timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

Make use of the per-peer application data that rxrpc now allows the
application to store on the rxrpc_peer struct to hold a back pointer to the
afs_server record that peer represents an endpoint for.

Then, when a call comes in to the AFS cache manager, this can be used to
map it to the correct server record rather than having to use a
UUID-to-server mapping table and having to do an additional lookup.

Provide a way for the application (e.g. the afs filesystem) to store
private data on the rxrpc_peer structs for later retrieval via the call
object.

This will allow afs to store a pointer to the afs_server object on the
rxrpc_peer struct, thereby obviating the need for afs to keep lookup tables
by which it can associate an incoming call with server that transmitted it.

The peer-&gt;mtu_lock is only used to lock around writes to peer-&gt;max_data -
and nothing else; further, all such writes take place in the I/O thread and
the lock is only ever write-locked and never read-locked.

In a couple of places, the write_seqcount_begin() is wrapped in
preempt_disable/enable(), but not in all places.  This can cause lockdep to
complain:

rxrpc: Fix alteration of headers whilst zerocopy pending

AF_RXRPC now uses MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to do zerocopy of the DATA packets when
it transmits them, but to reduce the number of descriptors required in the
DMA ring, it allocates a space for the protocol header in the memory
immediately before the data content so that it can include both in a single
descriptor.  This is used for either the main RX header or the smaller
jumbo subpacket header as appropriate:

  +----+------+
  | RX |      |
  +-+--+DATA  |
    |JH|      |
    +--+------+

Now, when it stitches a large jumbo packet together from a number of
individual DATA packets (each of which is 1412 bytes of data), it uses the
full RX header from the first and then the jumbo subpacket header for the
rest of the components:

  +---+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+
  |UDP|RX|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |JH|DATA  |
  +---+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+--+------+

As mentioned, the main RX header and the jumbo header overlay one another
in memory and the formats don't match, so switching from one to the other
means rearranging the fields and adjusting the flags.

However, now that TLP has been included, it wants to retransmit the last
subpacket as a new data packet on its own, which means switching between
the header formats... and if the transmission is still pending, because of
the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, we end up corrupting the jumbo subheader.

This has a variety of effects, with the RX service number overwriting the
jumbo checksum/key number field and the RX checksum overwriting the jumbo
flags - resulting in, at the very least, a confused connection-level abort
from the peer.

Fix this by leaving the jumbo header in the allocation with the data, but
allocating the RX header from the page frag allocator and concocting it on
the fly at the point of transmission as it does for ACK packets.

However, now that TLP has been included, it wants to retransmit the last
subpacket as a new data packet on its own, which means switching between
the header formats... and if the transmission is still pending, because of
the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, we end up corrupting the jumbo subheader.

This has a variety of effects, with the RX service number overwriting the
jumbo checksum/key number field and the RX checksum overwriting the jumbo
flags - resulting in, at the very least, a confused connection-level abort
from the peer.

Fix this by leaving the jumbo header in the allocation with the data, but
allocating the RX header from the page frag allocator and concocting it on
the fly at the point of transmission as it does for ACK packets.

<title>rxrpc: Fix race in call state changing vs recvmsg()</title>

There's a race in between the rxrpc I/O thread recording the end of the
receive phase of a call and recvmsg() examining the state of the call to
determine whether it has completed.

The problem is that call-&gt;_state records the I/O thread's view of the call,
not the application's view (which may lag), so that alone is not
sufficient.  To this end, the application also checks whether there is
anything left in call-&gt;recvmsg_queue for it to pick up.  The call must be
in state RXRPC_CALL_COMPLETE and the recvmsg_queue empty for the call to be
considered fully complete.

In rxrpc_input_queue_data(), the latest skbuff is added to the queue and
then, if it was marked as LAST_PACKET, the state is advanced...  But this
is two separate operations with no locking around them.

As a consequence, the lack of locking means that sendmsg() can jump into
the gap on a service call and attempt to send the reply - but then get
rejected because the I/O thread hasn't advanced the state yet.

Simply flipping the order in which things are done isn't an option as that
impacts the client side, causing the checks in rxrpc_kernel_check_life() as
to whether the call is still alive to race instead.

Fix this by moving the update of call-&gt;_state inside the skb queue
spinlocked section where the packet is queued on the I/O thread side.

rxrpc's recvmsg() will then automatically sync against this because it has
to take the call-&gt;recvmsg_queue spinlock in order to dequeue the last
packet.

rxrpc's sendmsg() doesn't need amending as the app shouldn't be calling it
to send a reply until recvmsg() indicates it has returned all of the
request.

<title>rxrpc: Fix call state set to not include the SERVER_SECURING state</title>

The RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state doesn't really belong with the other
states in the call's state set as the other states govern the call's Rx/Tx
phase transition and govern when packets can and can't be received or
transmitted.  The "Securing" state doesn't actually govern the reception of
packets and would need to be split depending on whether or not we've
received the last packet yet (to mirror RECV_REQUEST/ACK_REQUEST).

The "Securing" state is more about whether or not we can start forwarding
packets to the application as recvmsg will need to decode them and the
decoding can't take place until the challenge/response exchange has
completed.

Fix this by removing the RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_SECURING state from the state
set and, instead, using a flag, RXRPC_CALL_CONN_CHALLENGING, to track
whether or not we can queue the call for reception by recvmsg() or notify
the kernel app that data is ready.  In the event that we've already
received all the packets, the connection event handler will poke the app
layer in the appropriate manner.

Also there's a race whereby the app layer sees the last packet before rxrpc
has managed to end the rx phase and change the state to one amenable to
allowing a reply.  Fix this by queuing the packet after calling
rxrpc_end_rx_phase().
