Limit the socket incoming call backlog queue size so that a remote client
can't pump in sufficient new calls that the server runs out of memory. Note
that this is partially theoretical at the moment since whilst the number of
calls is limited, the number of packets trying to set up new calls is not.
This will be addressed in a later patch.
If the caller of listen() specifies a backlog INT_MAX, then they get the
current maximum; anything else greater than max_backlog or anything
negative incurs EINVAL.
The limit on the maximum queue size can be set by:
echo N >/proc/sys/net/rxrpc/max_backlog
where 4<=N<=32.
Further, set the default backlog to 0, requiring listen() to be called
before we start actually queueing new calls. Whilst this kind of is a
change in the UAPI, the caller can't actually *accept* new calls anyway
unless they've first called listen() to put the socket into the LISTENING
state - thus the aforementioned new calls would otherwise just sit there,
eating up kernel memory. (Note that sockets that don't have a non-zero
service ID bound don't get incoming calls anyway.)
Given that the default backlog is now 0, make the AFS filesystem call
kernel_listen() to set the maximum backlog for itself.
Possible improvements include:
(1) Trimming a too-large backlog to max_backlog when listen is called.
(2) Trimming the backlog value whenever the value is used so that changes
to max_backlog are applied to an open socket automatically. Note that
the AFS filesystem opens one socket and keeps it open for extended
periods, so would miss out on changes to max_backlog.
(3) Having a separate setting for the AFS filesystem.

The upper bound of the defined range for rx_mtu is being set in the same
member as the lower bound (extra1) rather than the correct place (extra2).
I'm not entirely sure why this compiles.

Expose RxRPC parameters via sysctls to control the Rx window size, the Rx MTU
maximum size and the number of packets that can be glued into a jumbo packet.

Add sysctls for configuring RxRPC protocol handling, specifically controls on
delays before ack generation, the delay before resending a packet, the maximum
lifetime of a call and the expiration times of calls, connections and
transports that haven't been recently used.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
