[PATCH net 2/7] rxrpc: Fix loss of RTT samples due to interposed ACK
David Howells

The Rx protocol has a mechanism to help generate RTT samples that works by
a client transmitting a REQUESTED-type ACK when it receives a DATA packet
that has the REQUEST_ACK flag set.
The peer, however, may interpose other ACKs before transmitting the
REQUESTED-ACK, as can be seen in the following trace excerpt:
rxrpc_tx_data: c=00000044 DATA d0b5ece8:00000001 00000001 q=00000001 fl=07
rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000001 PNG r=00000000 f=00000002 p=00000000 n=0
rxrpc_rx_ack: c=00000044 00000002 REQ r=00000001 f=00000002 p=00000001 n=0
...
DATA packet 1 (q=xx) has REQUEST_ACK set (bit 1 of fl=xx). The incoming
ping (labelled PNG) hard-acks the request DATA packet (f=xx exceeds the
sequence number of the DATA packet), causing it to be discarded from the Tx
ring. The ACK that was requested (labelled REQ, r=xx references the serial
of the DATA packet) comes after the ping, but the sk_buff holding the
timestamp has gone and the RTT sample is lost.
This is particularly noticeable on RPC calls used to probe the service
offered by the peer. A lot of peers end up with an unknown RTT because we
only ever sent a single RPC. This confuses the server rotation algorithm.
Fix this by caching the information about the outgoing packet in RTT
calculations in the rxrpc_call struct rather than looking in the Tx ring.
A four-deep buffer is maintained and both REQUEST_ACK-flagged DATA and
PING-ACK transmissions are recorded in there. When the appropriate
response ACK is received, the buffer is checked for a match and, if found,
an RTT sample is recorded.
If a received ACK refers to a packet with a later serial number than an
entry in the cache, that entry is presumed lost and the entry is made
available to record a new transmission.
ACKs types other than REQUESTED-type and PING-type cause any matching
sample to be cancelled as they don't necessarily represent a useful
measurement.
If there's no space in the buffer on ping/data transmission, the sample
base is discarded.
Fixes: 50235c4b5a2f ("rxrpc: Obtain RTT data by requesting ACKs on DATA packets")
