2024-01-01afs: Keep a record of the current fileserver endpoint stateDavid Howells
Keep a record of the current fileserver endpoint state, including the probe state, and replace it when a new probe is started rather than just squelching the old state and overwriting it. Clearance of the old state can cause a race if there's another thread also currently trying to communicate with that server. It appears that this race might be the culprit for some occasions where kafs complains about invalid data in the RPC reply because the rotation algorithm fell all the way through without actually issuing an RPC call and the error return got filled in from the probe state (which has a zero error recorded). Whatever happens to be in the caller's reply buffer is then taken as the response.

2024-01-01afs: Dispatch vlserver probes in priority orderDavid Howells
When probing all the addresses for a volume location server, dispatch them in order of descending priority to try and get back highest priority one first. Also add a tracepoint to show the transmission and completion of the probes.

2023-12-24afs: Use peer + service_id as call addressDavid Howells
Use the rxrpc_peer plus the service ID as the call address instead of passing in a sockaddr_srx down to rxrpc. The peer record is obtained by using rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(). This avoids the need to repeatedly look up the peer and allows rxrpc to hold on to resources for it.

2023-12-24afs: Simplify error handlingDavid Howells
Simplify error handling a bit by moving it from the afs_addr_cursor struct to the afs_operation and afs_vl_cursor structs and using the error prioritisation function for accumulating errors from multiple sources (AFS tries to rotate between multiple fileservers, some of which may be inaccessible or in some state of offlinedness).

2023-12-24rxrpc, afs: Allow afs to pin rxrpc_peer objectsDavid Howells
Change rxrpc's API such that: (1) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer(), is provided to look up an rxrpc_peer record for a remote address and a corresponding function, rxrpc_kernel_put_peer(), is provided to dispose of it again. (2) When setting up a call, the rxrpc_peer object used during a call is now passed in rather than being set up by rxrpc_connect_call(). For afs, this meenat passing it to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() rather than the full address (the service ID then has to be passed in as a separate parameter). (3) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr(), is added so that afs can get a pointer to the transport address for display purposed, and another, rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx(), to gain a pointer to the full rxrpc address. (4) The function to retrieve the RTT from a call, rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt(), is then altered to take a peer. This now returns the RTT or -1 if there are insufficient samples. (5) Rename rxrpc_kernel_get_peer() to rxrpc_kernel_call_get_peer(). (6) Provide a new function, rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(), to get a ref on a peer the caller already has. This allows the afs filesystem to pin the rxrpc_peer records that it is using, allowing faster lookups and pointer comparisons rather than comparing sockaddr_rxrpc contents. It also makes it easier to get hold of the RTT. The following changes are made to afs: (1) The addr_list struct's addrs[] elements now hold a peer struct pointer and a service ID rather than a sockaddr_rxrpc. (2) When displaying the transport address, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr() is used. (3) The port arg is removed from afs_alloc_addrlist() since it's always overridden. (4) afs_merge_fs_addr4() and afs_merge_fs_addr6() do peer lookup and may now return an error that must be handled. (5) afs_find_server() now takes a peer pointer to specify the address. (6) afs_find_server(), afs_compare_fs_alists() and afs_merge_fs_addr[46]{} now do peer pointer comparison rather than address comparison.

2023-12-24afs: Turn the afs_addr_list address array into an array of structsDavid Howells

2023-06-16afs: Fix vlserver probe RTT handlingDavid Howells
In the same spirit as commit ca57f02295f1 ("afs: Fix fileserver probe RTT handling"), don't rule out using a vlserver just because there haven't been enough packets yet to calculate a real rtt. Always set the server's probe rtt from the estimate provided by rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt, which is capped at 1 second. This could lead to EDESTADDRREQ errors when accessing a cell for the first time, even though the vl servers are known and have responded to a probe.

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

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.

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.
