2020-08-20afs: Don't use VL probe running state to make decisions outside probe codeDavid Howells
Don't use the running state for VL server probes to make decisions about which server to use as the state is cleared at the start of a probe and intermediate values might also be misleading. Instead, add a separate 'latest known' rtt in the afs_vlserver struct and a flag to indicate if the server is known to be responding and update these as and when we know what to change them to.

2020-08-20afs: Expose information from afs_vlserver through /proc for debuggingDavid Howells
Convert various bitfields in afs_vlserver::probe to a mask and then expose this and some other bits of information through /proc/net/afs/<cell>/vlservers to make it easier to debug VL server communication issues. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2020-08-20afs: Remove afs_vlserver->probe.have_resultDavid Howells
Remove afs_vlserver->probe.have_result as it's neither read nor waited upon. Fixes: 3bf0fb6f33dd ("afs: Probe multiple fileservers simultaneously") Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2020-08-20rxrpc: Make rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() indicate validityDavid Howells
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. Fixes: c410bf01933e ("rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout") Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2020-05-11rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeoutDavid Howells
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.

2019-05-16afs: Get rid of afs_call::reply[]David Howells
Replace the afs_call::reply[] array with a bunch of typed members so that the compiler can use type-checking on them. It's also easier for the eye to see what's going on. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2019-04-25afs: Split wait from afs_make_call()David Howells
Split the call to afs_wait_for_call_to_complete() from afs_make_call() to make it easier to handle asynchronous calls and to make it easier to convert a synchronous call to an asynchronous one in future, for instance when someone tries to interrupt an operation by pressing Ctrl-C.

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.
