rxrpc: Fix call timeouts Fix the rxrpc call expiration timeouts and make them settable from userspace. By analogy with other rx implementations, there should be three timeouts: (1) "Normal timeout" This is set for all calls and is triggered if we haven't received any packets from the peer in a while. It is measured from the last time we received any packet on that call. This is not reset by any connection packets (such as CHALLENGE/RESPONSE packets). If a service operation takes a long time, the server should generate PING ACKs at a duration that's substantially less than the normal timeout so is to keep both sides alive. This is set at 1/6 of normal timeout. (2) "Idle timeout" This is set only for a service call and is triggered if we stop receiving the DATA packets that comprise the request data. It is measured from the last time we received a DATA packet. (3) "Hard timeout" This can be set for a call and specified the maximum lifetime of that call. It should not be specified by default. Some operations (such as volume transfer) take a long time. Allow userspace to set/change the timeouts on a call with sendmsg, using a control message: RXRPC_SET_CALL_TIMEOUTS The data to the message is a number of 32-bit words, not all of which need be given: u32 hard_timeout; /* sec from first packet */ u32 idle_timeout; /* msec from packet Rx */ u32 normal_timeout; /* msec from data Rx */ This can be set in combination with any other sendmsg() that affects a call.
