<content type='text'>
The Rx protocol has a "previousPacket" field in it that is not handled in
the same way by all protocol implementations.  Sometimes it contains the
serial number of the last DATA packet received, sometimes the sequence
number of the last DATA packet received and sometimes the highest sequence
number so far received.

AF_RXRPC is using this to weed out ACKs that are out of date (it's possible
for ACK packets to get reordered on the wire), but this does not work with
OpenAFS which will just stick the sequence number of the last packet seen
into previousPacket.

The issue being seen is that big AFS FS.StoreData RPC (eg. of ~256MiB) are
timing out when partly sent.  A trace was captured, with an additional
tracepoint to show ACKs being discarded in rxrpc_input_ack().  Here's an
excerpt showing the problem.

 52873.203230: rxrpc_tx_data: c=000004ae DATA ed1a3584:00000002 0002449c q=00024499 fl=09

A DATA packet with sequence number 00024499 has been transmitted (the "q="
field).

 ...
 52873.243296: rxrpc_rx_ack: c=000004ae 00012a2b DLY r=00024499 f=00024497 p=00024496 n=0

The Out-Of-Sequence ACK indicates that the server didn't see DATA sequence
number 00024499, but did see seq 0002449a (previousPacket, shown as "p=",
skipped the number, but firstPacket, "f=", which shows the bottom of the
window is set at that point).

 52873.252663: rxrpc_retransmit: c=000004ae q=24499 a=02 xp=14581537
 52873.252664: rxrpc_tx_data: c=000004ae DATA ed1a3584:00000002 000244bc q=00024499 fl=0b *RETRANS*

The packet has been retransmitted.  Retransmission recurs until the peer
says it got the packet.

 52873.271013: rxrpc_rx_ack: c=000004ae 00012a31 OOS r=000244a1 f=00024499 p=0002449e n=6

More OOS ACKs indicate that the other packets that are already in the
transmission pipeline are being received.  The specific-ACK list is up to 6
ACKs and NAKs.

 52873.287468: rxrpc_rx_ack: c=000004ae 00012a4a OOS r=000244ba f=00024499 p=000244b7 n=31

At this point, the server's receive window is full (n=32) with presumably 1
NAK'd packet and 31 ACK'd packets.  We can't transmit any more packets.

 52873.287488: rxrpc_retransmit: c=000004ae q=24499 a=0a xp=61327980
 52873.287489: rxrpc_tx_data: c=000004ae DATA ed1a3584:00000002 000244c3 q=00024499 fl=0b *RETRANS*
 52873.293850: rxrpc_rx_ack: c=000004ae 00012a4c DLY r=000244bc f=000244a0 p=00024499 n=25

And now we've received an ACK indicating that a DATA retransmission was
received.  7 packets have been processed (the occupied part of the window
moved, as indicated by f= and n=).

 52873.293853: rxrpc_rx_discard_ack: c=000004ae r=00012a4c 000244a0&lt;00024499 00024499&lt;000244b8

However, the DLY ACK gets discarded because its previousPacket has gone
backwards (from p=000244b8, in the ACK at 52873.287478 to p=00024499 in the
ACK at 52873.293850).

We then end up in a continuous cycle of retransmit/discard.  kafs fails to
update its window because it's discarding the ACKs and can't transmit an
extra packet that would clear the issue because the window is full.
OpenAFS doesn't change the previousPacket value in the ACKs because no new
DATA packets are received with a different previousPacket number.

Fix this by altering the discard check to only discard an ACK based on
previousPacket if there was no advance in the firstPacket.  This allows us
to transmit a new packet which will cause previousPacket to advance in the
next ACK.

The check, however, needs to allow for the possibility that previousPacket
may actually have had the serial number placed in it instead - in which
case it will go outside the window and we should ignore it.

<title>rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout</title>

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.

<title>rxrpc: Fix DATA Tx to disable nofrag for UDP on AF_INET6 socket</title>

Fix the DATA packet transmission to disable nofrag for UDPv4 on an AF_INET6
socket as well as UDPv6 when trying to transmit fragmentably.

Without this, packets filled to the normal size used by the kernel AFS
client of 1412 bytes be rejected by udp_sendmsg() with EMSGSIZE
immediately.  The -&gt;sk_error_report() notification hook is called, but
rxrpc doesn't generate a trace for it.

This is a temporary fix; a more permanent solution needs to involve
changing the size of the packets being filled in accordance with the MTU,
which isn't currently done in AF_RXRPC.  The reason for not doing so was
that, barring the last packet in an rx jumbo packet, jumbos can only be
assembled out of 1412-byte packets - and the plan was to construct jumbos
on the fly at transmission time.

Also, there's no point turning on IPV6_MTU_DISCOVER, since IPv6 has to
engage in this anyway since fragmentation is only done by the sender.  We
can then condense the switch-statement in rxrpc_send_data_packet().

One way to prevent this deadlock scenario from happening is to not
allow writing to userspace while holding the key semaphore. Instead,
an internal buffer is allocated for getting the keys out from the
read method first before copying them out to userspace without holding
the lock.

That requires taking out the __user modifier from all the relevant
read methods as well as additional changes to not use any userspace
write helpers. That is,

  1) The put_user() call is replaced by a direct copy.
  2) The copy_to_user() call is replaced by memcpy().
  3) All the fault handling code is removed.

Compiling on a x86-64 system, the size of the rxrpc_read() function is
reduced from 3795 bytes to 2384 bytes with this patch.

One way to prevent this deadlock scenario from happening is to not
allow writing to userspace while holding the key semaphore. Instead,
an internal buffer is allocated for getting the keys out from the
read method first before copying them out to userspace without holding
the lock.

That requires taking out the __user modifier from all the relevant
read methods as well as additional changes to not use any userspace
write helpers. That is,

  1) The put_user() call is replaced by a direct copy.
  2) The copy_to_user() call is replaced by memcpy().
  3) All the fault handling code is removed.

Compiling on a x86-64 system, the size of the rxrpc_read() function is
reduced from 3795 bytes to 2384 bytes with this patch.

Fix the handling of signals in client rxrpc calls made by the afs
filesystem.  Ignore signals completely, leaving call abandonment or
connection loss to be detected by timeouts inside AF_RXRPC.

Allowing a filesystem call to be interrupted after the entire request has
been transmitted and an abort sent means that the server may or may not
have done the action - and we don't know.  It may even be worse than that
for older servers.

Fix the handling of sendmsg() with MSG_WAITALL for userspace to round the
timeout for when a signal occurs up to at least two jiffies as a 1 jiffy
timeout may end up being effectively 0 if jiffies wraps at the wrong time.

Fix the interruptibility of kernel-initiated client calls so that they're
either only interruptible when they're waiting for a call slot to come
available or they're not interruptible at all.  Either way, they're not
interruptible during transmission.

This should help prevent StoreData calls from being interrupted when
writeback is in progress.  It doesn't, however, handle interruption during
the receive phase.

Userspace-initiated calls are still interruptable.  After the signal has
been handled, sendmsg() will return the amount of data copied out of the
buffer and userspace can perform another sendmsg() call to continue
transmission.

Abstract out the calculation of there being sufficient Tx buffer space.
This is reproduced several times in the rxrpc sendmsg code.
