[ Upstream commit db099c625b13a74d462521a46d98a8ce5b53af5d ]

afs_make_call() calls rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() to begin a call (which may
get stalled in the background waiting for a connection to become
available); it then calls rxrpc_kernel_set_max_life() to set the timeouts -
but that starts the call timer so the call timer might then expire before
we get a connection assigned - leading to the following oops if the call
stalled:

	BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
	...
	CPU: 1 PID: 5111 Comm: krxrpcio/0 Not tainted 6.3.0-rc7-build3+ #701
	RIP: 0010:rxrpc_alloc_txbuf+0xc0/0x157
	...
	Call Trace:
	 &lt;TASK&gt;
	 rxrpc_send_ACK+0x50/0x13b

	 kthread+0xe7/0xef
	 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x1b/0x1b
	 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

Fix this by noting the timeouts in struct rxrpc_call when the call is
created.  The timer will be started when the first packet is transmitted.

It shouldn't be possible to trigger this directly from userspace through
AF_RXRPC as sendmsg() will return EBUSY if the call is in the
waiting-for-conn state if it dropped out of the wait due to a signal.

<title>rxrpc: Tidy up abort generation infrastructure</title>

<id>urn:sha1:57af281e5389b6fefedb3685f86847cbb0055f75</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<id>urn:sha1:75bfdbf2fca372e2709bcaa43e8cf1147766ae96</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement an in-kernel rxperf server to allow kernel-based rxrpc services
to be tested directly, unlike with AFS where they're accessed by the
fileserver when the latter decides it wants to.

This is implemented as a module that, if loaded, opens UDP port 7009
(afs3-rmtsys) and listens on it for incoming calls.  Calls can be generated
using the rxperf command shipped with OpenAFS, for example.

Changes
=======
ver #2)
 - Use min_t() instead of min().

<content type='text'>
Don't truncate the iterator to correspond to the actual data size when
fetching the data from the server - rather, pass the length we want to read
to rxrpc.

This will allow the clear-after-read code in future to simply clear the
remaining iterator capacity rather than having to reinitialise the
iterator.

<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.

Fix the handling of signals in client rxrpc calls made by the afs
filesystem.  Ignore signals completely, leaving call abandonment or
connection loss to be detected by timeouts inside AF_RXRPC.

Allowing a filesystem call to be interrupted after the entire request has
been transmitted and an abort sent means that the server may or may not
have done the action - and we don't know.  It may even be worse than that
for older servers.
