[PATCH net 13/13] rxrpc: Don't request an ACK on the last DATA packet of a call's Tx phase

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Oct 06 2016 - 06:05:34 EST


Don't request an ACK on the last DATA packet of a call's Tx phase as for a
client there will be a reply packet or some sort of ACK to shift phase. If
the ACK is requested, OpenAFS sends a REQUESTED-ACK ACK with soft-ACKs in
it and doesn't follow up with a hard-ACK.

If we don't set the flag, OpenAFS will send a DELAY ACK that hard-ACKs the
reply data, thereby allowing the call to terminate cleanly.
