rxrpc: Add keepalive for a call We need to transmit a packet every so often to act as a keepalive for the peer (which has a timeout from the last time it received a packet) and also to prevent any intervening firewalls from closing the route. Do this by resetting a timer every time we transmit a packet. If the timer ever expires, we transmit a PING ACK packet and thereby also elicit a PING RESPONSE ACK from the other side - which prevents our last-rx timeout from expiring. The timer is set to 1/6 of the last-rx timeout so that we can detect the other side going away if it misses 6 replies in a row. This is particularly necessary for servers where the processing of the service function may take a significant amount of time. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
