rxrpc: Implement RACK/TLP to deal with transmission stalls [RFC8985]
When an rxrpc call is in its transmission phase and is sending a lot of packets, stalls occasionally occur that cause severe performance degradation (eg. increasing the transmission time for a 256MiB payload from 0.7s to 2.5s over a 10G link). rxrpc already implements TCP-style congestion control [RFC5681] and this helps mitigate the effects, but occasionally we're missing a time event that deals with a missing ACK, leading to a stall until the RTO expires. Fix this by implementing RACK/TLP in rxrpc. Signed-off-by:David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> cc: Marc Dionne <marc.dionne@auristor.com> cc: linux-afs@lists.infradead.org Signed-off-by:
