OpenAFS doesn't always correctly terminate client calls that it makes - this includes calls the OpenAFS servers make to the cache manager service. It should end the client call with either: (1) An ACK that has firstPacket set to one greater than the seq number of the reply DATA packet with the LAST_PACKET flag set (thereby hard-ACK'ing all packets). nAcks should be 0 and acks[] should be empty (ie. no soft-ACKs). (2) An ACKALL packet. OpenAFS, though, may send an ACK packet with firstPacket set to the last seq number or less and soft-ACKs listed for all packets up to and including the last DATA packet. The transmitter, however, is obliged to keep the call live and the soft-ACK'd DATA packets around until they're hard-ACK'd as the receiver is permitted to drop any merely soft-ACK'd packet and request retransmission by sending an ACK packet with a NACK in it. Further, OpenAFS will also terminate a client call by beginning the next client call on the same connection channel. This implicitly completes the previous call. This patch handles implicit ACK of a call on a channel by the reception of the first packet of the next call on that channel. If another call doesn't come along to implicitly ACK a call, then we have to time the call out. There are some bugs there that will be addressed in subsequent patches.
