Improve the management and caching of client rxrpc connection objects.
From this point, client connections will be managed separately from service
connections because AF_RXRPC controls the creation and re-use of client
connections but doesn't have that luxury with service connections.
Further, there will be limits on the numbers of client connections that may
be live on a machine. No direct restriction will be placed on the number
of client calls, excepting that each client connection can support a
maximum of four concurrent calls.
Note that, for a number of reasons, we don't want to simply discard a
client connection as soon as the last call is apparently finished:
(1) Security is negotiated per-connection and the context is then shared
between all calls on that connection. The context can be negotiated
again if the connection lapses, but that involves holding up calls
whilst at least two packets are exchanged and various crypto bits are
performed - so we'd ideally like to cache it for a little while at
least.
(2) If a packet goes astray, we will need to retransmit a final ACK or
ABORT packet. To make this work, we need to keep around the
connection details for a little while.
(3) The locally held structures represent some amount of setup time, to be
weighed against their occupation of memory when idle.
To this end, the client connection cache is managed by a state machine on
each connection. There are five states:
(1) INACTIVE - The connection is not held in any list and may not have
been exposed to the world. If it has been previously exposed, it was
discarded from the idle list after expiring.
(2) WAITING - The connection is waiting for the number of client conns to
drop below the maximum capacity. Calls may be in progress upon it
from when it was active and got culled.
The connection is on the rxrpc_waiting_client_conns list which is kept
in to-be-granted order. Culled conns with waiters go to the back of
the queue just like new conns.
(3) ACTIVE - The connection has at least one call in progress upon it, it
may freely grant available channels to new calls and calls may be
waiting on it for channels to become available.
The connection is on the rxrpc_active_client_conns list which is kept
in activation order for culling purposes.
(4) CULLED - The connection got summarily culled to try and free up
capacity. Calls currently in progress on the connection are allowed
to continue, but new calls will have to wait. There can be no waiters
in this state - the conn would have to go to the WAITING state
instead.
(5) IDLE - The connection has no calls in progress upon it and must have
been exposed to the world (ie. the EXPOSED flag must be set). When it
expires, the EXPOSED flag is cleared and the connection transitions to
the INACTIVE state.
The connection is on the rxrpc_idle_client_conns list which is kept in
order of how soon they'll expire.
A connection in the ACTIVE or CULLED state must have at least one active
call upon it; if in the WAITING state it may have active calls upon it;
other states may not have active calls.
As long as a connection remains active and doesn't get culled, it may
continue to process calls - even if there are connections on the wait
queue. This simplifies things a bit and reduces the amount of checking we
need do.
There are a couple flags of relevance to the cache:
(1) EXPOSED - The connection ID got exposed to the world. If this flag is
set, an extra ref is added to the connection preventing it from being
reaped when it has no calls outstanding. This flag is cleared and the
ref dropped when a conn is discarded from the idle list.
(2) DONT_REUSE - The connection should be discarded as soon as possible and
should not be reused.
This commit also provides a number of new settings:
(*) /proc/net/rxrpc/max_client_conns
The maximum number of live client connections. Above this number, new
connections get added to the wait list and must wait for an active
conn to be culled. Culled connections can be reused, but they will go
to the back of the wait list and have to wait.
(*) /proc/net/rxrpc/reap_client_conns
If the number of desired connections exceeds the maximum above, the
active connection list will be culled until there are only this many
left in it.
(*) /proc/net/rxrpc/idle_conn_expiry
The normal expiry time for a client connection, provided there are
fewer than reap_client_conns of them around.
(*) /proc/net/rxrpc/idle_conn_fast_expiry
The expedited expiry time, used when there are more than
reap_client_conns of them around.
Note that I combined the Tx wait queue with the channel grant wait queue to
save space as only one of these should be in use at once.
Note also that, for the moment, the service connection cache still uses the
old connection management code.

The main connection list is used for two independent purposes: primarily it
is used to find connections to reap and secondarily it is used to list
connections in procfs.
Split the procfs list out from the reap list. This allows us to stop using
the reap list for client connections when they acquire a separate
management strategy from service collections.
The client connections will not be on a management single list, and sometimes
won't be on a management list at all. This doesn't leave them floating,
however, as they will also be on an rb-tree rooted on the socket so that the
socket can find them to dispatch calls.

Perform terminal call ACK/ABORT retransmission in the connection processor
rather than in the call processor. With this change, once last_call is
set, no more incoming packets will be routed to the corresponding call or
any earlier calls on that channel (call IDs must only increase on a channel
on a connection).
Further, if a packet's callNumber is before the last_call ID or a packet is
aimed at successfully completed service call then that packet is discarded
and ignored.

Set the connection expiry time when a connection becomes idle rather than
doing this in rxrpc_put_connection(). This makes the put path more
efficient (it is likely to be called occasionally whilst a connection has
outstanding calls because active workqueue items needs to be given a ref).
The time is also preset in the connection allocator in case the connection
never gets used.

Move to using RCU access to a peer's service connection tree when routing
an incoming packet. This is done using a seqlock to trigger retrying of
the tree walk if a change happened.
Further, we no longer get a ref on the connection looked up in the
data_ready handler unless we queue the connection's work item - and then
only if the refcount > 0.
Note that I'm avoiding the use of a hash table for service connections
because each service connection is addressed by a 62-bit number
(constructed from epoch and connection ID >> 2) that would allow the client
to engage in bucket stuffing, given knowledge of the hash algorithm.
Peers, however, are hashed as the network address is less controllable by
the client. The total number of peers will also be limited in a future
commit.

Overhaul the usage count accounting for the rxrpc_connection struct to make
it easier to implement RCU access from the data_ready handler.
The problem is that currently we're using a lock to prevent the garbage
collector from trying to clean up a connection that we're contemplating
unidling. We could just stick incoming packets on the connection we find,
but we've then got a problem that we may race when dispatching a work item
to process it as we need to give that a ref to prevent the rxrpc_connection
struct from disappearing in the meantime.
Further, incoming packets may get discarded if attached to an
rxrpc_connection struct that is going away. Whilst this is not a total
disaster - the client will presumably resend - it would delay processing of
the call. This would affect the AFS client filesystem's service manager
operation.
To this end:
(1) We now maintain an extra count on the connection usage count whilst it
is on the connection list. This mean it is not in use when its
refcount is 1.
(2) When trying to reuse an old connection, we only increment the refcount
if it is greater than 0. If it is 0, we replace it in the tree with a
new candidate connection.
(3) Two connection flags are added to indicate whether or not a connection
is in the local's client connection tree (used by sendmsg) or the
peer's service connection tree (used by data_ready). This makes sure
that we don't try and remove a connection if it got replaced.
The flags are tested under lock with the removal operation to prevent
the reaper from killing the rxrpc_connection struct whilst someone
else is trying to effect a replacement.
This could probably be alleviated by using memory barriers between the
flag set/test and the rb_tree ops. The rb_tree op would still need to
be under the lock, however.
(4) When trying to reap an old connection, we try to flip the usage count
from 1 to 0. If it's not 1 at that point, then it must've come back
to life temporarily and we ignore it.

Each channel on a connection has a separate, independent number space from
which to allocate callNumber values. It is entirely possible, for example,
to have a connection with four active calls, each with call number 1.
Note that the callNumber values for any particular channel don't have to
start at 1, but they are supposed to increment monotonically for that
channel from a client's perspective and may not be reused once the call
number is transmitted (until the epoch cycles all the way back round).
Currently, however, call numbers are allocated on a per-connection basis
and, further, are held in an rb-tree. The rb-tree is redundant as the four
channel pointers in the rxrpc_connection struct are entirely capable of
pointing to all the calls currently in progress on a connection.
To this end, make the following changes:
(1) Handle call number allocation independently per channel.
(2) Get rid of the conn->calls rb-tree. This is overkill as a connection
may have a maximum of four calls in progress at any one time. Use the
pointers in the channels[] array instead, indexed by the channel
number from the packet.
(3) For each channel, save the result of the last call that was in
progress on that channel in conn->channels[] so that the final ACK or
ABORT packet can be replayed if necessary. Any call earlier than that
is just ignored. If we've seen the next call number in a packet, the
last one is most definitely defunct.
(4) When generating a RESPONSE packet for a connection, the call number
counter for each channel must be included in it.
(5) When parsing a RESPONSE packet for a connection, the call number
counters contained therein should be used to set the minimum expected
call numbers on each channel.
To do in future commits:
(1) Replay terminal packets based on the last call stored in
conn->channels[].
(2) Connections should be retired before the callNumber space on any
channel runs out.
(3) A server is expected to disregard or reject any new incoming call that
has a call number less than the current call number counter. The call
number counter for that channel must be advanced to the new call
number.
Note that the server cannot just require that the next call that it
sees on a channel be exactly the call number counter + 1 because then
there's a scenario that could cause a problem: The client transmits a
packet to initiate a connection, the network goes out, the server
sends an ACK (which gets lost), the client sends an ABORT (which also
gets lost); the network then reconnects, the client then reuses the
call number for the next call (it doesn't know the server already saw
the call number), but the server thinks it already has the first
packet of this call (it doesn't know that the client doesn't know that
it saw the call number the first time).

When a call is disconnected, clear the call's pointer to the connection and
release the associated ref on that connection. This means that the call no
longer pins the connection and the connection can be discarded even before
the call is.
As the code currently stands, the call struct is effectively pinned by
userspace until userspace has enacted a recvmsg() to retrieve the final
call state as sk_buffs on the receive queue pin the call to which they're
related because:
(1) The rxrpc_call struct contains the userspace ID that recvmsg() has to
include in the control message buffer to indicate which call is being
referred to. This ID must remain valid until the terminal packet is
completely read and must be invalidated immediately at that point as
userspace is entitled to immediately reuse it.
(2) The final ACK to the reply to a client call isn't sent until the last
data packet is entirely read (it's probably worth altering this in
future to be send the ACK as soon as all the data has been received).
This change requires a bit of rearrangement to make sure that the call
isn't going to try and access the connection again after protocol
completion:
(1) Delete the error link earlier when we're releasing the call. Possibly
network errors should be distributed via connections at the cost of
adding in an access to the rxrpc_connection struct.
(2) Remove the call from the connection's call tree before disconnecting
the call. The call tree needs to be removed anyway and incoming
packets delivered by channel pointer instead.
(3) The release call event should be considered last after all other
events have been processed so that we don't need access to the
connection again.
(4) Move the channel_lock taking from rxrpc_release_call() to
rxrpc_disconnect_call() where it will be required in future.

rxkad uses stack memory in SG lists which would not work if stacks were
allocated from vmalloc memory. In fact, in most cases this isn't even
necessary as the stack memory ends up getting copied over to kmalloc
memory.
This patch eliminates all the unnecessary stack memory uses by supplying
the final destination directly to the crypto API. In two instances where a
temporary buffer is actually needed we also switch use a scratch area in
the rxrpc_call struct (only one DATA packet will be being secured or
verified at a time).
Finally there is no need to split a split-page buffer into two SG entries
so code dealing with that has been removed.

Use the IDR facility to allocate client connection IDs on a machine-wide
basis so that each client connection has a unique identifier. When the
connection ID space wraps, we advance the epoch by 1, thereby effectively
having a 62-bit ID space. The IDR facility is then used to look up client
connections during incoming packet routing instead of using an rbtree
rooted on the transport.
This change allows for the removal of the transport in the future and also
means that client connections can be looked up directly in the data-ready
handler by connection ID.
The ID management code is placed in a new file, conn-client.c, to which all
the client connection-specific code will eventually move.
Note that the IDR tree gets very expensive on memory if the connection IDs
are widely scattered throughout the number space, so we shall need to
retire connections that have, say, an ID more than four times the maximum
number of client conns away from the current allocation point to try and
keep the IDs concentrated. We will also need to retire connections from an
old epoch.
Also note that, for the moment, a pointer to the transport has to be passed
through into the ID allocation function so that we can take a BH lock to
prevent a locking issue against in-BH lookup of client connections. This
will go away later when RCU is used for server connections also.

"Exclusive connections" are meant to be used for a single client call and
then scrapped. The idea is to limit the use of the negotiated security
context. The current code, however, isn't doing this: it is instead
restricting the socket to a single virtual connection and doing all the
calls over that.
This is changed such that the socket no longer maintains a special virtual
connection over which it will do all the calls, but rather gets a new one
each time a new exclusive call is made.
Further, using a socket option for this is a poor choice. It should be
done on sendmsg with a control message marker instead so that calls can be
marked exclusive individually. To that end, add RXRPC_EXCLUSIVE_CALL
which, if passed to sendmsg() as a control message element, will cause the
call to be done on an single-use connection.
The socket option (RXRPC_EXCLUSIVE_CONNECTION) still exists and, if set,
will override any lack of RXRPC_EXCLUSIVE_CALL being specified so that
programs using the setsockopt() will appear to work the same.

Rename files matching net/rxrpc/ar-*.c to get rid of the "ar-" prefix.
This will aid splitting those files by making easier to come up with new
names.
Note that the not all files are simply renamed from ar-X.c to X.c. The
following exceptions are made:
(*) ar-call.c -> call_object.c
ar-ack.c -> call_event.c
call_object.c is going to contain the core of the call object
handling. Call event handling is all going to be in call_event.c.
(*) ar-accept.c -> call_accept.c
Incoming call handling is going to be here.
(*) ar-connection.c -> conn_object.c
ar-connevent.c -> conn_event.c
The former file is going to have the basic connection object handling,
but there will likely be some differentiation between client
connections and service connections in additional files later. The
latter file will have all the connection-level event handling.
(*) ar-local.c -> local_object.c
This will have the local endpoint object handling code. The local
endpoint event handling code will later be split out into
local_event.c.
(*) ar-peer.c -> peer_object.c
This will have the peer endpoint object handling code. Peer event
handling code will be placed in peer_event.c (for the moment, there is
none).
(*) ar-error.c -> peer_event.c
This will become the peer event handling code, though for the moment
it's actually driven from the local endpoint's perspective.
Note that I haven't renamed ar-transport.c to transport_object.c as the
intention is to delete it when the rxrpc_transport struct is excised.
The only file that actually has its contents changed is net/rxrpc/Makefile.
net/rxrpc/ar-internal.h will need its section marker comments updating, but
I'll do that in a separate patch to make it easier for git to follow the
history across the rename. I may also want to rename ar-internal.h at some
point - but that would mean updating all the #includes and I'd rather do
that in a separate step.
