When an rxrpc call is in its transmission phase and is sending a lot of
packets, stalls occasionally occur that cause severe performance
degradation (eg. increasing the transmission time for a 256MiB payload from
0.7s to 2.5s over a 10G link).
rxrpc already implements TCP-style congestion control [RFC5681] and this
helps mitigate the effects, but occasionally we're missing a time event
that deals with a missing ACK, leading to a stall until the RTO expires.
Fix this by implementing RACK/TLP in rxrpc.

Manage the determination of RTT on a per-call (ie. per-RPC op) basis rather
than on a per-peer basis, averaging across all calls going to that peer.
The problem is that the RTT measurements from the initial packets on a call
may be off because the server may do some setting up (such as getting a
lock on a file) before accepting the rest of the data in the RPC and,
further, the RTT may be affected by server-side file operations, for
instance if a large amount of data is being written or read.
Note: When handling the FS.StoreData-type RPCs, for example, the server
uses the userStatus field in the header of ACK packets as supplementary
flow control to aid in managing this. AF_RXRPC does not yet support this,
but it should be added.

Add an indicator to the rxrpc_tx_data tracepoint to indicate what triggered
the transmission of a particular packet. At this point, it's only normal
transmission and retransmission, plus the tracepoint is also used to record
loss injection, but in a future patch, TLP-induced (re-)transmission will
also be a thing.

Send jumbo DATA packets if the path-MTU probing using padded PING ACK
packets shows up sufficient capacity to do so. This allows larger chunks
of data to be sent without reducing the retryability as the subpackets in a
jumbo packet can also be retransmitted individually.

Make the following changes to the calculation and use of RTO:
(1) Fix rxrpc_resend() to use the backed-off RTO value obtained by calling
rxrpc_get_rto_backoff() rather than extracting the value itself.
Without this, it may retransmit packets too early.
(2) The RTO value being similar to the RTT causes a lot of extraneous
resends because the RTT doesn't end up taking account of clearing out
of the receive queue on the server. Worse, responses to PING-ACKs are
made as fast as possible and so are less than the DATA-requested-ACK
RTT and so skew the RTT down.
Fix this by putting a lower bound on the RTO by adding 100ms to it and
limiting the lower end to 200ms.

Store the serial number set on a DATA packet at the point of transmission
in the rxrpc_txqueue struct and when an ACK is received, match the
reference number in the ACK by trawling the txqueue rather than sharing an
RTT table with ACK RTT. This can be done as part of Tx queue rotation.
This means we have a lot more RTT samples available and is faster to search
with all the serial numbers packed together into a few cachelines rather
than being hung off different txbufs.

With the change in the structure of the transmission buffer to store
buffers in bunches of 32 or 64 (BITS_PER_LONG) we can place sets of
per-buffer flags into the rxrpc_tx_queue struct rather than storing them in
rxrpc_tx_buf, thereby vastly increasing efficiency when assessing the SACK
table in an ACK packet.

Now that packets are removed from the Tx queue in the rotation function
rather than being cleaned up later, call->acks_hard_ack now advances in
step with call->tx_bottom, so remove it.
Some of the places call->acks_hard_ack is used in the rxrpc tracepoints are
replaced by call->acks_first_seq instead as that's the peer's reported idea
of the hard-ACK point.

We need to scan the buffers in the transmission queue occasionally when
processing ACKs, but the transmission queue is currently a linked list of
transmission buffers which, when we eventually expand the Tx window to 8192
packets will be very slow to walk.
Instead, pull the fields we need to examine a lot (last sent time,
retransmitted flag) into a new struct rxrpc_txqueue and make each one hold
an array of 32 or 64 packets.
The transmission queue is then a list of these structs, each pointing to a
contiguous set of packets. Scanning is then a lot faster as the flags and
timestamps are concentrated in the CPU dcache.
The transmission timestamps are stored as a number of microseconds from a
base ktime to reduce memory requirements. This should be fine provided we
manage to transmit an entire buffer within an hour.
This will make implementing RACK-TLP [RFC8985] easier as it will be less
costly to scan the transmission buffers.

Starvation can happen in the rxrpc I/O thread because it goes back to the
top of the I/O loop after it does any one thing without trying to give any
other connection or call CPU time. Also, because it processes one call
packet at a time, it tries to do the retransmission loop after each ACK
without checking to see if there are other ACKs already in the queue that
can update the SACK state.
Fix this by:
(1) Add a received-packet queue on each call.
(2) Distribute packets from the master Rx queue to the individual call,
conn and error queues and 'poking' calls to add them to the attend
queue first thing in the I/O thread.
(3) Go through all the attention-seeking connections and calls before
going back to the top of the I/O thread. Each queue is extracted as a
whole and then gone through so that new additions to insert themselves
into the queue.
(4) Make the call event handler go through all the packets currently on
the call's rx_queue before transmitting and retransmitting DATA
packets.
(5) Drop the skb argument from the call event handler as this is now
replaced with the rx_queue. Instead, keep track of whether we
received a packet or an ACK for the tests that used to rely on that.

Implement path-MTU probing (along the lines of RFC8899) by padding some of
the PING ACKs we send. PING ACKs get their own individual responses quite
apart from the acking of data (though, as ACKs, they fulfil that role
also).
The probing concentrates on packet sizes that correspond how many
subpackets can be stuffed inside a jumbo packet as jumbo DATA packets are
just aggregations of individual DATA packets and can be split easily for
retransmission purposes.
If we want to perform probing, we advertise this by setting the maximum
number of jumbo subpackets to 0 in the ack trailer when we send an ACK and
see if the peer is also advertising the service. This is interpreted by
non-supporting Rx stacks as an indication that jumbo packets aren't
supported.
The MTU sizes advertised in the ACK trailer AF_RXRPC transmits are pegged
at a maximum of 1444 unless pmtud is supported by both sides.

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.

Tidy up the abort generation infrastructure in the following ways:
(1) Create an enum and string mapping table to list the reasons an abort
might be generated in tracing.
(2) Replace the 3-char string with the values from (1) in the places that
use that to log the abort source. This gets rid of a memcpy() in the
tracepoint.
(3) Subsume the rxrpc_rx_eproto tracepoint with the rxrpc_abort tracepoint
and use values from (1) to indicate the trace reason.
(4) Always make a call to an abort function at the point of the abort
rather than stashing the values into variables and using goto to get
to a place where it reported. The C optimiser will collapse the calls
together as appropriate. The abort functions return a value that can
be returned directly if appropriate.
Note that this extends into afs also at the points where that generates an
abort. To aid with this, the afs sources need to #define
RXRPC_TRACE_ONLY_DEFINE_ENUMS before including the rxrpc tracing header
because they don't have access to the rxrpc internal structures that some
of the tracepoints make use of.

Only perform call disconnection in the I/O thread to reduce the locking
requirement.
This is the first part of a fix for a race that exists between call
connection and call disconnection whereby the data transmission code adds
the call to the peer error distribution list after the call has been
disconnected (say by the rxrpc socket getting closed).
The fix is to complete the process of moving call connection, data
transmission and call disconnection into the I/O thread and thus forcibly
serialising them.
Note that the issue may predate the overhaul to an I/O thread model that
were included in the merge window for v6.2, but the timing is very much
changed by the change given below.

cut the cwnd, preventing further transmission, and each subsequent one cuts
the cwnd yet further, reducing it to the floor and killing performance.

Move the functions from the call->processor and local->processor work items
into the domain of the I/O thread.
The call event processor, now called from the I/O thread, then takes over
the job of cranking the call state machine, processing incoming packets and
transmitting DATA, ACK and ABORT packets. In a future patch,
rxrpc_send_ACK() will transmit the ACK on the spot rather than queuing it
for later transmission.
The call event processor becomes purely received-skb driven. It only
transmits things in response to events. We use "pokes" to queue a dummy
skb to make it do things like start/resume transmitting data. Timer expiry
also results in pokes.
The connection event processor, becomes similar, though crypto events, such
as dealing with CHALLENGE and RESPONSE packets is offloaded to a work item
to avoid doing crypto in the I/O thread.
The local event processor is removed and VERSION response packets are
generated directly from the packet parser. Similarly, ABORTs generated in
response to protocol errors will be transmitted immediately rather than
being pushed onto a queue for later transmission.

Move DATA transmission into the call processor work item. In a future
patch, this will be called from the I/O thread rather than being itsown
work item.
This will allow DATA transmission to be driven directly by incoming ACKs,
pokes and timers as those are processed.
The Tx queue is also split: The queue of packets prepared by sendmsg is now
places in call->tx_sendmsg and the packet dispatcher decants the packets
into call->tx_buffer as space becomes available in the transmission
window. This allows sendmsg to run ahead of the available space to try and
prevent an underflow in transmission.

Split the packet input handler to make the softirq side just dump the
received packet into the local endpoint receive queue and then call the
remainder of the input function from the I/O thread.

Currently, rxrpc gives the call timer a ref on the call when it starts it
and this is passed along to the workqueue by the timer expiration function.
The problem comes when queue_work() fails (ie. the work item is already
queued): the timer routine must put the ref - but this may cause the
cleanup code to run.
This has the unfortunate effect that the cleanup code may then be run in
softirq context - which means that any spinlocks it might need to touch
have to be guarded to disable softirqs (ie. they need a "_bh" suffix).
Fix this by:
(1) Don't give a ref to the timer.
(2) Making the expiration function not do anything if the refcount is 0.
Note that this is more of an optimisation.
(3) Make sure that the cleanup routine waits for timer to complete.
However, this has a consequence that timer cannot give a ref to the work
item. Therefore the following fixes are also necessary:
(4) Don't give a ref to the work item.
(5) Make the work item return asap if it sees the ref count is 0.
(6) Make sure that the cleanup routine waits for the work item to
complete.
Unfortunately, neither the timer nor the work item can simply get around
the problem by just using refcount_inc_not_zero() as the waits would still
have to be done, and there would still be the possibility of having to put
the ref in the expiration function.
Note the call work item is going to go away with the work being transferred
to the I/O thread, so the wait in (6) will become obsolete.

When retransmitting a packet, rxrpc_resend() shouldn't be attaching a ref
to the call to the txbuf as that pins the call and prevents the call from
clearing the packet buffer.

Improve the tracking of which packets need to be transmitted by saving the
last ACK packet that we receive that has a populated soft-ACK table rather
than marking packets. Then we can step through the soft-ACK table and look
at the packets we've transmitted beyond that to determine which packets we
might want to retransmit.
We also look at the highest serial number that has been acked to try and
guess which packets we've transmitted the peer is likely to have seen. If
necessary, we send a ping to retrieve that number.
One downside that might be a problem is that we can't then compare the
previous acked/unacked state so easily in rxrpc_input_soft_acks() - which
is a potential problem for the slow-start algorithm.

Change the way the Tx queueing works to make the following ends easier to
achieve:
(1) The filling of packets, the encryption of packets and the transmission
of packets can be handled in parallel by separate threads, rather than
rxrpc_sendmsg() allocating, filling, encrypting and transmitting each
packet before moving onto the next one.
(2) Get rid of the fixed-size ring which sets a hard limit on the number
of packets that can be retained in the ring. This allows the number
of packets to increase without having to allocate a very large ring or
having variable-sized rings.
[Note: the downside of this is that it's then less efficient to locate
a packet for retransmission as we then have to step through a list and
examine each buffer in the list.]
(3) Allow the filler/encrypter to run ahead of the transmission window.
(4) Make it easier to do zero copy UDP from the packet buffers.
(5) Make it easier to do zero copy from userspace to the packet buffers -
and thence to UDP (only if for unauthenticated connections).
To that end, the following changes are made:
(1) Use the new rxrpc_txbuf struct instead of sk_buff for keeping packets
to be transmitted in. This allows them to be placed on multiple
queues simultaneously. An sk_buff isn't really necessary as it's
never passed on to lower-level networking code.
(2) Keep the transmissable packets in a linked list on the call struct
rather than in a ring. As a consequence, the annotation buffer isn't
used either; rather a flag is set on the packet to indicate ackedness.
(3) Use the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag to indicate that the last packet to be
transmitted has been queued. Add RXRPC_CALL_TX_ALL_ACKED to indicate
that all packets up to and including the last got hard acked.
(4) Wire headers are now stored in the txbuf rather than being concocted
on the stack and they're stored immediately before the data, thereby
allowing zerocopy of a single span.
(5) Don't bother with instant-resend on transmission failure; rather,
leave it for a timer or an ACK packet to trigger.
