David,
I do not believe the ack_reason matters within rxrpc_input_ack(). As
long as the acked_serial is non-zero,
rxrpc_complete_rtt_probe() can be called to attempt to compute an RTT.
If there is an exact match for the
acked_serial then an RTT can be computed and if acked_serial is later
than the pending rtt probe, the probe
can be abandoned with the following caveats.
1. Receiving an acked_serial that is later than the serial of the
transmitted probe indicates that a packet
transmitted after the probe was received first. Or that reordering
of the transmitted packets occurred.
Or that the probe was never received by the peer; or that the peer's
response to the probe was lost in
transit.
2. The serial number namespace is unsigned 32-bit shared across all of
the call channels of the associated
rx connection. As the serial numbers will wrap the use of after()
within rxrpc_complete_rtt_probe to
compare their values is questionable. If serial numbers will be
compared in this manner then they
need to be locally tracked and compared as unsigned 64-bit values
where only the low 32-bits are
transmitted on the wire and any wire serial number equal to zero is
ignored.
