[ Upstream commit fadc0f3bb2de8c570ced6d9c1f97222213d93140 ]
RFC2203 requires that retransmitted messages use a new gss sequence
number, but the same XID. This means that if the server is just slow
(e.x. overloaded), the client might receive a response using an older
seqno than the one it has recorded.
Currently, Linux's client immediately retransmits in this case. However,
this leads to a lot of wasted retransmits until the server eventually
responds faster than the client can resend.
Client -> SEQ 1 -> Server
Client -> SEQ 2 -> Server
Client <- SEQ 1 <- Server (misses, expecting seqno = 2)
Client -> SEQ 3 -> Server (immediate retransmission on miss)
Client <- SEQ 2 <- Server (misses, expecting seqno = 3)
Client -> SEQ 4 -> Server (immediate retransmission on miss)
... and so on ...
This commit makes it so that we ignore messages with bad checksums
due to seqnum mismatch, and rely on the usual timeout behavior for
retransmission instead of doing so immediately.
