All the setters of call-&gt;state are now in the I/O thread and thus the state
lock is now unnecessary.

<title>rxrpc: Move call state changes from recvmsg to I/O thread</title>

Move the call state changes that are made in rxrpc_recvmsg() to the I/O
thread.  This means that, thenceforth, only the I/O thread does this and
the call state lock can be removed.

This requires the Rx phase to be ended when the last packet is received,
not when it is processed.

Since this now changes the rxrpc call state to SUCCEEDED before we've
consumed all the data from it, rxrpc_kernel_check_life() mustn't say the
call is dead until the recvmsg queue is empty (unless the call has failed).

<id>57af281e5389b6fefedb3685f86847cbb0055f75</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>rxrpc: Only disconnect calls in the I/O thread</title>

<content type='text'>
Only perform call disconnection in the I/O thread to reduce the locking
requirement.

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
transmission and call disconnection into the I/O thread and thus forcibly
serialising them.

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
changed by the change given below.

Only set the abort call completion state in the I/O thread and only
transmit ABORT packets from there.  rxrpc_abort_call() can then be made to
actually send the packet.

Further, ABORT packets should only be sent if the call has been exposed to
the network (ie. at least one attempted DATA transmission has occurred for
it).

When we've gone for &gt;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.

Add a tracepoint to log when a cwnd reset occurs due to lack of
transmission on a call.

Add stat counters to count transmission underflows (ie. when we have tx
window space, but sendmsg doesn't manage to keep up), cwnd resets and
transmission failures.

<title>rxrpc: Make the I/O thread take over the call and local processor work</title>

<content type='text'>
Move the functions from the call-&gt;processor and local-&gt;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.

Changes:
========
ver #2)
 - Fix a couple of introduced lock context imbalances.

Shrink the region of rxrpc_input_packet() that is covered by the RCU read
lock so that it only covers the connection and call lookup.  This means
that the bits now outside of that can call sleepable functions such as
kmalloc and sendmsg.

Also take a ref on the conn or call we're going to use before we drop the
RCU read lock.
