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.

Split out the functions that change the state of an rxrpc call into their
own file. The idea being to remove anything to do with changing the state
of a call directly from the rxrpc sendmsg() and recvmsg() paths and have
all that done in the I/O thread only, with the ultimate aim of removing the
state lock entirely. Moving the code out of sendmsg.c and recvmsg.c makes
that easier to manage.

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.

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.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Support network namespacing in AF_RXRPC with the following changes:
(1) All the local endpoint, peer and call lists, locks, counters, etc. are
moved into the per-namespace record.
(2) All the connection tracking is moved into the per-namespace record
with the exception of the client connection ID tree, which is kept
global so that connection IDs are kept unique per-machine.
(3) Each namespace gets its own epoch. This allows each network namespace
to pretend to be a separate client machine.
(4) The /proc/net/rxrpc_xxx files are now called /proc/net/rxrpc/xxx and
the contents reflect the namespace.
fs/afs/ should be okay with this patch as it explicitly requires the current
net namespace to be init_net to permit a mount to proceed at the moment. It
will, however, need updating so that cells, IP addresses and DNS records are
per-namespace also.

Use the IDR facility to allocate client connection IDs on a machine-wide
basis so that each client connection has a unique identifier. When the
connection ID space wraps, we advance the epoch by 1, thereby effectively
having a 62-bit ID space. The IDR facility is then used to look up client
connections during incoming packet routing instead of using an rbtree
rooted on the transport.
This change allows for the removal of the transport in the future and also
means that client connections can be looked up directly in the data-ready
handler by connection ID.
The ID management code is placed in a new file, conn-client.c, to which all
the client connection-specific code will eventually move.
Note that the IDR tree gets very expensive on memory if the connection IDs
are widely scattered throughout the number space, so we shall need to
retire connections that have, say, an ID more than four times the maximum
number of client conns away from the current allocation point to try and
keep the IDs concentrated. We will also need to retire connections from an
old epoch.
Also note that, for the moment, a pointer to the transport has to be passed
through into the ID allocation function so that we can take a BH lock to
prevent a locking issue against in-BH lookup of client connections. This
will go away later when RCU is used for server connections also.

Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Rework peer object handling to use a hash table instead of a flat list and
to use RCU. Peer objects are no longer destroyed by passing them to a
workqueue to process, but rather are just passed to the RCU garbage
collector as kfree'able objects.
The hash function uses the local endpoint plus all the components of the
remote address, except for the RxRPC service ID. Peers thus represent a
UDP port on the remote machine as contacted by a UDP port on this machine.
The RCU read lock is used to handle non-creating lookups so that they can
be called from bottom half context in the sk_error_report handler without
having to lock the hash table against modification.
rxrpc_lookup_peer_rcu() *does* take a reference on the peer object as in
the future, this will be passed to a work item for error distribution in
the error_report path and this function will cease being used in the
data_ready path.
Creating lookups are done under spinlock rather than mutex as they might be
set up due to an external stimulus if the local endpoint is a server.
Captured network error messages (ICMP) are handled with respect to this
struct and MTU size and RTT are cached here.

Rename files matching net/rxrpc/ar-*.c to get rid of the "ar-" prefix.
This will aid splitting those files by making easier to come up with new
names.
Note that the not all files are simply renamed from ar-X.c to X.c. The
following exceptions are made:
(*) ar-call.c -> call_object.c
ar-ack.c -> call_event.c
call_object.c is going to contain the core of the call object
handling. Call event handling is all going to be in call_event.c.
(*) ar-accept.c -> call_accept.c
Incoming call handling is going to be here.
(*) ar-connection.c -> conn_object.c
ar-connevent.c -> conn_event.c
The former file is going to have the basic connection object handling,
but there will likely be some differentiation between client
connections and service connections in additional files later. The
latter file will have all the connection-level event handling.
(*) ar-local.c -> local_object.c
This will have the local endpoint object handling code. The local
endpoint event handling code will later be split out into
local_event.c.
(*) ar-peer.c -> peer_object.c
This will have the peer endpoint object handling code. Peer event
handling code will be placed in peer_event.c (for the moment, there is
none).
(*) ar-error.c -> peer_event.c
This will become the peer event handling code, though for the moment
it's actually driven from the local endpoint's perspective.
Note that I haven't renamed ar-transport.c to transport_object.c as the
intention is to delete it when the rxrpc_transport struct is excised.
The only file that actually has its contents changed is net/rxrpc/Makefile.
net/rxrpc/ar-internal.h will need its section marker comments updating, but
I'll do that in a separate patch to make it easier for git to follow the
history across the rename. I may also want to rename ar-internal.h at some
point - but that would mean updating all the #includes and I'd rather do
that in a separate step.

Absorb the rxkad security module into the af_rxrpc module so that there's

af_rxrpc and cached connections pin rxkad but can't be manually evicted

With this change, af_rxrpc can just be unloaded, despite having cached
