Extract useful fields from a received ACK packet into the skb private data
early on in the process of parsing incoming packets. This makes the ACK
fields available even before we've matched the ACK up to a call and will
allow us to deal with path MTU discovery probe responses even after the
relevant call has been completed.

Clean up the DATA packet resending algorithm to retransmit packets as we
come across them whilst walking the transmission buffer rather than queuing
them for retransmission at the end. This can be done as ACK parsing - and
thus the discarding of successful packets - is now done in the same thread
rather than separately in softirq context and a locked section is no longer
required.

Fix the counting of new acks and nacks when parsing a packet - something
that is used in congestion control.
As the code stands, it merely notes if there are any nacks whereas what we
really should do is compare the previous SACK table to the new one,
assuming we get two successive ACK packets with nacks in them. However, we
really don't want to do that if we can avoid it as the tables might not
correspond directly as one may be shifted from the other - something that
will only get harder to deal with once extended ACK tables come into full
use (with a capacity of up to 8192).
Instead, count the number of nacks shifted out of the old SACK, the number
of nacks retained in the portion still active and the number of new acks
and nacks in the new table then calculate what we need.
Note this ends up a bit of an estimate as the Rx protocol allows acks to be
withdrawn by the receiver and packets requested to be retransmitted.

Tidy up the abort generation infrastructure in the following ways:
(1) Create an enum and string mapping table to list the reasons an abort
might be generated in tracing.
(2) Replace the 3-char string with the values from (1) in the places that
use that to log the abort source. This gets rid of a memcpy() in the
tracepoint.
(3) Subsume the rxrpc_rx_eproto tracepoint with the rxrpc_abort tracepoint
and use values from (1) to indicate the trace reason.
(4) Always make a call to an abort function at the point of the abort
rather than stashing the values into variables and using goto to get
to a place where it reported. The C optimiser will collapse the calls
together as appropriate. The abort functions return a value that can
be returned directly if appropriate.
Note that this extends into afs also at the points where that generates an
abort. To aid with this, the afs sources need to #define
RXRPC_TRACE_ONLY_DEFINE_ENUMS before including the rxrpc tracing header
because they don't have access to the rxrpc internal structures that some
of the tracepoints make use of.

This is the first part of a fix for a race that exists between call
connection and call disconnection whereby the data transmission code adds
the call to the peer error distribution list after the call has been
disconnected (say by the rxrpc socket getting closed).
The fix is to complete the process of moving call connection, data

Note that the issue may predate the overhaul to an I/O thread model that
were included in the merge window for v6.2, but the timing is very much

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.

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 call timer a ref on the call when it starts it
and this is passed along to the workqueue by 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).
Fix this by:
(1) Don't give a ref to the timer.
(2) Making the expiration function not do anything if the refcount is 0.
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
item. Therefore the following fixes are also necessary:
(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
complete.
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 call work item is going to go away with the work being transferred
to the I/O thread, so the wait in (6) will become obsolete.

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.

Clean up the rxrpc_propose_ACK() function. If deferred PING ACK proposal
is split out, it's only really needed for deferred DELAY ACKs. All other
ACKs, bar terminal IDLE ACK are sent immediately. The deferred IDLE ACK
submission can be handled by conversion of a DELAY ACK into an IDLE ACK if
there's nothing to be SACK'd.
Also, because there's a delay between an ACK being generated and being
transmitted, it's possible that other ACKs of the same type will be
generated during that interval. Apart from the ACK time and the serial
number responded to, most of the ACK body, including window and SACK
parameters, are not filled out till the point of transmission - so we can
avoid generating a new ACK if there's one pending that will cover the SACK
data we need to convey.
Therefore, don't propose a new DELAY or IDLE ACK for a call if there's one
already pending.

rxrpc has a timer to trigger resending of unacked data packets in a call.
This is not cancelled when a client call switches to the receive phase on
the basis that most calls don't last long enough for it to ever expire.
However, if it *does* expire after we've started to receive the reply, we
shouldn't then go into trying to retransmit or pinging the server to find
out if an ack got lost.
Fix this by skipping the resend code if we're into receiving the reply to a
client call.

The rxrpc_call struct has a timer used to handle various timed events
relating to a call. This timer can get started from the packet input
routines that are run in softirq mode with just the RCU read lock held.
Unfortunately, because only the RCU read lock is held - and neither ref or
other lock is taken - the call can start getting destroyed at the same time
a packet comes in addressed to that call. This causes the timer - which
was already stopped - to get restarted. Later, the timer dispatch code may
then oops if the timer got deallocated first.
Fix this by trying to take a ref on the rxrpc_call struct and, if
successful, passing that ref along to the timer. If the timer was already
running, the ref is discarded.
The timer completion routine can then pass the ref along to the call's work
item when it queues it. If the timer or work item where already
queued/running, the extra ref is discarded.

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.

Commit 2ad6691d98, which moved the modification of the status annotation
for a packet in the Tx buffer prior to the retransmission moved the state
clearance, but managed to lose the bit that set it to UNACK.
Consequently, if a retransmission occurs, the packet is accidentally
changed to the ACK state (ie. 0) by masking it off, which means that the
packet isn't counted towards the tally of newly-ACK'd packets if it gets
hard-ACK'd. This then prevents the congestion control algorithm from
recovering properly.
Fix by reinstating the change of state to UNACK.
Spotted by the generic/460 xfstest.

There's a race between the retransmission code and the received ACK parser.
The problem is that the retransmission loop has to drop the lock under
which it is iterating through the transmission buffer in order to transmit
a packet, but whilst the lock is dropped, the ACK parser can crank the Tx
window round and discard the packets from the buffer.
The retransmission code then updated the annotations for the wrong packet
and a later retransmission thought it had to retransmit a packet that
wasn't there, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by:
(1) Moving the annotation change to before we drop the lock prior to
transmission. This means we can't vary the annotation depending on
the outcome of the transmission, but that's fine - we'll retransmit
again later if it failed now.
(2) Skipping the packet if the skb pointer is NULL.
The following oops was seen:

Under some circumstances, rxrpc will fail a transmit a packet through the
underlying UDP socket (ie. UDP sendmsg returns an error). This may result
in a call getting stuck.
In the instance being seen, where AFS tries to send a probe to the Volume
Location server, tracepoints show the UDP Tx failure (in this case returing
error 99 EADDRNOTAVAIL) and then nothing more:
afs_make_vl_call: c=0000015d VL.GetCapabilities
rxrpc_call: c=0000015d NWc u=1 sp=rxrpc_kernel_begin_call+0x106/0x170 [rxrpc] a=00000000dd89ee8a
rxrpc_call: c=0000015d Gus u=2 sp=rxrpc_new_client_call+0x14f/0x580 [rxrpc] a=00000000e20e4b08

rxrpc_tx_fail: c=0000015d r=1 ret=-99 CallDataNofrag
The problem is that if the initial packet fails and the retransmission
timer hasn't been started, the call is set to completed and an error is
returned from rxrpc_send_data_packet() to rxrpc_queue_packet(). Though
rxrpc_instant_resend() is called, this does nothing because the call is
marked completed.
So rxrpc_notify_socket() isn't called and the error is passed back up to
rxrpc_send_data(), rxrpc_kernel_send_data() and thence to afs_make_call()
and afs_vl_get_capabilities() where it is simply ignored because it is
assumed that the result of a probe will be collected asynchronously.
Fileserver probing is similarly affected via afs_fs_get_capabilities().
Fix this by always issuing a notification in __rxrpc_set_call_completion()
if it shifts a call to the completed state, even if an error is also
returned to the caller through the function return value.
Also put in a little bit of optimisation to avoid taking the call
state_lock and disabling softirqs if the call is already in the completed
state and remove some now redundant rxrpc_notify_socket() calls.

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.
