In the same spirit as commit ca57f02295 ("afs: Fix fileserver probe
RTT handling"), don't rule out using a vlserver just because there
haven't been enough packets yet to calculate a real rtt. Always set the
server's probe rtt from the estimate provided by rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt,
which is capped at 1 second.
This could lead to EDESTADDRREQ errors when accessing a cell for the
first time, even though the vl servers are known and have responded to a
probe.

Don't use the running state for VL server probes to make decisions about
which server to use as the state is cleared at the start of a probe and
intermediate values might also be misleading.
Instead, add a separate 'latest known' rtt in the afs_vlserver struct and a
flag to indicate if the server is known to be responding and update these
as and when we know what to change them to.

Fix rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() to indicate the validity of the returned
smoothed RTT. If we haven't had any valid samples yet, the SRTT isn't
useful.
Fixes: c410bf0193 ("rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout")
Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
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.

Split the call to afs_wait_for_call_to_complete() from afs_make_call() to

kAFS can be given certain network errors (EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and
ERFKILL) that it doesn't handle in its server/address rotation algorithms.
They cause the probing and rotation to abort immediately rather than
rotating.
Fix this by:
(1) Abstracting out the error prioritisation from the VL and FS rotation
algorithms into a common function and expand usage into the server
probing code.
When multiple errors are available, this code selects the one we'd
prefer to return.
(2) Add handling for EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and ERFKILL.

Send probes to all the unprobed fileservers in a fileserver list on all
addresses simultaneously in an attempt to find out the fastest route whilst
not getting stuck for 20s on any server or address that we don't get a
reply from.
This alleviates the problem whereby attempting to access a new server can
take a long time because the rotation algorithm ends up rotating through
all servers and addresses until it finds one that responds.
