b54a134a7d rxrpc: Fix handling of enums-to-string translation in tracing
Fix the way enum values are translated into strings in AF_RXRPC
tracepoints.  The problem with just doing a lookup in a normal flat array
of strings or chars is that external tracing infrastructure can't find it.
Rather, TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM must be used.

Also sort the enums and string tables to make it easier to keep them in
order so that a future patch to __print_symbolic() can be optimised to try
a direct lookup into the table first before iterating over it.

A couple of _proto() macro calls are removed because they refered to tables
that got moved to the tracing infrastructure.  The relevant data can be
found by way of tracing.

9749fd2bea rxrpc: Need to produce an ACK for service op if op takes a long time
We need to generate a DELAY ACK from the service end of an operation if we
start doing the actual operation work and it takes longer than expected.
This will hard-ACK the request data and allow the client to release its
resources.

To make this work:

 (1) We have to set the ack timer and propose an ACK when the call moves to
     the RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_ACK_REQUEST and clear the pending ACK and cancel
     the timer when we start transmitting the reply (the first DATA packet
     of the reply implicitly ACKs the request phase).

 (2) It must be possible to set the timer when the caller is holding
     call->state_lock, so split the lock-getting part of the timer function
     out.

 (3) Add trace notes for the ACK we're requesting and the timer we clear.

a5af7e1fc6 rxrpc: Fix loss of PING RESPONSE ACK production due to PING ACKs
Separate the output of PING ACKs from the output of other sorts of ACK so
that if we receive a PING ACK and schedule transmission of a PING RESPONSE
ACK, the response doesn't get cancelled by a PING ACK we happen to be
scheduling transmission of at the same time.

If a PING RESPONSE gets lost, the other side might just sit there waiting
for it and refuse to proceed otherwise.

a1767077b0 rxrpc: Make Tx loss-injection go through normal return and adjust tracing
In rxrpc_send_data_packet() make the loss-injection path return through the
same code as the transmission path so that the RTT determination is
initiated and any future timer shuffling will be done, despite the packet
having been binned.

Whilst we're at it:

 (1) Add to the tx_data tracepoint an indication of whether or not we're
     retransmitting a data packet.

 (2) When we're deciding whether or not to request an ACK, rather than
     checking if we're in fast-retransmit mode check instead if we're
     retransmitting.

 (3) Don't invoke the lose_skb tracepoint when losing a Tx packet as we're
     not altering the sk_buff refcount nor are we just seeing it after
     getting it off the Tx list.

 (4) The rxrpc_skb_tx_lost note is then no longer used so remove it.

 (5) rxrpc_lose_skb() no longer needs to deal with rxrpc_skb_tx_lost.

57494343cb rxrpc: Implement slow-start
Implement RxRPC slow-start, which is similar to RFC 5681 for TCP.  A
tracepoint is added to log the state of the congestion management algorithm
and the decisions it makes.

Notes:

 (1) Since we send fixed-size DATA packets (apart from the final packet in
     each phase), counters and calculations are in terms of packets rather
     than bytes.

 (2) The ACK packet carries the equivalent of TCP SACK.

 (3) The FLIGHT_SIZE calculation in RFC 5681 doesn't seem particularly
     suited to SACK of a small number of packets.  It seems that, almost
     inevitably, by the time three 'duplicate' ACKs have been seen, we have
     narrowed the loss down to one or two missing packets, and the
     FLIGHT_SIZE calculation ends up as 2.

 (4) In rxrpc_resend(), if there was no data that apparently needed
     retransmission, we transmit a PING ACK to ask the peer to tell us what
     its Rx window state is.

0d967960d3 rxrpc: Schedule an ACK if the reply to a client call appears overdue
If we've sent all the request data in a client call but haven't seen any
sign of the reply data yet, schedule an ACK to be sent to the server to
find out if the reply data got lost.

If the server hasn't yet hard-ACK'd the request data, we send a PING ACK to
demand a response to find out whether we need to retransmit.

If the server says it has received all of the data, we send an IDLE ACK to
tell the server that we haven't received anything in the receive phase as
yet.

To make this work, a non-immediate PING ACK must carry a delay.  I've chosen
the same as the IDLE ACK for the moment.

70790dbe3f rxrpc: Pass the last Tx packet marker in the annotation buffer
When the last packet of data to be transmitted on a call is queued, tx_top
is set and then the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag is set.  Unfortunately, this
leaves a race in the ACK processing side of things because the flag affects
the interpretation of tx_top and also allows us to start receiving reply
data before we've finished transmitting.

To fix this, make the following changes:

 (1) rxrpc_queue_packet() now sets a marker in the annotation buffer
     instead of setting the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag.

 (2) rxrpc_rotate_tx_window() detects the marker and sets the flag in the
     same context as the routines that use it.

 (3) rxrpc_end_tx_phase() is simplified to just shift the call state.
     The Tx window must have been rotated before calling to discard the
     last packet.

 (4) rxrpc_receiving_reply() is added to handle the arrival of the first
     DATA packet of a reply to a client call (which is an implicit ACK of
     the Tx phase).

 (5) The last part of rxrpc_input_ack() is reordered to perform Tx
     rotation, then soft-ACK application and then to end the phase if we've
     rotated the last packet.  In the event of a terminal ACK, the soft-ACK
     application will be skipped as nAcks should be 0.

 (6) rxrpc_input_ackall() now has to rotate as well as ending the phase.

In addition:

 (7) Alter the transmit tracepoint to log the rotation of the last packet.

 (8) Remove the no-longer relevant queue_reqack tracepoint note.  The
     ACK-REQUESTED packet header flag is now set as needed when we actually
     transmit the packet and may vary by retransmission.

50235c4b5a rxrpc: Obtain RTT data by requesting ACKs on DATA packets
In addition to sending a PING ACK to gain RTT data, we can set the
RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK flag on a DATA packet and get a REQUESTED-ACK ACK.  The
ACK packet contains the serial number of the packet it is in response to,
so we can look through the Tx buffer for a matching DATA packet.

This requires that the data packets be stamped with the time of
transmission as a ktime rather than having the resend_at time in jiffies.

This further requires the resend code to do the resend determination in
ktimes and convert to jiffies to set the timer.

8e83134db4 rxrpc: Send pings to get RTT data
Send a PING ACK packet to the peer when we get a new incoming call from a
peer we don't have a record for.  The PING RESPONSE ACK packet will tell us
the following about the peer:

 (1) its receive window size

 (2) its MTU sizes

 (3) its support for jumbo DATA packets

 (4) if it supports slow start (similar to RFC 5681)

 (5) an estimate of the RTT

This is necessary because the peer won't normally send us an ACK until it
gets to the Rx phase and we send it a packet, but we would like to know
some of this information before we start sending packets.

A pair of tracepoints are added so that RTT determination can be observed.

71f3ca408f rxrpc: Improve skb tracing
Improve sk_buff tracing within AF_RXRPC by the following means:

 (1) Use an enum to note the event type rather than plain integers and use
     an array of event names rather than a big multi ?: list.

 (2) Distinguish Rx from Tx packets and account them separately.  This
     requires the call phase to be tracked so that we know what we might
     find in rxtx_buffer[].

 (3) Add a parameter to rxrpc_{new,see,get,free}_skb() to indicate the
     event type.

 (4) A pair of 'rotate' events are added to indicate packets that are about
     to be rotated out of the Rx and Tx windows.

 (5) A pair of 'lost' events are added, along with rxrpc_lose_skb() for
     packet loss injection recording.

248f219cb8 rxrpc: Rewrite the data and ack handling code
Rewrite the data and ack handling code such that:

 (1) Parsing of received ACK and ABORT packets and the distribution and the
     filing of DATA packets happens entirely within the data_ready context
     called from the UDP socket.  This allows us to process and discard ACK
     and ABORT packets much more quickly (they're no longer stashed on a
     queue for a background thread to process).

 (2) We avoid calling skb_clone(), pskb_pull() and pskb_trim().  We instead
     keep track of the offset and length of the content of each packet in
     the sk_buff metadata.  This means we don't do any allocation in the
     receive path.

 (3) Jumbo DATA packet parsing is now done in data_ready context.  Rather
     than cloning the packet once for each subpacket and pulling/trimming
     it, we file the packet multiple times with an annotation for each
     indicating which subpacket is there.  From that we can directly
     calculate the offset and length.

 (4) A call's receive queue can be accessed without taking locks (memory
     barriers do have to be used, though).

 (5) Incoming calls are set up from preallocated resources and immediately
     made live.  They can than have packets queued upon them and ACKs
     generated.  If insufficient resources exist, DATA packet #1 is given a
     BUSY reply and other DATA packets are discarded).

 (6) sk_buffs no longer take a ref on their parent call.

To make this work, the following changes are made:

 (1) Each call's receive buffer is now a circular buffer of sk_buff
     pointers (rxtx_buffer) rather than a number of sk_buff_heads spread
     between the call and the socket.  This permits each sk_buff to be in
     the buffer multiple times.  The receive buffer is reused for the
     transmit buffer.

 (2) A circular buffer of annotations (rxtx_annotations) is kept parallel
     to the data buffer.  Transmission phase annotations indicate whether a
     buffered packet has been ACK'd or not and whether it needs
     retransmission.

     Receive phase annotations indicate whether a slot holds a whole packet
     or a jumbo subpacket and, if the latter, which subpacket.  They also
     note whether the packet has been decrypted in place.

 (3) DATA packet window tracking is much simplified.  Each phase has just
     two numbers representing the window (rx_hard_ack/rx_top and
     tx_hard_ack/tx_top).

     The hard_ack number is the sequence number before base of the window,
     representing the last packet the other side says it has consumed.
     hard_ack starts from 0 and the first packet is sequence number 1.

     The top number is the sequence number of the highest-numbered packet
     residing in the buffer.  Packets between hard_ack+1 and top are
     soft-ACK'd to indicate they've been received, but not yet consumed.

     Four macros, before(), before_eq(), after() and after_eq() are added
     to compare sequence numbers within the window.  This allows for the
     top of the window to wrap when the hard-ack sequence number gets close
     to the limit.

     Two flags, RXRPC_CALL_RX_LAST and RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST, are added also
     to indicate when rx_top and tx_top point at the packets with the
     LAST_PACKET bit set, indicating the end of the phase.

 (4) Calls are queued on the socket 'receive queue' rather than packets.
     This means that we don't need have to invent dummy packets to queue to
     indicate abnormal/terminal states and we don't have to keep metadata
     packets (such as ABORTs) around

 (5) The offset and length of a (sub)packet's content are now passed to
     the verify_packet security op.  This is currently expected to decrypt
     the packet in place and validate it.

     However, there's now nowhere to store the revised offset and length of
     the actual data within the decrypted blob (there may be a header and
     padding to skip) because an sk_buff may represent multiple packets, so
     a locate_data security op is added to retrieve these details from the
     sk_buff content when needed.

 (6) recvmsg() now has to handle jumbo subpackets, where each subpacket is
     individually secured and needs to be individually decrypted.  The code
     to do this is broken out into rxrpc_recvmsg_data() and shared with the
     kernel API.  It now iterates over the call's receive buffer rather
     than walking the socket receive queue.

Additional changes:

 (1) The timers are condensed to a single timer that is set for the soonest
     of three timeouts (delayed ACK generation, DATA retransmission and
     call lifespan).

 (2) Transmission of ACK and ABORT packets is effected immediately from
     process-context socket ops/kernel API calls that cause them instead of
     them being punted off to a background work item.  The data_ready
     handler still has to defer to the background, though.

 (3) A shutdown op is added to the AF_RXRPC socket so that the AFS
     filesystem can shut down the socket and flush its own work items
     before closing the socket to deal with any in-progress service calls.

Future additional changes that will need to be considered:

 (1) Make sure that a call doesn't hog the front of the queue by receiving
     data from the network as fast as userspace is consuming it to the
     exclusion of other calls.

 (2) Transmit delayed ACKs from within recvmsg() when we've consumed
     sufficiently more packets to avoid the background work item needing to
     run.

0e119b41b7 rxrpc: Limit the listening backlog
Limit the socket incoming call backlog queue size so that a remote client
can't pump in sufficient new calls that the server runs out of memory.  Note
that this is partially theoretical at the moment since whilst the number of
calls is limited, the number of packets trying to set up new calls is not.
This will be addressed in a later patch.

If the caller of listen() specifies a backlog INT_MAX, then they get the
current maximum; anything else greater than max_backlog or anything
negative incurs EINVAL.

The limit on the maximum queue size can be set by:

	echo N >/proc/sys/net/rxrpc/max_backlog

where 4<=N<=32.

Further, set the default backlog to 0, requiring listen() to be called
before we start actually queueing new calls.  Whilst this kind of is a
change in the UAPI, the caller can't actually *accept* new calls anyway
unless they've first called listen() to put the socket into the LISTENING
state - thus the aforementioned new calls would otherwise just sit there,
eating up kernel memory.  (Note that sockets that don't have a non-zero
service ID bound don't get incoming calls anyway.)

Given that the default backlog is now 0, make the AFS filesystem call
kernel_listen() to set the maximum backlog for itself.

Possible improvements include:

 (1) Trimming a too-large backlog to max_backlog when listen is called.

 (2) Trimming the backlog value whenever the value is used so that changes
     to max_backlog are applied to an open socket automatically.  Note that
     the AFS filesystem opens one socket and keeps it open for extended
     periods, so would miss out on changes to max_backlog.

 (3) Having a separate setting for the AFS filesystem.
