Make the following changes to the calculation and use of RTO:
(1) Fix rxrpc_resend() to use the backed-off RTO value obtained by calling
rxrpc_get_rto_backoff() rather than extracting the value itself.
Without this, it may retransmit packets too early.
(2) The RTO value being similar to the RTT causes a lot of extraneous
resends because the RTT doesn't end up taking account of clearing out
of the receive queue on the server. Worse, responses to PING-ACKs are
made as fast as possible and so are less than the DATA-requested-ACK
RTT and so skew the RTT down.
Fix this by putting a lower bound on the RTO by adding 100ms to it and
limiting the lower end to 200ms.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
