We need to scan the buffers in the transmission queue occasionally when processing ACKs, but the transmission queue is currently a linked list of transmission buffers which, when we eventually expand the Tx window to 8192 packets will be very slow to walk. Instead, pull the fields we need to examine a lot (last sent time, retransmitted flag) into a new struct rxrpc_txqueue and make each one hold an array of 32 or 64 packets. The transmission queue is then a list of these structs, each pointing to a contiguous set of packets. Scanning is then a lot faster as the flags and timestamps are concentrated in the CPU dcache. The transmission timestamps are stored as a number of microseconds from a base ktime to reduce memory requirements. This should be fine provided we manage to transmit an entire buffer within an hour. This will make implementing RACK-TLP [RFC8985] easier as it will be less costly to scan the transmission buffers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
