Improve sk_buff tracing within AF_RXRPC by the following means:
(1) Use an enum to note the event type rather than plain integers and use
an array of event names rather than a big multi ?: list.
(2) Distinguish Rx from Tx packets and account them separately. This
requires the call phase to be tracked so that we know what we might
find in rxtx_buffer[].
(3) Add a parameter to rxrpc_{new,see,get,free}_skb() to indicate the
event type.
(4) A pair of 'rotate' events are added to indicate packets that are about
to be rotated out of the Rx and Tx windows.
(5) A pair of 'lost' events are added, along with rxrpc_lose_skb() for
packet loss injection recording.

There are two places that want to transmit a packet in response to one just
received and manually pick the address to reply to out of the sk_buff.
Make them use rxrpc_extract_addr_from_skb() instead so that IPv6 is handled
automatically.

Rewrite the data and ack handling code such that:
(1) Parsing of received ACK and ABORT packets and the distribution and the
filing of DATA packets happens entirely within the data_ready context
called from the UDP socket. This allows us to process and discard ACK
and ABORT packets much more quickly (they're no longer stashed on a
queue for a background thread to process).
(2) We avoid calling skb_clone(), pskb_pull() and pskb_trim(). We instead
keep track of the offset and length of the content of each packet in
the sk_buff metadata. This means we don't do any allocation in the
receive path.
(3) Jumbo DATA packet parsing is now done in data_ready context. Rather
than cloning the packet once for each subpacket and pulling/trimming
it, we file the packet multiple times with an annotation for each
indicating which subpacket is there. From that we can directly
calculate the offset and length.
(4) A call's receive queue can be accessed without taking locks (memory
barriers do have to be used, though).
(5) Incoming calls are set up from preallocated resources and immediately
made live. They can than have packets queued upon them and ACKs
generated. If insufficient resources exist, DATA packet #1 is given a
BUSY reply and other DATA packets are discarded).
(6) sk_buffs no longer take a ref on their parent call.
To make this work, the following changes are made:
(1) Each call's receive buffer is now a circular buffer of sk_buff
pointers (rxtx_buffer) rather than a number of sk_buff_heads spread
between the call and the socket. This permits each sk_buff to be in
the buffer multiple times. The receive buffer is reused for the
transmit buffer.
(2) A circular buffer of annotations (rxtx_annotations) is kept parallel
to the data buffer. Transmission phase annotations indicate whether a
buffered packet has been ACK'd or not and whether it needs
retransmission.
Receive phase annotations indicate whether a slot holds a whole packet
or a jumbo subpacket and, if the latter, which subpacket. They also
note whether the packet has been decrypted in place.
(3) DATA packet window tracking is much simplified. Each phase has just
two numbers representing the window (rx_hard_ack/rx_top and
tx_hard_ack/tx_top).
The hard_ack number is the sequence number before base of the window,
representing the last packet the other side says it has consumed.
hard_ack starts from 0 and the first packet is sequence number 1.
The top number is the sequence number of the highest-numbered packet
residing in the buffer. Packets between hard_ack+1 and top are
soft-ACK'd to indicate they've been received, but not yet consumed.
Four macros, before(), before_eq(), after() and after_eq() are added
to compare sequence numbers within the window. This allows for the
top of the window to wrap when the hard-ack sequence number gets close
to the limit.
Two flags, RXRPC_CALL_RX_LAST and RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST, are added also
to indicate when rx_top and tx_top point at the packets with the
LAST_PACKET bit set, indicating the end of the phase.
(4) Calls are queued on the socket 'receive queue' rather than packets.
This means that we don't need have to invent dummy packets to queue to
indicate abnormal/terminal states and we don't have to keep metadata
packets (such as ABORTs) around
(5) The offset and length of a (sub)packet's content are now passed to
the verify_packet security op. This is currently expected to decrypt
the packet in place and validate it.
However, there's now nowhere to store the revised offset and length of
the actual data within the decrypted blob (there may be a header and
padding to skip) because an sk_buff may represent multiple packets, so
a locate_data security op is added to retrieve these details from the
sk_buff content when needed.
(6) recvmsg() now has to handle jumbo subpackets, where each subpacket is
individually secured and needs to be individually decrypted. The code
to do this is broken out into rxrpc_recvmsg_data() and shared with the
kernel API. It now iterates over the call's receive buffer rather
than walking the socket receive queue.
Additional changes:
(1) The timers are condensed to a single timer that is set for the soonest
of three timeouts (delayed ACK generation, DATA retransmission and
call lifespan).
(2) Transmission of ACK and ABORT packets is effected immediately from
process-context socket ops/kernel API calls that cause them instead of
them being punted off to a background work item. The data_ready
handler still has to defer to the background, though.
(3) A shutdown op is added to the AF_RXRPC socket so that the AFS
filesystem can shut down the socket and flush its own work items
before closing the socket to deal with any in-progress service calls.
Future additional changes that will need to be considered:
(1) Make sure that a call doesn't hog the front of the queue by receiving
data from the network as fast as userspace is consuming it to the
exclusion of other calls.
(2) Transmit delayed ACKs from within recvmsg() when we've consumed
sufficiently more packets to avoid the background work item needing to
run.

Rework the local RxRPC endpoint management.
Local endpoint objects are maintained in a flat list as before. This
should be okay as there shouldn't be more than one per open AF_RXRPC socket
(there can be fewer as local endpoints can be shared if their local service
ID is 0 and they share the same local transport parameters).
Changes:
(1) Local endpoints may now only be shared if they have local service ID 0
(ie. they're not being used for listening).
This prevents a scenario where process A is listening of the Cache
Manager port and process B contacts a fileserver - which may then
attempt to send CM requests back to B. But if A and B are sharing a
local endpoint, A will get the CM requests meant for B.
(2) We use a mutex to handle lookups and don't provide RCU-only lookups
since we only expect to access the list when opening a socket or
destroying an endpoint.
The local endpoint object is pointed to by the transport socket's
sk_user_data for the life of the transport socket - allowing us to
refer to it directly from the sk_data_ready and sk_error_report
callbacks.
(3) atomic_inc_not_zero() now exists and can be used to only share a local
endpoint if the last reference hasn't yet gone.
(4) We can remove rxrpc_local_lock - a spinlock that had to be taken with
BH processing disabled given that we assume sk_user_data won't change
under us.
(5) The transport socket is shut down before we clear the sk_user_data
pointer so that we can be sure that the transport socket's callbacks
won't be invoked once the RCU destruction is scheduled.
(6) Local endpoints have a work item that handles both destruction and
event processing. The means that destruction doesn't then need to
wait for event processing. The event queues can then be cleared after
the transport socket is shut down.
(7) Local endpoints are no longer available for resurrection beyond the
life of the sockets that had them open. As soon as their last ref
goes, they are scheduled for destruction and may not have their usage
count moved from 0.

Separate local endpoint event handling out into its own file preparatory to
overhauling the object management aspect (which remains in the original
file).
