Subject: [PATCH v3 09/12] SUNRPC: Record last-request timestamp on svc_xprt
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 09:54:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910-duplicate-reply-cache-v3-9-31532a4c7449@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260910-duplicate-reply-cache-v3-0-31532a4c7449@kernel.org>
On a connection-oriented transport, the arrival of a later request
suggests the client received the prior reply. It is not proof: a
client with several requests outstanding sends the next one without
waiting for a reply.
Add xpt_last_recv to struct svc_xprt. svc_handle_xprt() samples
jiffies before calling xpo_recvfrom() and publishes the sample after
a successful receive. The DRC reads this value as a best-effort
signal that a completed reply has been delivered.
