[RFC][PATCH] rxrpc: Support reception of extended-SACK ACK packet

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Aug 06 2021 - 06:09:09 EST



The RxRPC ACK packet supports selective ACK of up to 255 DATA packets. It
contains a variable length array with one octet allocated for each DATA
packet to be ACK'd. Each octet is either 0 or 1 depending on whether it is
a negative or positive ACK. 7 bits in each octet are effectively unused
and, further, there are three reserved octets following the ACK array that
are all set to 0.

To extend the ACK window up to 2048 ACKs, it is proposed[1]:

(1) that the ACKs for DATA packets first+0...first+254 in the Rx window
are in bit 0 of the octets in the array, ie. acks[0...254], pretty
much as now; and

(2) that if the ACK count is >=256, the first reserved byte after the ACK
table is annexed to the ACK table as acks[255] and contains the ACK
for packet first+255 in bit 0; and

(3) that if the ACK count is >256, horizontal striping be employed such
that the ACK for packet first+256 in the window is then in bit 1 of
acks[0], first+257 is in bit 1 of acks[1], up to first+511 being in
bit 1 of the borrowed reserved byte (ie. acks[255]).

first+512 is then in bit 2 of acks[0], going all the way up to
first+2048 being in bit 7 of acks[255].

If extended SACK is employed in an ACK packet, it should have EXTENDED-SACK
(0x08) set in the RxRPC packet header.

Alter rxrpc_input_ack() to sanity check the ACK count.

Alter rxrpc_input_ack() to limit the number of bytes it extracts from the
packet for the ack array to 256.

Alter rxrpc_input_soft_acks() to handle an extended SACK table.
