Here's the fifth part of patches in the process of moving rxrpc from doing a lot of its stuff in softirq context to doing it in an I/O thread in process context and thereby making it easier to support a larger SACK table. The full description is in the description for the first part[1] which is now upstream. The second and third parts are also upstream[2]. A subset of the original fourth part[3] got applied as a fix for a race[4]. The fifth part includes some cleanups: (1) Miscellaneous trace header cleanups: fix a trace string, display the security index in rx_packet rather than displaying the type twice, remove some whitespace to make checkpatch happier and remove some excess tabulation. (2) Convert ->recvmsg_lock to a spinlock as it's only ever locked exclusively. (3) Make ->ackr_window and ->ackr_nr_unacked non-atomic as they're only used in the I/O thread. (4) Don't use call->tx_lock to access ->tx_buffer as that is only accessed inside the I/O thread. sendmsg() loads onto ->tx_sendmsg and the I/O thread decants from that to the buffer. (5) Remove local->defrag_sem as DATA packets are transmitted serially by the I/O thread. (6) Remove the service connection bundle is it was only used for its channel_lock - which has now gone. And some more significant changes: (7) Add a debugging option to allow a delay to be injected into packet reception to help investigate the behaviour over longer links than just a few cm. (8) Generate occasional PING ACKs to probe for RTT information during a receive heavy call. (9) Simplify the SACK table maintenance and ACK generation. Now that both parts are done in the same thread, there's no possibility of a race and no need to try and be cunning to avoid taking a BH spinlock whilst copying the SACK table (which in the future will be up to 2K) and no need to rotate the copy to fit the ACK packet table. (10) Use SKB_CONSUMED when freeing received DATA packets (stop dropwatch complaining).
