rxrpc: Move some miscellaneous bits out into their own file Move some miscellaneous bits out into their own file to make it easier to split the call handling. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.

rxrpc: Correctly initialise, limit and transmit call->rx_winsize call->rx_winsize should be initialised to the sysctl setting and the sysctl setting should be limited to the maximum we want to permit. Further, we need to place this in the ACK info instead of the sysctl setting. Furthermore, discard the idea of accepting the subpackets of a jumbo packet that lie beyond the receive window when the first packet of the jumbo is within the window. Just discard the excess subpackets instead. This allows the receive window to be opened up right to the buffer size less one for the dead slot. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

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.

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.
