Improve the management and caching of client rxrpc connection objects.
From this point, client connections will be managed separately from service
connections because AF_RXRPC controls the creation and re-use of client
connections but doesn't have that luxury with service connections.
Further, there will be limits on the numbers of client connections that may
be live on a machine. No direct restriction will be placed on the number
of client calls, excepting that each client connection can support a
maximum of four concurrent calls.
Note that, for a number of reasons, we don't want to simply discard a
client connection as soon as the last call is apparently finished:
(1) Security is negotiated per-connection and the context is then shared
between all calls on that connection. The context can be negotiated
again if the connection lapses, but that involves holding up calls
whilst at least two packets are exchanged and various crypto bits are
performed - so we'd ideally like to cache it for a little while at
least.
(2) If a packet goes astray, we will need to retransmit a final ACK or
ABORT packet. To make this work, we need to keep around the
connection details for a little while.
(3) The locally held structures represent some amount of setup time, to be
weighed against their occupation of memory when idle.
To this end, the client connection cache is managed by a state machine on
each connection. There are five states:
(1) INACTIVE - The connection is not held in any list and may not have
been exposed to the world. If it has been previously exposed, it was
discarded from the idle list after expiring.
(2) WAITING - The connection is waiting for the number of client conns to
drop below the maximum capacity. Calls may be in progress upon it
from when it was active and got culled.
The connection is on the rxrpc_waiting_client_conns list which is kept
in to-be-granted order. Culled conns with waiters go to the back of
the queue just like new conns.
(3) ACTIVE - The connection has at least one call in progress upon it, it
may freely grant available channels to new calls and calls may be
waiting on it for channels to become available.
The connection is on the rxrpc_active_client_conns list which is kept
in activation order for culling purposes.
(4) CULLED - The connection got summarily culled to try and free up
capacity. Calls currently in progress on the connection are allowed
to continue, but new calls will have to wait. There can be no waiters
in this state - the conn would have to go to the WAITING state
instead.
(5) IDLE - The connection has no calls in progress upon it and must have
been exposed to the world (ie. the EXPOSED flag must be set). When it
expires, the EXPOSED flag is cleared and the connection transitions to
the INACTIVE state.
The connection is on the rxrpc_idle_client_conns list which is kept in
order of how soon they'll expire.
A connection in the ACTIVE or CULLED state must have at least one active
call upon it; if in the WAITING state it may have active calls upon it;
other states may not have active calls.
As long as a connection remains active and doesn't get culled, it may
continue to process calls - even if there are connections on the wait
queue. This simplifies things a bit and reduces the amount of checking we
need do.
There are a couple flags of relevance to the cache:
(1) EXPOSED - The connection ID got exposed to the world. If this flag is
set, an extra ref is added to the connection preventing it from being
reaped when it has no calls outstanding. This flag is cleared and the
ref dropped when a conn is discarded from the idle list.
(2) DONT_REUSE - The connection should be discarded as soon as possible and
should not be reused.
This commit also provides a number of new settings:
(*) /proc/net/rxrpc/max_client_conns
The maximum number of live client connections. Above this number, new
connections get added to the wait list and must wait for an active
conn to be culled. Culled connections can be reused, but they will go
to the back of the wait list and have to wait.
(*) /proc/net/rxrpc/reap_client_conns
If the number of desired connections exceeds the maximum above, the
active connection list will be culled until there are only this many
left in it.
(*) /proc/net/rxrpc/idle_conn_expiry
The normal expiry time for a client connection, provided there are
fewer than reap_client_conns of them around.
(*) /proc/net/rxrpc/idle_conn_fast_expiry
The expedited expiry time, used when there are more than
reap_client_conns of them around.
Note that I combined the Tx wait queue with the channel grant wait queue to
save space as only one of these should be in use at once.
Note also that, for the moment, the service connection cache still uses the
old connection management code.

The main connection list is used for two independent purposes: primarily it
is used to find connections to reap and secondarily it is used to list
connections in procfs.
Split the procfs list out from the reap list. This allows us to stop using
the reap list for client connections when they acquire a separate
management strategy from service collections.
The client connections will not be on a management single list, and sometimes
won't be on a management list at all. This doesn't leave them floating,
however, as they will also be on an rb-tree rooted on the socket so that the
socket can find them to dispatch calls.

The rxrpc_lookup_peer() function returns NULL on error, it never returns
error pointers.

Move to using RCU access to a peer's service connection tree when routing
an incoming packet. This is done using a seqlock to trigger retrying of
the tree walk if a change happened.
Further, we no longer get a ref on the connection looked up in the
data_ready handler unless we queue the connection's work item - and then
only if the refcount > 0.
Note that I'm avoiding the use of a hash table for service connections
because each service connection is addressed by a 62-bit number
(constructed from epoch and connection ID >> 2) that would allow the client
to engage in bucket stuffing, given knowledge of the hash algorithm.
Peers, however, are hashed as the network address is less controllable by
the client. The total number of peers will also be limited in a future
commit.

Prune the contents of the rxrpc_conn_proto struct. Most of the fields aren't
used anymore.

Overhaul the usage count accounting for the rxrpc_connection struct to make
it easier to implement RCU access from the data_ready handler.
The problem is that currently we're using a lock to prevent the garbage
collector from trying to clean up a connection that we're contemplating
unidling. We could just stick incoming packets on the connection we find,
but we've then got a problem that we may race when dispatching a work item
to process it as we need to give that a ref to prevent the rxrpc_connection
struct from disappearing in the meantime.
Further, incoming packets may get discarded if attached to an
rxrpc_connection struct that is going away. Whilst this is not a total
disaster - the client will presumably resend - it would delay processing of
the call. This would affect the AFS client filesystem's service manager
operation.
To this end:
(1) We now maintain an extra count on the connection usage count whilst it
is on the connection list. This mean it is not in use when its
refcount is 1.
(2) When trying to reuse an old connection, we only increment the refcount
if it is greater than 0. If it is 0, we replace it in the tree with a
new candidate connection.
(3) Two connection flags are added to indicate whether or not a connection
is in the local's client connection tree (used by sendmsg) or the
peer's service connection tree (used by data_ready). This makes sure
that we don't try and remove a connection if it got replaced.
The flags are tested under lock with the removal operation to prevent
the reaper from killing the rxrpc_connection struct whilst someone
else is trying to effect a replacement.
This could probably be alleviated by using memory barriers between the
flag set/test and the rb_tree ops. The rb_tree op would still need to
be under the lock, however.
(4) When trying to reap an old connection, we try to flip the usage count
from 1 to 0. If it's not 1 at that point, then it must've come back
to life temporarily and we ignore it.

Move the lookup of a peer from a call that's being accepted into the
function that creates a new incoming connection. This will allow us to
avoid incrementing the peer's usage count in some cases in future.
Note that I haven't bother to integrate rxrpc_get_addr_from_skb() with
rxrpc_extract_addr_from_skb() as I'm going to delete the former in the very
near future.

Split the service-specific connection code out into into its own file. The
client-specific code has already been split out. This will leave just the
common code in the original file.
