Manage the determination of RTT on a per-call (ie. per-RPC op) basis rather
than on a per-peer basis, averaging across all calls going to that peer.
The problem is that the RTT measurements from the initial packets on a call
may be off because the server may do some setting up (such as getting a
lock on a file) before accepting the rest of the data in the RPC and,
further, the RTT may be affected by server-side file operations, for
instance if a large amount of data is being written or read.
Note: When handling the FS.StoreData-type RPCs, for example, the server
uses the userStatus field in the header of ACK packets as supplementary
flow control to aid in managing this. AF_RXRPC does not yet support this,
but it should be added.

The constant for the initial resend timeout is in milliseconds, but the
variable it's assigned to is in microseconds. Fix the constant to be in
microseconds.

Make the following changes to the calculation and use of RTO:
(1) Fix rxrpc_resend() to use the backed-off RTO value obtained by calling
rxrpc_get_rto_backoff() rather than extracting the value itself.
Without this, it may retransmit packets too early.
(2) The RTO value being similar to the RTT causes a lot of extraneous
resends because the RTT doesn't end up taking account of clearing out
of the receive queue on the server. Worse, responses to PING-ACKs are
made as fast as possible and so are less than the DATA-requested-ACK
RTT and so skew the RTT down.
Fix this by putting a lower bound on the RTO by adding 100ms to it and
limiting the lower end to 200ms.

Adjust the rxrpc_rtt_rx tracepoint in the following ways:
(1) Display the collected RTT sample in the rxrpc_rtt_rx trace.
(2) Move the division of srtt by 8 to the TP_printk() rather doing it
before invoking the trace point.
(3) Display the min_rtt value.

Track the call timeouts as ktimes rather than jiffies as the latter's
granularity is too high and only set the timer at the end of the event

Directly using _usecs_to_jiffies() might be unsafe, so it's
better to use usecs_to_jiffies() instead.
Because we can see that the result of _usecs_to_jiffies()
could be larger than MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET values without the
check of the input.

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.

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.
