[PATCH net 07/13] rxrpc: Partially handle OpenAFS's improper termination of calls

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Oct 06 2016 - 06:04:54 EST


OpenAFS doesn't always correctly terminate client calls that it makes -
this includes calls the OpenAFS servers make to the cache manager service.
It should end the client call with either:

(1) An ACK that has firstPacket set to one greater than the seq number of
the reply DATA packet with the LAST_PACKET flag set (thereby
hard-ACK'ing all packets). nAcks should be 0 and acks[] should be
empty (ie. no soft-ACKs).

(2) An ACKALL packet.

OpenAFS, though, may send an ACK packet with firstPacket set to the last
seq number or less and soft-ACKs listed for all packets up to and including
the last DATA packet.

The transmitter, however, is obliged to keep the call live and the
soft-ACK'd DATA packets around until they're hard-ACK'd as the receiver is
permitted to drop any merely soft-ACK'd packet and request retransmission
by sending an ACK packet with a NACK in it.

Further, OpenAFS will also terminate a client call by beginning the next
client call on the same connection channel. This implicitly completes the
previous call.

This patch handles implicit ACK of a call on a channel by the reception of
the first packet of the next call on that channel.

If another call doesn't come along to implicitly ACK a call, then we have
to time the call out. There are some bugs there that will be addressed in
subsequent patches.
