rxrpc: Fix variable overwrite

2017-11-29T14:44:22+00:00

Values assigned to both variable resend_at and ack_at are overwritten
before they can be used.

The correct fix here is to add 'now' to the previously computed value in
resend_at and ack_at.

rxrpc: Add a timeout for detecting lost ACKs/lost DATA

2017-11-24T10:18:42+00:00

Add an extra timeout that is set/updated when we send a DATA packet that
has the request-ack flag set.  This allows us to detect if we don't get an
ACK in response to the latest flagged packet.

The ACK packet is adjudged to have been lost if it doesn't turn up within
2*RTT of the transmission.

If the timeout occurs, we schedule the sending of a PING ACK to find out
the state of the other side.  If a new DATA packet is ready to go sooner,
we cancel the sending of the ping and set the request-ack flag on that
instead.

If we get back a PING-RESPONSE ACK that indicates a lower tx_top than what
we had at the time of the ping transmission, we adjudge all the DATA
packets sent between the response tx_top and the ping-time tx_top to have
been lost and retransmit immediately.

Rather than sending a PING ACK, we could just pick a DATA packet and
speculatively retransmit that with request-ack set.  It should result in
either a REQUESTED ACK or a DUPLICATE ACK which we can then use in lieu the
a PING-RESPONSE ACK mentioned above.

rxrpc: Express protocol timeouts in terms of RTT

2017-11-24T10:18:41+00:00

Express protocol timeouts for data retransmission and deferred ack
generation in terms on RTT rather than specified timeouts once we have
sufficient RTT samples.

For the moment, this requires just one RTT sample to be able to use this
for ack deferral and two for data retransmission.

The data retransmission timeout is set at RTT*1.5 and the ACK deferral
timeout is set at RTT.

Note that the calculated timeout is limited to a minimum of 4ns to make
sure it doesn't happen too quickly.

rxrpc: Fix call timeouts

2017-11-24T10:18:41+00:00

Fix the rxrpc call expiration timeouts and make them settable from
userspace.  By analogy with other rx implementations, there should be three
timeouts:

 (1) "Normal timeout"

     This is set for all calls and is triggered if we haven't received any
     packets from the peer in a while.  It is measured from the last time
     we received any packet on that call.  This is not reset by any
     connection packets (such as CHALLENGE/RESPONSE packets).

     If a service operation takes a long time, the server should generate
     PING ACKs at a duration that's substantially less than the normal
     timeout so is to keep both sides alive.  This is set at 1/6 of normal
     timeout.

 (2) "Idle timeout"

     This is set only for a service call and is triggered if we stop
     receiving the DATA packets that comprise the request data.  It is
     measured from the last time we received a DATA packet.

 (3) "Hard timeout"

     This can be set for a call and specified the maximum lifetime of that
     call.  It should not be specified by default.  Some operations (such
     as volume transfer) take a long time.

Allow userspace to set/change the timeouts on a call with sendmsg, using a
control message:

	RXRPC_SET_CALL_TIMEOUTS

The data to the message is a number of 32-bit words, not all of which need
be given:

	u32 hard_timeout;	/* sec from first packet */
	u32 idle_timeout;	/* msec from packet Rx */
	u32 normal_timeout;	/* msec from data Rx */

This can be set in combination with any other sendmsg() that affects a
call.

rxrpc: Split the call params from the operation params

2017-11-24T10:18:41+00:00

When rxrpc_sendmsg() parses the control message buffer, it places the
parameters extracted into a structure, but lumps together call parameters
(such as user call ID) with operation parameters (such as whether to send
data, send an abort or accept a call).

Split the call parameters out into their own structure, a copy of which is
then embedded in the operation parameters struct.

The call parameters struct is then passed down into the places that need it
instead of passing the individual parameters.  This allows for extra call
parameters to be added.

rxrpc: Don't set upgrade by default in sendmsg()

2017-11-24T10:18:40+00:00

Don't set upgrade by default when creating a call from sendmsg().  This is
a holdover from when I was testing the code.

rxrpc: The mutex lock returned by rxrpc_accept_call() needs releasing

2017-11-24T10:18:40+00:00

The caller of rxrpc_accept_call() must release the lock on call->user_mutex
returned by that function.

rxrpc: Use MSG_WAITALL to tell sendmsg() to temporarily ignore signals

2017-10-18T10:43:07+00:00

Make AF_RXRPC accept MSG_WAITALL as a flag to sendmsg() to tell it to
ignore signals whilst loading up the message queue, provided progress is
being made in emptying the queue at the other side.

Progress is defined as the base of the transmit window having being
advanced within 2 RTT periods.  If the period is exceeded with no progress,
sendmsg() will return anyway, indicating how much data has been copied, if
any.

Once the supplied buffer is entirely decanted, the sendmsg() will return.

rxrpc: Allow failed client calls to be retried

2017-08-29T09:55:20+00:00

Allow a client call that failed on network error to be retried, provided
that the Tx queue still holds DATA packet 1.  This allows an operation to
be submitted to another server or another address for the same server
without having to repackage and re-encrypt the data so far processed.

Two new functions are provided:

 (1) rxrpc_kernel_check_call() - This is used to find out the completion
     state of a call to guess whether it can be retried and whether it
     should be retried.

 (2) rxrpc_kernel_retry_call() - Disconnect the call from its current
     connection, reset the state and submit it as a new client call to a
     new address.  The new address need not match the previous address.

A call may be retried even if all the data hasn't been loaded into it yet;
a partially constructed will be retained at the same point it was at when
an error condition was detected.  msg_data_left() can be used to find out
how much data was packaged before the error occurred.
