David Howells 4ba68c5192 rxrpc: Return an error to sendmsg if call failed
If at the end of rxrpc sendmsg() or rxrpc_kernel_send_data() the call that
was being given data was aborted remotely or otherwise failed, return an
error rather than returning the amount of data buffered for transmission.

The call (presumably) did not complete, so there's not much point
continuing with it.  AF_RXRPC considers it "complete" and so will be
unwilling to do anything else with it - and won't send a notification for
it, deeming the return from sendmsg sufficient.

Not returning an error causes afs to incorrectly handle a StoreData
operation that gets interrupted by a change of address due to NAT
reconfiguration.

This doesn't normally affect most operations since their request parameters
tend to fit into a single UDP packet and afs_make_call() returns before the
server responds; StoreData is different as it involves transmission of a
lot of data.

This can be triggered on a client by doing something like:

	dd if=/dev/zero of=/afs/example.com/foo bs=1M count=512

at one prompt, and then changing the network address at another prompt,
e.g.:

	ifconfig enp6s0 inet 192.168.6.2 && route add 192.168.6.1 dev enp6s0

Tracing packets on an Auristor fileserver looks something like:

192.168.6.1 -> 192.168.6.3  RX 107 ACK Idle  Seq: 0  Call: 4  Source Port: 7000  Destination Port: 7001
192.168.6.3 -> 192.168.6.1  AFS (RX) 1482 FS Request: Unknown(64538) (64538)
192.168.6.3 -> 192.168.6.1  AFS (RX) 1482 FS Request: Unknown(64538) (64538)
192.168.6.1 -> 192.168.6.3  RX 107 ACK Idle  Seq: 0  Call: 4  Source Port: 7000  Destination Port: 7001
<ARP exchange for 192.168.6.2>
192.168.6.2 -> 192.168.6.1  AFS (RX) 1482 FS Request: Unknown(0) (0)
192.168.6.2 -> 192.168.6.1  AFS (RX) 1482 FS Request: Unknown(0) (0)
192.168.6.1 -> 192.168.6.2  RX 107 ACK Exceeds Window  Seq: 0  Call: 4  Source Port: 7000  Destination Port: 7001
192.168.6.1 -> 192.168.6.2  RX 74 ABORT  Seq: 0  Call: 4  Source Port: 7000  Destination Port: 7001
192.168.6.1 -> 192.168.6.2  RX 74 ABORT  Seq: 29321  Call: 4  Source Port: 7000  Destination Port: 7001

The Auristor fileserver logs code -453 (RXGEN_SS_UNMARSHAL), but the abort
code received by kafs is -5 (RX_PROTOCOL_ERROR) as the rx layer sees the
condition and generates an abort first and the unmarshal error is a
consequence of that at the application layer.

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.

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.
