fddc2feb94 [CCID3]: More to see in dccp_probe
This adds a few more fields of interest to /proc/net/dccpprobe, the following output ensues:

1           2          3           4     5  6     7   8        9        10   11
sec.usec   src:sport   dst:dport   size  s  rtt   p   X_calc   X_recv   X    t_ipi

Also made the formatting consistent.

ac12b0c495 [DCCP]: Always use debug-toggle parameters
Currently debugging output (when configured) is automatically enabled when
DCCP modules are compiled into the kernel rather than built as loadable modules.
This is not necessary, since the module parameters in this case become kernel
commandline parameters, e.g. DCCP or CCID3 debug output can be enabled for a
static build by appending the following at the boot prompt:

	dccp.dccp_debug=1 	dccp_ccid3.ccid3_debug=1

This patch therefore does away with the more complicated way of always enabling
debug output for static builds

1266adee12 [CCID3]: Remove race condition and update t_ipi when `s' changes
This:

 1. removes a race condition in the access to the scheduled send time t_nom which
    results from allowing asynchronous r/w access to t_nom without locks;

 2. updates the inter-packet interval t_ipi = s/X when `s' changes, following a
    suggestion by Ian McDonald.

371fe7779c [CCID3]: Use MSS for larger initial windows
This improves the slow-start phase by using the MSS
(as suggested in RFC 4342, sec. 5) instead of the packet size s.
Also figured out that __u32 is ample resource enough.

After applying, I got the following in the logs:

  ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: client(f7421700), s=6, MSS=1424, w_init=4380, R_sample=176us, X=24886363

Had the previous variant been used, w_init would have been as low as 24.

Committer note: removed unneeded cast to unsigned long long that was
                causing a compiler warning on 64bit architectures.

8d13bf9a0b [DCCP]: Remove ambiguity in the way before48 is used
This removes two ambiguities in employing the new definition of before48,
following the analysis on http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01295.html

 (1) Updating GSR when P.seqno >= S.SWL
     With the old definition we did not update when P.seqno and S.SWL are 2^47 apart. To
     ensure the same behaviour as with the old definition, this is replaced with the
     equivalent condition dccp_delta_seqno(S.SWL, P.seqno) >= 0

 (2) Sending SYNC when P.seqno >= S.OSR
     Here it is debatable whether the new definition causes an ambiguity: the case is
     similar to (1); and to have consistency with the case (1), we use the equivalent
     condition dccp_delta_seqno(S.OSR, P.seqno) >= 0

b16be51b5e [DCCP]: Fix for follows48
The follows48 relation identifies whether 48-bit sequence number
x is the direct successor of y. Currently, it does not handle cases
of the following type correctly:

	follows48(0x(prefix)10000LL, 0x(prefix)0FFFFLL)

where prefix is an arbitrary hex sequence of up to 7 digits.

This is fixed by reusing the new dccp_delta_seqno function.

6b811d43f6 [DCCP]: 48-bit sequence number arithmetic
This patch
 * organizes the sequence arithmetic functions into one corner of dccp.h
 * performs a small modification of dccp_set_seqno to make it more widely reusable
   (now it is safe to use any number, since it performs modulo-2^48 assignment)
 * adds functions and generic macros for 48-bit sequence arithmetic:
 	--48 bit complement
 	--modulo-48 addition and modulo-48 subtraction
	--dccp_inc_seqno now a special case of add48
Constants renamed following a suggestion by Arnaldo.

aabb601b0f [DCCP]: Initialise write_xmit_timer also on passive sockets
The TX CCID needs the write_xmit_timer for delaying packet sends. Previously
this timer was only activated on active (connecting) sockets.

This patch initialises the write_xmit_timer in sync with the other timers, i.e.
the timer will be ready on any socket. This is used by applications with a
listening socket which start to stream after receiving an initiation by the
client.  The write_xmit_timer is stopped when the application closes, as before.

Was tested to work and to remove the timer bug reported on dccp@vger.

Also moved timer initialisation into timer.c (static).

151a99317e [DCCP]: Revert patch which disables bidirectional mode
This reverts an earlier patch which disabled bidirectional mode, meaning that
a listening (passive) socket was not allowed to write to the other (active)
end of the connection.

This mode had been disabled when there were problems with CCID3, but it
imposes a constraint on socket programming and thus hinders deployment.

A change is included to ignore RX feedback received by the TX CCID3 module.

0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

dbca9b2750 [NET]: change layout of ehash table
ehash table layout is currently this one :

First half of this table is used by sockets not in TIME_WAIT state
Second half of it is used by sockets in TIME_WAIT state.

This is non optimal because of for a given hash or socket, the two chain heads 
are located in separate cache lines.
Moreover the locks of the second half are never used.

If instead of this halving, we use two list heads in inet_ehash_bucket instead 
of only one, we probably can avoid one cache miss, and reduce ram usage, 
particularly if sizeof(rwlock_t) is big (various CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, 
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC settings). So we still halves the table but we keep 
together related chains to speedup lookups and socket state change.

In this patch I did not try to align struct inet_ehash_bucket, but a future 
patch could try to make this structure have a convenient size (a power of two 
or a multiple of L1_CACHE_SIZE).
I guess rwlock will just vanish as soon as RCU is plugged into ehash :) , so 
maybe we dont need to scratch our heads to align the bucket...

Note : In case struct inet_ehash_bucket is not a power of two, we could 
probably change alloc_large_system_hash() (in case it use __get_free_pages()) 
to free the unused space. It currently allocates a big zone, but the last 
quarter of it could be freed. Again, this should be a temporary 'problem'.

Patch tested on ipv4 tcp only, but should be OK for IPV6 and DCCP.

the definition of suseconds_t it should just be an 'int' on platforms where it
is >= 32bits, it would not require all the castings from suseconds_t to (int)
when printking variables of this type, that are not needed on parisc64 and

a967241129 [DCCP] ccid3: Make debug output consistent
This patch does not alter any algorithm, just the debug message format:

 * s#%s, sk=%p#%s(%p)#g

 * when a statename is present, it now uses %s(%p, state=%s)

 * when only function entry is debugged, it adds an `- entry'

c5a1ae9a4c [DCCP] ccid3: Perform history operations only after packet has been sent
This migrates all packet history operations into the routine
 ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent, thereby removing synchronization problems
 that occur when, as before, the operations are spread over multiple
 routines.
 The following minor simplifications are also applied:
  * several simplifications now follow from this change - several tests
    are now no longer required
  * removal of one unnecessary variable (dp)

Justification:

 Currently packet history operations span two different routines,
 one of which is likely to pass through several iterations of sleeping
 and awakening.
 The first routine, ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet, allocates an entry and
 sets a few fields. The remaining fields are filled in when the second
 routine (which is not within a sleeping context), ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent,
 is called. This has several strong drawbacks:
  * it is not necessary to split history operations - all fields can be
    filled in by the second routine
  * the first routine is called multiple times, until a packet can be sent,
    and sleeps meanwhile - this causes a lot of difficulties with regard to
    keeping the list consistent
  * since both routines do not have a producer-consumer like synchronization,
    it is very difficult to maintain data across calls to these routines
  * the fact that the routines are called in different contexts (sleeping, not
    sleeping) adds further problems

This removes the `dccphtx_ccval' field since it is nowhere used in the code and

9f8681db96 [DCCP] ccid3: Shift window counter computation
This puts the window counter computation [RFC 4342, 8.1] into a separate
 function which is called whenever a new packet is ready for immediate
 transmission in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet.

Justification:

 The window counter update was previously computed after the packet was sent. This has
 two drawbacks, both fixed by this patch:
   1) re-compute another timestamp almost directly after the packet was sent (expensive),
   2) the CCVal for the window counter is needed at the instant the packet is sent.

Further details:

 The initialisation of the window counter is left in the state NO_SENT, as before.
 The algorithm will do nothing if either RTT is initialised to 0 (which is ok) or if
 the RTT value remains below 4 microseconds (which is almost pathological).

de553c189e [DCCP] ccid3: Sanity-check RTT samples
CCID3 performance depends much on the accuracy of RTT samples.  If RTT
samples grow too large, performance can be catastrophically poor.

To limit the amount of possible damage in such cases, the patch
 * introduces an upper limit which identifies a maximum `sane' RTT value;
 * uses a macro to enforce this upper limit.

Using a macro was given preference, since it is necessary to identify the
calling function in the warning message. Since exceeding this threshold
identifies a critical condition, DCCP_CRIT is used and not DCCP_WARN.

Many thanks to Ian McDonald for collaboration on this issue.

fe0499ae95 [DCCP] ccid3: Initialise RTT values
In both the sender and the receiver it is possible that the stored
RTT value is accessed before an actual RTT estimate has been computed.

This patch
 * initialises the sender RTT to 0
     - the sender always accesses the RTT in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent
     - the RTT is further needed for the window counter algorithm

 * replaces the receiver initialisation of 5msec with 0
     - which has the same effect and removes an `XXX'
     - the RTT value is needed in ccid3_hc_rx_packet_recv as rtt_prev

65d6c2b42e [DCCP] ccid: Deprecate ccid_hc_tx_insert_options
The function ccid3_hc_tx_insert_options only does a redundant no-op,
 as the operation

  DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_ccval = hctx->ccid3hctx_last_win_count;

 is already performed _unconditionally_ in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet.

 Since there is further no current need for this function, it is removed
 entirely. Since furthermore, there is actually no present need for the
 entire interface function ccid_hc_tx_insert_options, it was decided to
 remove it also, to clean up the interface.

f6282f4da5 [DCCP]: Warn when discarding packet due to internal errors
This adds a (debug) warning message which is triggered whenever a packet is
discarded due to send failure.

It also adds a conditional, so that an interruption during dccp_wait_for_ccid
is not treated as a `BUG': the rationale is that interruptions are external,
whereas bug warnings are concerned with the internals.

bf58a381e8 [DCCP]: Only deliver to the CCID rx side in charge
This is an optimisation to reduce CPU load. The received feedback is now
only directed to the active CCID component, without requiring processing
also by the inactive one.

As a consequence, a similar test in ccid3.c is now redundant and is
also removed.

Justification:

 Currently DCCP works as a unidirectional service, i.e. a listening server
 is not at the same time a connecting client.
 As far as I can see, several modifications are necessary until that
 becomes possible.
 At the present time, received feedback is both fed to the rx/tx CCID
 modules. In unidirectional service, only one of these is active at any
 one time.

d63d8364cf [DCCP]: Simplify TFRC calculation
In migrating towards using the newer functions scaled_div/scaled_div32
for TFRC computations mapped from floating-point onto integer arithmetic,
this completes the last stage of modifications.

In particular, the overflow case for computing X_calc is circumvented by
 * breaking the computation into two stages
 * the first stage, res = (s*1E6)/R, cannot overflow due to use of u64
 * in the second stage, res = (res*1E6)/f, overflow on u32 is avoided due
   to (i) returning UINT_MAX in this case (which is logically appropriate)
   and (ii) issuing a warning message into the system log (since very likely
   there is a problem somewhere else with the parameters)

Lastly, all such scaling operations are now exported into tfrc.h, since
actually this form of scaled computation is specific to TFRC and not to CCID3.
