    rxrpc: Implement slow-start · 57494343
    David Howells 提交于
    Implement RxRPC slow-start, which is similar to RFC 5681 for TCP.  A
    tracepoint is added to log the state of the congestion management algorithm
    and the decisions it makes.
    
    Notes:
    
     (1) Since we send fixed-size DATA packets (apart from the final packet in
         each phase), counters and calculations are in terms of packets rather
         than bytes.
    
     (2) The ACK packet carries the equivalent of TCP SACK.
    
     (3) The FLIGHT_SIZE calculation in RFC 5681 doesn't seem particularly
         suited to SACK of a small number of packets.  It seems that, almost
         inevitably, by the time three 'duplicate' ACKs have been seen, we have
         narrowed the loss down to one or two missing packets, and the
         FLIGHT_SIZE calculation ends up as 2.
    
     (4) In rxrpc_resend(), if there was no data that apparently needed
         retransmission, we transmit a PING ACK to ask the peer to tell us what
         its Rx window state is.
