David Howells says:

====================
Here are some changes to AF_RXRPC:

 (1) Cache the transmission serial number of ACK and DATA packets in the
     rxrpc_txbuf struct and log this in the retransmit tracepoint.

 (2) Don't use atomics on rxrpc_txbuf::flags[*] and cache the intended wire
     header flags there too to avoid duplication.

 (3) Cache the wire checksum in rxrpc_txbuf to make it easier to create
     jumbo packets in future (which will require altering the wire header
     to a jumbo header and restoring it back again for retransmission).

 (4) Fix the protocol names in the wire ACK trailer struct.

 (5) Strip all the barriers and atomics out of the call timer tracking[*].

 (6) Remove atomic handling from call->tx_transmitted and
     call->acks_prev_seq[*].

 (7) Don't bother resetting the DF flag after UDP packet transmission.  To
     change it, we now call directly into UDP code, so it's quick just to
     set it every time.

 (8) Merge together the DF/non-DF branches of the DATA transmission to
     reduce duplication in the code.

 (9) Add a kvec array into rxrpc_txbuf and start moving things over to it.
     This paves the way for using page frags.

(10) Split (sub)packet preparation and timestamping out of the DATA
     transmission function.  This helps pave the way for future jumbo
     packet generation.

(11) In rxkad, don't pick values out of the wire header stored in
     rxrpc_txbuf, buf rather find them elsewhere so we can remove the wire
     header from there.

(12) Move rxrpc_send_ACK() to output.c so that it can be merged with
     rxrpc_send_ack_packet().

(13) Use rxrpc_txbuf::kvec[0] to access the wire header for the packet
     rather than directly accessing the copy in rxrpc_txbuf.  This will
     allow that to be removed to a page frag.

(14) Switch from keeping the transmission buffers in rxrpc_txbuf allocated
     in the slab to allocating them using page fragment allocators.  There
     are separate allocators for DATA packets (which persist for a while)
     and control packets (which are discarded immediately).

     We can then turn on MSG_SPLICE_PAGES when transmitting DATA and ACK
     packets.

     We can also get rid of the RCU cleanup on rxrpc_txbufs, preferring
     instead to release the page frags as soon as possible.

(15) Parse received packets before handling timeouts as the former may
     reset the latter.

(16) Make sure we don't retransmit DATA packets after all the packets have
     been ACK'd.

(17) Differentiate traces for PING ACK transmission.

(18) Switch to keeping timeouts as ktime_t rather than a number of jiffies
     as the latter is too coarse a granularity.  Only set the call timer at
     the end of the call event function from the aggregate of all the
     timeouts, thereby reducing the number of timer calls made.  In future,
     it might be possible to reduce the number of timers from one per call
     to one per I/O thread and to use a high-precision timer.

(19) Record RTT probes after successful transmission rather than recording
     it before and then cancelling it after if unsuccessful[*].  This
     allows a number of calls to get the current time to be removed.

(20) Clean up the resend algorithm as there's now no need to walk the
     transmission buffer under lock[*].  DATA packets can be retransmitted
     as soon as they're found rather than being queued up and transmitted
     when the locked is dropped.

(21) When initially parsing a received ACK packet, extract some of the
     fields from the ack info to the skbuff private data.  This makes it
     easier to do path MTU discovery in the future when the call to which a
     PING RESPONSE ACK refers has been deallocated.

[*] Possible with the move of almost all code from softirq context to the
    I/O thread.
