 at
the time is saved, then the next call may not actually manage to ever
transmit anything.
To this end:
(1) Don't save cwnd between calls, but rather reset back down to the
initial cwnd and re-enter slow-start if data transmission is idle for
more than an RTT.
(2) Preserve ssthresh instead, as that is a handy estimate of pipe
capacity. Knowing roughly when to stop slow start and enter
congestion avoidance can reduce the tendency to overshoot and drop
larger amounts of packets when probing.
In future, cwind growth also needs to be constrained when the window isn't
being filled due to being application limited.

Improve the tracking of which packets need to be transmitted by saving the
last ACK packet that we receive that has a populated soft-ACK table rather
than marking packets. Then we can step through the soft-ACK table and look
at the packets we've transmitted beyond that to determine which packets we
might want to retransmit.
We also look at the highest serial number that has been acked to try and
guess which packets we've transmitted the peer is likely to have seen. If
necessary, we send a ping to retrieve that number.
One downside that might be a problem is that we can't then compare the
previous acked/unacked state so easily in rxrpc_input_soft_acks() - which
is a potential problem for the slow-start algorithm.

Change the way the Tx queueing works to make the following ends easier to
achieve:
(1) The filling of packets, the encryption of packets and the transmission
of packets can be handled in parallel by separate threads, rather than
rxrpc_sendmsg() allocating, filling, encrypting and transmitting each
packet before moving onto the next one.
(2) Get rid of the fixed-size ring which sets a hard limit on the number
of packets that can be retained in the ring. This allows the number
of packets to increase without having to allocate a very large ring or
having variable-sized rings.
[Note: the downside of this is that it's then less efficient to locate
a packet for retransmission as we then have to step through a list and
examine each buffer in the list.]
(3) Allow the filler/encrypter to run ahead of the transmission window.
(4) Make it easier to do zero copy UDP from the packet buffers.
(5) Make it easier to do zero copy from userspace to the packet buffers -
and thence to UDP (only if for unauthenticated connections).
To that end, the following changes are made:
(1) Use the new rxrpc_txbuf struct instead of sk_buff for keeping packets
to be transmitted in. This allows them to be placed on multiple
queues simultaneously. An sk_buff isn't really necessary as it's
never passed on to lower-level networking code.
(2) Keep the transmissable packets in a linked list on the call struct
rather than in a ring. As a consequence, the annotation buffer isn't
used either; rather a flag is set on the packet to indicate ackedness.
(3) Use the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag to indicate that the last packet to be
transmitted has been queued. Add RXRPC_CALL_TX_ALL_ACKED to indicate
that all packets up to and including the last got hard acked.
(4) Wire headers are now stored in the txbuf rather than being concocted
on the stack and they're stored immediately before the data, thereby
allowing zerocopy of a single span.
(5) Don't bother with instant-resend on transmission failure; rather,
leave it for a timer or an ACK packet to trigger.

Get rid of the Rx ring and replace it with a pair of queues instead. One
queue gets the packets that are in-sequence and are ready for processing by
recvmsg(); the other queue gets the out-of-sequence packets for addition to
the first queue as the holes get filled.
The annotation ring is removed and replaced with a SACK table. The SACK
table has the bits set that correspond exactly to the sequence number of
the packet being acked. The SACK ring is copied when an ACK packet is
being assembled and rotated so that the first ACK is in byte 0.
Flow control handling is altered so that packets that are moved to the
in-sequence queue are hard-ACK'd even before they're consumed - and then
the Rx window size in the ACK packet (rsize) is shrunk down to compensate
(even going to 0 if the window is full).
