/*
* linux/net/sunrpc/xprt.c
*
* This is a generic RPC call interface supporting congestion avoidance,
* and asynchronous calls.
*
* The interface works like this:
*
* - When a process places a call, it allocates a request slot if
* one is available. Otherwise, it sleeps on the backlog queue
* (xprt_reserve).
* - Next, the caller puts together the RPC message, stuffs it into
* the request struct, and calls xprt_transmit().
* - xprt_transmit sends the message and installs the caller on the
* transport's wait list. At the same time, if a reply is expected,
* it installs a timer that is run after the packet's timeout has
* expired.
* - When a packet arrives, the data_ready handler walks the list of
* pending requests for that transport. If a matching XID is found, the
* caller is woken up, and the timer removed.
* - When no reply arrives within the timeout interval, the timer is
* fired by the kernel and runs xprt_timer(). It either adjusts the
* timeout values (minor timeout) or wakes up the caller with a status
* of -ETIMEDOUT.
* - When the caller receives a notification from RPC that a reply arrived,
* it should release the RPC slot, and process the reply.
* If the call timed out, it may choose to retry the operation by
* adjusting the initial timeout value, and simply calling rpc_call
* again.
*
* Support for async RPC is done through a set of RPC-specific scheduling
* primitives that `transparently' work for processes as well as async
* tasks that rely on callbacks.
