The final ACK that closes out an rxrpc call needs to be transmitted by the client unless we're going to follow up with a DATA packet for a new call on the same channel (which implicitly ACK's the previous call, thereby saving an ACK). Currently, we don't do that, so if no follow on call is immediately forthcoming, the server will resend the last DATA packet - at which point rxrpc_conn_retransmit_call() will be triggered and will (re)send the final ACK. But the server has to hold on to the last packet until the ACK is received, thereby holding up its resources. Fix the client side to propose a delayed final ACK, to be transmitted after a short delay, assuming the call isn't superseded by a new one. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
