[PATCH net] rxrpc: Fix handling of call quietly cancelled out on server

From: David Howells
Date: Sat Jun 02 2018 - 21:17:49 EST


Sometimes an in-progress call will stop responding on the fileserver when
the fileserver quietly cancels the call with an internally marked abort
(RX_CALL_DEAD), without sending an ABORT to the client.

This causes the client's call to eventually expire from lack of incoming
packets directed its way, which currently leads to it being cancelled
locally with ETIME. Note that it's not currently clear as to why this
happens as it's really hard to reproduce.

The rotation policy implement by kAFS, however, doesn't differentiate
between ETIME meaning we didn't get any response from the server and ETIME
meaning the call got cancelled mid-flow. The latter leads to an oops when
fetching data as the rotation partially resets the afs_read descriptor,
which can result in a cleared page pointer being dereferenced because that
page has already been filled.

Handle this by the following means:

(1) Set a flag on a call when we receive a packet for it.

(2) Store the highest packet serial number so far received for a call
(bearing in mind this may wrap).

(3) If, when the "not received anything recently" timeout expires on a
call, we've received at least one packet for a call and the connection
as a whole has received packets more recently than that call, then
cancel the call locally with ECONNRESET rather than ETIME.

This indicates that the call was definitely in progress on the server.

(4) In kAFS, if the rotation algorithm sees ECONNRESET rather than ETIME,
don't try the next server, but rather abort the call.

This avoids the oops as we don't try to reuse the afs_read struct.
Rather, as-yet ungotten pages will be reread at a later data.

Also:

(5) Add an rxrpc tracepoint to log detection of the call being reset.

Without this, I occasionally see an oops like the following:

Note the weird value in RDI which is a result of trying to kmap() a NULL
