Immediately flush any outstanding ACK on entry to rxrpc_recvmsg_data() - which transfers data to the target buffers - if we previously had an Rx underrun (ie. we returned -EAGAIN because we ran out of received data). This lets the server know what we've managed to receive something. Also flush any outstanding ACK after calling the function if it hit -EAGAIN to let the server know we processed some data. It might be better to send more ACKs, possibly on a time-based scheme, but that needs some more consideration. With this and some additional AFS patches, it is possible to get large unencrypted O_DIRECT reads to be almost as fast as NFS over TCP. It looks like it might be theoretically possible to improve performance yet more for a server running a single operation as investigation of packet timestamps indicates that the server keeps stalling. The issue appears to be that rxrpc runs in to trouble with ACK packets getting batched together (up to ~32 at a time) somewhere between the IP transmit queue on the client and the ethernet receive queue on the server. However, this case isn't too much of a worry as even a lightly loaded server should be receiving sufficient packet flux to flush the ACK packets to the UDP socket.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
