Subject: [PATCH net 3/3] rxrpc: Fix afs large storage transmission performance drop
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2020 08:50:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <159246663560.1229328.1476552302291944463.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <159246661514.1229328.4419873299996950969.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk>

Commit 2ad6691d988c, which moved the modification of the status annotation
for a packet in the Tx buffer prior to the retransmission moved the state
clearance, but managed to lose the bit that set it to UNACK.

Consequently, if a retransmission occurs, the packet is accidentally
changed to the ACK state (ie. 0) by masking it off, which means that the
packet isn't counted towards the tally of newly-ACK'd packets if it gets
hard-ACK'd.  This then prevents the congestion control algorithm from
recovering properly.

Fix by reinstating the change of state to UNACK.

Spotted by the generic/460 xfstest.

Fixes: 2ad6691d988c ("rxrpc: Fix race between incoming ACK parser and retransmitter")
