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withdrawn by the receiver and packets requested to be retransmitted.

Fixes: d57a3a151660 ("rxrpc: Save last ACK's SACK table rather than marking txbufs")

<title>rxrpc, afs: Allow afs to pin rxrpc_peer objects</title>

<id>72904d7b9bfbf2dd146254edea93958bc35bbbfe</id>
<content type='text'>
Change rxrpc's API such that:

 (1) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer(), is provided to look up an
     rxrpc_peer record for a remote address and a corresponding function,
     rxrpc_kernel_put_peer(), is provided to dispose of it again.

 (2) When setting up a call, the rxrpc_peer object used during a call is
     now passed in rather than being set up by rxrpc_connect_call().  For
     afs, this meenat passing it to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() rather than
     the full address (the service ID then has to be passed in as a
     separate parameter).

 (3) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr(), is added so that afs can
     get a pointer to the transport address for display purposed, and
     another, rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx(), to gain a pointer to the full
     rxrpc address.

 (4) The function to retrieve the RTT from a call, rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt(),
     is then altered to take a peer.  This now returns the RTT or -1 if
     there are insufficient samples.

 (5) Rename rxrpc_kernel_get_peer() to rxrpc_kernel_call_get_peer().

 (6) Provide a new function, rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(), to get a ref on a
     peer the caller already has.

This allows the afs filesystem to pin the rxrpc_peer records that it is
using, allowing faster lookups and pointer comparisons rather than
comparing sockaddr_rxrpc contents.  It also makes it easier to get hold of
the RTT.  The following changes are made to afs:

 (1) The addr_list struct's addrs[] elements now hold a peer struct pointer
     and a service ID rather than a sockaddr_rxrpc.

 (2) When displaying the transport address, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr() is
     used.

 (3) The port arg is removed from afs_alloc_addrlist() since it's always
     overridden.

 (4) afs_merge_fs_addr4() and afs_merge_fs_addr6() do peer lookup and may
     now return an error that must be handled.

 (5) afs_find_server() now takes a peer pointer to specify the address.

 (6) afs_find_server(), afs_compare_fs_alists() and afs_merge_fs_addr[46]{}
     now do peer pointer comparison rather than address comparison.

Fix RTT determination to be able to use any type of ACK as the response
from which RTT can be calculated provided its ack.serial is non-zero and
matches the serial number of an outgoing DATA or ACK packet.  This
shouldn't be limited to REQUESTED-type ACKs as these can have other types
substituted for them for things like duplicate or out-of-order packets.

<title>rxrpc: Fix overproduction of wakeups to recvmsg()</title>
<updated>2023-02-20T07:33:25+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>David Howells</name>
<email>dhowells@redhat.com</email>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=c078381856230f1e8e13738661d83c2b4b433819'/>
<id>c078381856230f1e8e13738661d83c2b4b433819</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix three cases of overproduction of wakeups:

 (1) rxrpc_input_split_jumbo() conditionally notifies the app that there's
     data for recvmsg() to collect if it queues some data - and then its
     only caller, rxrpc_input_data(), goes and wakes up recvmsg() anyway.

     Fix the rxrpc_input_data() to only do the wakeup in failure cases.

 (2) If a DATA packet is received for a call by the I/O thread whilst
     recvmsg() is busy draining the call's rx queue in the app thread, the
     call will left on the recvmsg() queue for recvmsg() to pick up, even
     though there isn't any data on it.

     This can cause an unexpected recvmsg() with a 0 return and no MSG_EOR
     set after the reply has been posted to a service call.

     Fix this by discarding pending calls from the recvmsg() queue that
     don't need servicing yet.

 (3) Not-yet-completed calls get requeued after having data read from them,
     even if they have no data to read.

     Fix this by only requeuing them if they have data waiting on them; if
     they don't, the I/O thread will requeue them when data arrives or they
     fail.

Change the rx_packet tracepoint to display the securityIndex from the
packet header instead of displaying the type in numeric form.  There's no
need for the latter, as the display of the type in symbolic form will fall
back automatically to displaying the hex value if no symbol is available.

Now that general ACK transmission is done from the same thread as incoming
DATA packet wrangling, there's no possibility that the SACK table will be
being updated by the latter whilst the former is trying to copy it to an
ACK.

This means that we can safely rotate the SACK table whilst updating it
without having to take a lock, rather than keeping all the bits inside it
in fixed place and copying and then rotating it in the transmitter.

Therefore, simplify SACK handing by keeping track of starting point in the
ring and rotate slots down as we consume them.

When doing a call that has a single transmitted data packet and a massive
amount of received data packets, we only ping for one RTT sample, which
means we don't get a good reading on it.

Fix this by converting occasional IDLE ACKs into PING ACKs to elicit a
response.
