rxrpc: Only transmit one ACK per jumbo packet received

2024-05-08T15:05:03+00:00

Only generate one ACK packet for all the subpackets in a jumbo packet.  If
we would like to generate more than one ACK, we prioritise them base on
their reason code, in the order, highest first:

   OutOfSeq > NoSpace > ExceedsWin > Duplicate > Requested > Delay > Idle

For the first four, we reference the lowest offending subpacket; for the
last three, the highest.

This reduces the number of ACKs we end up transmitting to one per UDP
packet transmitted to reduce network loading and packet parsing.

rxrpc: Fix congestion control algorithm

2024-05-08T15:05:03+00:00

Make the following fixes to the congestion control algorithm:

 (1) Don't vary the cwnd starting value by the size of RXRPC_TX_SMSS since
     that's currently held constant - set to the size of a jumbo subpacket
     payload so that we can create jumbo packets on the fly.  The current
     code invariably picks 3 as the starting value.

     Further, the starting cwnd needs to be an even number because we ack
     every other packet, so set it to 4.

 (2) Don't cut ssthresh when we see an ACK come from the peer with a
     receive window (rwind) less than ssthresh.  ssthresh keeps track of
     characteristics of the connection whereas rwind may be reduced by the
     peer for any reason - and may be reduced to 0.

rxrpc: Extract useful fields from a received ACK to skb priv data

2024-03-05T23:35:26+00:00

Extract useful fields from a received ACK packet into the skb private data
early on in the process of parsing incoming packets.  This makes the ACK
fields available even before we've matched the ACK up to a call and will
allow us to deal with path MTU discovery probe responses even after the
relevant call has been completed.

rxrpc: Use ktimes for call timeout tracking and set the timer lazily

2024-03-05T23:35:25+00:00

Track the call timeouts as ktimes rather than jiffies as the latter's
granularity is too high and only set the timer at the end of the event
handling function.

rxrpc: Fix the names of the fields in the ACK trailer struct

2024-02-29T15:49:57+00:00

From AFS-3.3 a trailer containing extra info was added to the ACK packet
format - but AF_RXRPC has the names of some of the fields mixed up compared
to other AFS implementations.

Rename the struct and the fields to make them match.

rxrpc: Convert rxrpc_txbuf::flags into a mask and don't use atomics

2024-02-29T15:49:56+00:00

Convert the transmission buffer flags into a mask and use | and & rather
than bitops functions (atomic ops are not required as only the I/O thread
can manipulate them once submitted for transmission).

The bottom byte can then correspond directly to the Rx protocol header
flags.

rxrpc: Fix counting of new acks and nacks

2024-02-05T12:34:07+00:00

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.

rxrpc: Defer the response to a PING ACK until we've parsed it

2023-11-17T02:50:33+00:00

Defer the generation of a PING RESPONSE ACK in response to a PING ACK until
we've parsed the PING ACK so that we pick up any changes to the packet
queue so that we can update ackinfo.

This is also applied to an ACK generated in response to an ACK with the
REQUEST_ACK flag set.

Note that whilst the problem was added in commit 248f219cb8bc, it didn't
really matter at that point because the ACK was proposed in softirq mode
and generated asynchronously later in process context, taking the latest
values at the time.  But this fix is only needed since the move to parse
incoming packets in an I/O thread rather than in softirq and generate the
ACK at point of proposal (b0346843b1076b34a0278ff601f8f287535cb064).

rxrpc: Fix RTT determination to use any ACK as a source

2023-11-17T02:50:33+00:00

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.
