    rxrpc: Allow the reply time to be obtained on a client call · e908bcf4
    David Howells authored
    Allow the epoch value to be queried on a server connection.  This is in the
    rxrpc header of every packet for use in routing and is derived from the
    client's state.  It's also not supposed to change unless the client gets
    restarted.
    
    AFS can make use of this information to deduce whether a fileserver has
    been restarted because the fileserver makes client calls to the filesystem
    driver's cache manager to send notifications (ie. callback breaks) about
    conflicting changes from other clients.  These convey the fileserver's own
    epoch value back to the filesystem.
