David Howells ba00b19067 afs: Fix vlserver probe RTT handling
In the same spirit as commit ca57f02295 ("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.

David Howells b95b30940e afs: Don't use VL probe running state to make decisions outside probe code
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.

David Howells fb72cd3d48 afs: Expose information from afs_vlserver through /proc for debugging
Convert various bitfields in afs_vlserver::probe to a mask and then expose
this and some other bits of information through /proc/net/afs/<cell>/vlservers
to make it easier to debug VL server communication issues.

David Howells 1d4adfaf65 rxrpc: Make rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() indicate validity
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.

David Howells c410bf0193 rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout
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.

David Howells 4584ae96ae afs: Fix missing net error handling
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.

David Howells 3bf0fb6f33 afs: Probe multiple fileservers simultaneously
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.
