<content type='text'>
Rewrite the rxrpc client connection manager so that it can support multiple
connections for a given security key to a peer.  The following changes are
made:

 (1) For each open socket, the code currently maintains an rbtree with the
     connections placed into it, keyed by communications parameters.  This
     is tricky to maintain as connections can be culled from the tree or
     replaced within it.  Connections can require replacement for a number
     of reasons, e.g. their IDs span too great a range for the IDR data
     type to represent efficiently, the call ID numbers on that conn would
     overflow or the conn got aborted.

     This is changed so that there's now a connection bundle object placed
     in the tree, keyed on the same parameters.  The bundle, however, does
     not need to be replaced.

 (2) An rxrpc_bundle object can now manage the available channels for a set
     of parallel connections.  The lock that manages this is moved there
     from the rxrpc_connection struct (channel_lock).

 (3) There'a a dummy bundle for all incoming connections to share so that
     they have a channel_lock too.  It might be better to give each
     incoming connection its own bundle.  This bundle is not needed to
     manage which channels incoming calls are made on because that's the
     solely at whim of the client.

 (4) The restrictions on how many client connections are around are
     removed.  Instead, a previous patch limits the number of client calls
     that can be allocated.  Ordinarily, client connections are reaped
     after 2 minutes on the idle queue, but when more than a certain number
     of connections are in existence, the reaper starts reaping them after
     2s of idleness instead to get the numbers back down.

     It could also be made such that new call allocations are forced to
     wait until the number of outstanding connections subsides.

<title>rxrpc: Fix loss of RTT samples due to interposed ACK</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/commit/?id=4700c4d80b7bb171f6996016ef121e1508860b42'/>
<id>urn:sha1:4700c4d80b7bb171f6996016ef121e1508860b42</id>
<content type='text'>
The Rx protocol has a mechanism to help generate RTT samples that works by
a client transmitting a REQUESTED-type ACK when it receives a DATA packet
that has the REQUEST_ACK flag set.

The peer, however, may interpose other ACKs before transmitting the
REQUESTED-ACK, as can be seen in the following trace excerpt:

 rxrpc_tx_data: c=00000044 DATA d0b5ece8:00000001 00000001 q=00000001 fl=07
 rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000001 PNG r=00000000 f=00000002 p=00000000 n=0
 rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000002 REQ r=00000001 f=00000002 p=00000001 n=0
 ...

DATA packet 1 (q=xx) has REQUEST_ACK set (bit 1 of fl=xx).  The incoming
ping (labelled PNG) hard-acks the request DATA packet (f=xx exceeds the
sequence number of the DATA packet), causing it to be discarded from the Tx
ring.  The ACK that was requested (labelled REQ, r=xx references the serial
of the DATA packet) comes after the ping, but the sk_buff holding the
timestamp has gone and the RTT sample is lost.

This is particularly noticeable on RPC calls used to probe the service
offered by the peer.  A lot of peers end up with an unknown RTT because we
only ever sent a single RPC.  This confuses the server rotation algorithm.

Fix this by caching the information about the outgoing packet in RTT
calculations in the rxrpc_call struct rather than looking in the Tx ring.

A four-deep buffer is maintained and both REQUEST_ACK-flagged DATA and
PING-ACK transmissions are recorded in there.  When the appropriate
response ACK is received, the buffer is checked for a match and, if found,
an RTT sample is recorded.

If a received ACK refers to a packet with a later serial number than an
entry in the cache, that entry is presumed lost and the entry is made
available to record a new transmission.

ACKs types other than REQUESTED-type and PING-type cause any matching
sample to be cancelled as they don't necessarily represent a useful
measurement.

If there's no space in the buffer on ping/data transmission, the sample
base is discarded.

<title>rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/commit/?id=c410bf01933e5e09d142c66c3df9ad470a7eec13'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c410bf01933e5e09d142c66c3df9ad470a7eec13</id>
<content type='text'>
rxrpc currently uses a fixed 4s retransmission timeout until the RTT is
sufficiently sampled.  This can cause problems with some fileservers with
calls to the cache manager in the afs filesystem being dropped from the
fileserver because a packet goes missing and the retransmission timeout is
greater than the call expiry timeout.

Fix this by:

 (1) Copying the RTT/RTO calculation code from Linux's TCP implementation
     and altering it to fit rxrpc.

 (2) Altering the various users of the RTT to make use of the new SRTT
     value.

 (3) Replacing the use of rxrpc_resend_timeout to use the calculated RTO
     value instead (which is needed in jiffies), along with a backoff.

Notes:

 (1) rxrpc provides RTT samples by matching the serial numbers on outgoing
     DATA packets that have the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK set and PING ACK packets
     against the reference serial number in incoming REQUESTED ACK and
     PING-RESPONSE ACK packets.

 (2) Each packet that is transmitted on an rxrpc connection gets a new
     per-connection serial number, even for retransmissions, so an ACK can
     be cross-referenced to a specific trigger packet.  This allows RTT
     information to be drawn from retransmitted DATA packets also.

 (3) rxrpc maintains the RTT/RTO state on the rxrpc_peer record rather than
     on an rxrpc_call because many RPC calls won't live long enough to
     generate more than one sample.

 (4) The calculated SRTT value is in units of 8ths of a microsecond rather
     than nanoseconds.

The (S)RTT and RTO values are displayed in /proc/net/rxrpc/peers.

<title>rxrpc: Fix DATA Tx to disable nofrag for UDP on AF_INET6 socket</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0e631eee17dcea576ab922fa70e4fdbd596ee452</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix the DATA packet transmission to disable nofrag for UDPv4 on an AF_INET6
socket as well as UDPv6 when trying to transmit fragmentably.

Without this, packets filled to the normal size used by the kernel AFS
client of 1412 bytes be rejected by udp_sendmsg() with EMSGSIZE
immediately.  The -&gt;sk_error_report() notification hook is called, but
rxrpc doesn't generate a trace for it.

This is a temporary fix; a more permanent solution needs to involve
changing the size of the packets being filled in accordance with the MTU,
which isn't currently done in AF_RXRPC.  The reason for not doing so was
that, barring the last packet in an rx jumbo packet, jumbos can only be
assembled out of 1412-byte packets - and the plan was to construct jumbos
on the fly at transmission time.

Also, there's no point turning on IPV6_MTU_DISCOVER, since IPv6 has to
engage in this anyway since fragmentation is only done by the sender.  We
can then condense the switch-statement in rxrpc_send_data_packet().

<content type='text'>
When a call is disconnected, the connection pointer from the call is
cleared to make sure it isn't used again and to prevent further attempted
transmission for the call.  Unfortunately, there might be a daemon trying
to use it at the same time to transmit a packet.

Fix this by keeping call-&gt;conn set, but setting a flag on the call to
indicate disconnection instead.

Remove also the bits in the transmission functions where the conn pointer is
checked and a ref taken under spinlock as this is now redundant.

Use the previously-added transmit-phase skbuff private flag to simplify the
socket buffer tracing a bit.  Which phase the skbuff comes from can now be
divined from the skb rather than having to be guessed from the call state.

We can also reduce the number of rxrpc_skb_trace values by eliminating the
difference between Tx and Rx in the symbols.

Indeed, if the first jump to the send_fragmentable label is made, and
the address family is not handled in the switch() statement, ret will be
used uninitialized.

Fix this by BUG()'ing as is done in other places in rxrpc where internal
support for future address families will need adding.  It should not be
possible to reach this normally as the address families are checked
