RDS: TCP: Track peer's connection generation number
The RDS transport has to be able to distinguish between two types of failure events: (a) when the transport fails (e.g., TCP connection reset) but the RDS socket/connection layer on both sides stays the same (b) when the peer's RDS layer itself resets (e.g., due to module reload or machine reboot at the peer) In case (a) both sides must reconnect and continue the RDS messaging without any message loss or disruption to the message sequence numbers, and this is achieved by rds_send_path_reset(). In case (b) we should reset all rds_connection state to the new incarnation of the peer. Examples of state that needs to be reset are next expected rx sequence number from, or messages to be retransmitted to, the new incarnation of the peer. To achieve this, the RDS handshake probe added as part of commit 5916e2c1 ("RDS: TCP: Enable multipath RDS for TCP") is enhanced so that sender and receiver of the RDS ping-probe will add a generation number as part of the RDS_EXTHDR_GEN_NUM extension header. Each peer stores local and remote generation numbers as part of each rds_connection. Changes in generation number will be detected via incoming handshake probe ping request or response and will allow the receiver to reset rds_connection state.
