Sometimes an in-progress call will stop responding on the fileserver when
the fileserver quietly cancels the call with an internally marked abort
(RX_CALL_DEAD), without sending an ABORT to the client.

This causes the client's call to eventually expire from lack of incoming
packets directed its way, which currently leads to it being cancelled
locally with ETIME.  Note that it's not currently clear as to why this
happens as it's really hard to reproduce.

The rotation policy implement by kAFS, however, doesn't differentiate
between ETIME meaning we didn't get any response from the server and ETIME
meaning the call got cancelled mid-flow.  The latter leads to an oops when
fetching data as the rotation partially resets the afs_read descriptor,
which can result in a cleared page pointer being dereferenced because that
page has already been filled.

Handle this by the following means:

 (1) Set a flag on a call when we receive a packet for it.

 (2) Store the highest packet serial number so far received for a call
     (bearing in mind this may wrap).

 (3) If, when the "not received anything recently" timeout expires on a
     call, we've received at least one packet for a call and the connection
     as a whole has received packets more recently than that call, then
     cancel the call locally with ECONNRESET rather than ETIME.

     This indicates that the call was definitely in progress on the server.

 (4) In kAFS, if the rotation algorithm sees ECONNRESET rather than ETIME,
     don't try the next server, but rather abort the call.

     This avoids the oops as we don't try to reuse the afs_read struct.
     Rather, as-yet ungotten pages will be reread at a later data.

Also:

 (5) Add an rxrpc tracepoint to log detection of the call being reset.

Without this, I occasionally see an oops like the following:

In rxrpc and afs, use the debug_ids that are monotonically allocated to
various objects as they're allocated rather than pointers as kernel
pointers are now hashed making them less useful.  Further, the debug ids
aren't reused anywhere nearly as quickly.

In addition, allow kernel services that use rxrpc, such as afs, to take
numbers from the rxrpc counter, assign them to their own call struct and
pass them in to rxrpc for both client and service calls so that the trace
lines for each will have the same ID tag.

<title>rxrpc: Fix service endpoint expiry</title>

<content type='text'>
RxRPC service endpoints expire like they're supposed to by the following
means:

 (1) Mark dead rxrpc_net structs (with -&gt;live) rather than twiddling the
     global service conn timeout, otherwise the first rxrpc_net struct to
     die will cause connections on all others to expire immediately from
     then on.

 (2) Mark local service endpoints for which the socket has been closed
     (-&gt;service_closed) so that the expiration timeout can be much
     shortened for service and client connections going through that
     endpoint.

 (3) rxrpc_put_service_conn() needs to schedule the reaper when the usage
     count reaches 1, not 0, as idle conns have a 1 count.

 (4) The accumulator for the earliest time we might want to schedule for
     should be initialised to jiffies + MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET, not ULONG_MAX as
     the comparison functions use signed arithmetic.

 (5) Simplify the expiration handling, adding the expiration value to the
     idle timestamp each time rather than keeping track of the time in the
     past before which the idle timestamp must go to be expired.  This is
     much easier to read.

 (6) Ignore the timeouts if the net namespace is dead.

 (7) Restart the service reaper work item rather the client reaper.

We need to transmit a packet every so often to act as a keepalive for the
peer (which has a timeout from the last time it received a packet) and also
to prevent any intervening firewalls from closing the route.

Do this by resetting a timer every time we transmit a packet.  If the timer
ever expires, we transmit a PING ACK packet and thereby also elicit a PING
RESPONSE ACK from the other side - which prevents our last-rx timeout from
expiring.

The timer is set to 1/6 of the last-rx timeout so that we can detect the
other side going away if it misses 6 replies in a row.

This is particularly necessary for servers where the processing of the
service function may take a significant amount of time.
