mainlining shenanigans
c7e86acfce
If the network becomes (partially) unavailable, say by disabling IPv6, the
background ACK transmission routine can get itself into a tizzy by
proposing immediate ACK retransmission. Since we're in the call event
processor, that happens immediately without returning to the workqueue
manager.
The condition should clear after a while when either the network comes back
or the call times out.
Fix this by:
(1) When re-proposing an ACK on failed Tx, don't schedule it immediately.
This will allow a certain amount of time to elapse before we try
again.
(2) Enforce a return to the workqueue manager after a certain number of
iterations of the call processing loop.
(3) Add a backoff delay that increases the delay on deferred ACKs by a
jiffy per failed transmission to a limit of HZ. The backoff delay is
cleared on a successful return from kernel_sendmsg().
(4) Cancel calls immediately if the opening sendmsg fails. The layer
above can arrange retransmission or rotate to another server.

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.
