2022-12-08afs: Fix fileserver probe RTT handlingDavid Howells
[ Upstream commit ca57f02295f188d6c65ec02202402979880fa6d8 ] The fileserver probing code attempts to work out the best fileserver to use for a volume by retrieving the RTT calculated by AF_RXRPC for the probe call sent to each server and comparing them. Sometimes, however, no RTT estimate is available and rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() returns false, leading good fileservers to be given an RTT of UINT_MAX and thus causing the rotation algorithm to ignore them. Fix afs_select_fileserver() to ignore rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt()'s return value and just take the estimated RTT it provides - which will be capped at 1 second.

2020-09-09rxrpc: Make rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() indicate validityDavid Howells
[ Upstream commit 1d4adfaf65746203861c72d9d78de349eb97d528 ] Fix rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() to indicate the validity of the returned smoothed RTT. If we haven't had any valid samples yet, the SRTT isn't useful.

2020-05-27rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeoutDavid Howells
commit c410bf01933e5e09d142c66c3df9ad470a7eec13 upstream. 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.

2020-04-01afs: Fix unpinned address list during probingDavid Howells
commit 9efcc4a129363187c9bf15338692f107c5c9b6f0 upstream. When it's probing all of a fileserver's interfaces to find which one is best to use, afs_do_probe_fileserver() takes a lock on the server record and notes the pointer to the address list. It doesn't, however, pin the address list, so as soon as it drops the lock, there's nothing to stop the address list from being freed under us. Fix this by taking a ref on the address list inside the locked section and dropping it at the end of the function.

2018-11-29afs: Fix missing net error handlingDavid Howells
kAFS can be given certain network errors (EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and ERFKILL) that it doesn't handle in its server/address rotation algorithms. They cause the probing and rotation to abort immediately rather than rotating. Fix this by: (1) Abstracting out the error prioritisation from the VL and FS rotation algorithms into a common function and expand usage into the server probing code. When multiple errors are available, this code selects the one we'd prefer to return. (2) Add handling for EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and ERFKILL.

2018-10-24afs: Probe multiple fileservers simultaneouslyDavid Howells
Send probes to all the unprobed fileservers in a fileserver list on all addresses simultaneously in an attempt to find out the fastest route whilst not getting stuck for 20s on any server or address that we don't get a reply from. This alleviates the problem whereby attempting to access a new server can take a long time because the rotation algorithm ends up rotating through all servers and addresses until it finds one that responds.
