H A D | recvmsg.c | 5a2c5a5b Tue Jan 31 15:40:18 CST 2023 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> rxrpc: Reduce unnecessary ack transmission
rxrpc_recvmsg_data() schedules an ACK to be transmitted every time at least two packets have been consumed and any time it runs out of data and would return -EAGAIN to the caller. Both events may occur within a single loop, however, and if the I/O thread is quick enough it may send duplicate ACKs.
The ACKs are sent to inform the peer that more space has been made in the local Rx window, but the I/O thread is going to send an ACK every couple of DATA packets anyway, so we end up sending a lot more ACKs than we really need to.
So reduce the rate at which recvmsg() schedules ACKs, such that if the I/O thread sends ACKs at its normal faster rate, recvmsg() won't actually schedule ACKs until the Rx flow stops (call->rx_consumed is cleared any time we transmit an ACK for that call, resetting the counter used by recvmsg).
