When an AFS client accesses a file, it receives a limited-duration callback
promise that the server will notify it if another client changes a file.
This callback duration can be a few hours in length.
If a client mounts a volume and then an application prevents it from being
unmounted, say by chdir'ing into it, but then does nothing for some time,
the rxrpc_peer record will expire and rxrpc-level keepalive will cease.
If there is NAT or a firewall between the client and the server, the route
back for the server may close after a comparatively short duration, meaning
that attempts by the server to notify the client may then bounce.
The client, however, may (so far as it knows) still have a valid unexpired
promise and will then rely on its cached data and will not see changes made
on the server by a third party until it incidentally rechecks the status or
the promise needs renewal.
To deal with this, the client needs to regularly probe the server. This
has two effects: firstly, it keeps a route open back for the server, and
secondly, it causes the server to disgorge any notifications that got
queued up because they couldn't be sent.
Fix this by adding a mechanism to emit regular probes.
Two levels of probing are made available: Under normal circumstances the
'slow' queue will be used for a fileserver - this just probes the preferred
address once every 5 mins or so; however, if server fails to respond to any
probes, the server will shift to the 'fast' queue from which all its
interfaces will be probed every 30s. When it finally responds, the record
will switch back to the slow queue.
Further notes:
(1) Probing is now no longer driven from the fileserver rotation
algorithm.
(2) Probes are dispatched to all interfaces on a fileserver when that an
afs_server object is set up to record it.
(3) The afs_server object is removed from the probe queues when we start
to probe it. afs_is_probing_server() returns true if it's not listed
- ie. it's undergoing probing.
(4) The afs_server object is added back on to the probe queue when the
final outstanding probe completes, but the probed_at time is set when
we're about to launch a probe so that it's not dependent on the probe
duration.
(5) The timer and the work item added for this must be handed a count on
net->servers_outstanding, which they hand on or release. This makes
sure that network namespace cleanup waits for them.

Split the usage count on the afs_server struct to have an active count that
registers who's actually using it separately from the reference count on
the object.
This allows a future patch to dispatch polling probes without advancing the
"unuse" time into the future each time we emit a probe, which would
otherwise prevent unused server records from expiring.
Included in this:
(1) The latter part of afs_destroy_server() in which the RCU destruction
of afs_server objects is invoked and the outstanding server count is
decremented is split out into __afs_put_server().
(2) afs_put_server() now calls __afs_put_server() rather then setting the
management timer.
(3) The calls begun by afs_fs_give_up_all_callbacks() and
afs_fs_get_capabilities() can now take a ref on the server record, so
afs_destroy_server() can just drop its ref and needn't wait for the
completion of these calls. They'll put the ref when they're done.
(4) Because of (3), afs_fs_probe_done() no longer needs to wake up
afs_destroy_server() with server->probe_outstanding.
(5) afs_gc_servers can be simplified. It only needs to check if
server->active is 0 rather than playing games with the refcount.
(6) afs_manage_servers() can propose a server for gc if usage == 0 rather
than if ref == 1. The gc is effected by (5).

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.

Remove three bits:
(1) afs_server::no_epoch is neither set nor used.
(2) afs_server::have_result is set and a wakeup is applied to it, but
nothing looks at it or waits on it.
(3) afs_vl_dump_edestaddrreq() prints afs_addr_list::probed, but nothing
sets it for VL servers.

When it's probing all of a fileserver's interfaces to find which one is
best to use, afs_do_probe_fileserver() takes a lock on the server record
and notes the pointer to the address list.
It doesn't, however, pin the address list, so as soon as it drops the
lock, there's nothing to stop the address list from being freed under
us.
Fix this by taking a ref on the address list inside the locked section
and dropping it at the end of the function.

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.

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.
