Implement the basic round trip timing algorithm in order to adapt the timeout values for the most common NFS operations to the server's rate of response. Algorithm is described in Van Jacobson's paper 1998 paper on http://www-nrg.ee.lbl.gov/nrg-papers.html, and is the same as is used for most TCP stacks. Following the *BSD code, we implement separate rtt timers for GETATTR, LOOKUP, READ/READDIR/READLINK, and WRITE. In addition to this, there is one extra timer for the COMMIT operation. All the remaining RPC calls use the current system in which a fixed timeout value gets set by the 'timeo' mount option. In case of a timeout, the current exponential backoff algoritm is implemented. Subsequent patches will improve this...
