This patch removes a bug in the current code. I agree with Andrea's comment
that there is a problem here but the way it is treated does not fix it.
The problem is that whenever Ack Ratio > cwnd, starvation/deadlock occurs:
* the receiver will not send an Ack until (Ack Ratio - cwnd) data packets
have arrived;
* the sender will not send any data packet before the receipt of an Ack
advances the send window.
The only way that the connection then progresses was via RTO timeout. In one
extreme case (bulk transfer), it was observed that this happened for every single
packet; i.e. hundreds of packets, each a RTO timeout of 1..3 seconds apart:
a transfer which normally would take a fraction of a second thus grew to
several minutes.
The solution taken by this approach is to observe the relation
"Ack Ratio <= cwnd"
by using the constraint (1) from RFC 4341, 6.1.2; i.e. set
Ack Ratio = ceil(cwnd / 2)
and update it whenever either Ack Ratio or cwnd change. This ensures that
the deadlock problem can not arise.

In CCID2 the receiver-history is sorted in ascending order of sequence number,
but the processing of received Ack Vectors requires the list traversal in the
opposite direction.
The current code has a bug in this regard: the list traversal is upwards. As a
consequence, only Ack Vectors with a run length of 1 will pass, in all other
Ack Vectors the remaining (acked) sequence numbers are missed, and may later
falsely be identified as lost.
Note: This bug is only visible when Ack Ratio > 1, since otherwise the run
lengths of Ack Vectors are 0.

This patch addresses the following problems:
1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module
enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to
disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely
non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available.
Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without
CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation.
2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2
(DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig
menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when
trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID).
3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a
`minimum common denominator'; the specification says that:
* "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints"
* "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a
general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2.
The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]"
Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable.
Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added.

This extends the DCCP socket API by honouring any shutdown(2) option set by the user.
The behaviour is, as much as possible, made consistent with the API for TCP's shutdown.
This patch exploits the information provided by the user via the socket API to reduce
processing costs:
* if the read end is closed (SHUT_RD), it is not necessary to deliver to input CCID;
* if the write end is closed (SHUT_WR), the same idea applies, but with a difference -
as long as the TX queue has not been drained, we need to receive feedback to keep
congestion-control rates up to date. Hence SHUT_WR is honoured only after the last
packet (under congestion control) has been sent;
* although SHUT_RDWR seems nonsensical, it is nevertheless supported in the same manner
as for TCP (and agrees with test for SHUTDOWN_MASK in dccp_poll() in net/dccp/proto.c).
Furthermore, most of the code already honours the sk_shutdown flags (dccp_recvmsg() for
instance sets the read length to 0 if SHUT_RD had been called); CCID handling is now added
to this by the present patch.
There will also no longer be any delivery when the socket is in the final stages, i.e. when
one of dccp_close(), dccp_fin(), or dccp_done() has been called - which is fine since at
that stage the connection is its final stages.
Motivation and background are on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/shutdown
A FIXME has been added to notify the other end if SHUT_RD has been set (RFC 4340, 11.7).
Note: There is a comment in inet_shutdown() in net/ipv4/af_inet.c which asks to "make
sure the socket is a TCP socket". This should probably be extended to mean
`TCP or DCCP socket' (the code is also used by UDP and raw sockets).

This patch fixes a previously undiscovered bug; the problem is in computing
the elapsed time as the time between `receiving' the packet (i.e. skb enters
CCID module) and sending feedback:
- there is no layer-processing, queueing, or delay involved,
- hence the elapsed time is in the order of 1 function call
- this is in the dimension of maximally 50..100usec
- which renders the use of elapsed time almost entirely useless.
The fix is simply to ignore such trivial amounts of elapsed time.
As a further advantage, the now useless elapsed_time field can be removed from
the socket, which reduces the socket structure by another four bytes.

As done two years ago on IP route cache table (commit
22c047ccbc) , we can avoid using one
lock per hash bucket for the huge TCP/DCCP hash tables.
On a typical x86_64 platform, this saves about 2MB or 4MB of ram, for
litle performance differences. (we hit a different cache line for the
rwlock, but then the bucket cache line have a better sharing factor
among cpus, since we dirty it less often). For netstat or ss commands
that want a full scan of hash table, we perform fewer memory accesses.
Using a 'small' table of hashed rwlocks should be more than enough to
provide correct SMP concurrency between different buckets, without
using too much memory. Sizing of this table depends on
num_possible_cpus() and various CONFIG settings.
This patch provides some locking abstraction that may ease a future
work using a different model for TCP/DCCP table.

Assigning initial values of `0' is redundant when loading a new CCID structure,
since in net/dccp/ccid.c the entire CCID structure is zeroed out prior to
initialisation in ccid_new():
struct ccid {
struct ccid_operations *ccid_ops;
char ccid_priv[0];
};
// ...
if (rx) {
memset(ccid + 1, 0, ccid_ops->ccid_hc_rx_obj_size);
if (ccid->ccid_ops->ccid_hc_rx_init != NULL &&
ccid->ccid_ops->ccid_hc_rx_init(ccid, sk) != 0)
goto out_free_ccid;
} else {
memset(ccid + 1, 0, ccid_ops->ccid_hc_tx_obj_size);
/* analogous to the rx case */
}

This adds support for converting the 11 currently defined Reset codes into system

This makes the externally visible API behaviour similar to TCP, since a client
connecting to a non-existing port will experience ECONNREFUSED.
* Code 0, Unspecified, is interpreted as non-error (0);
* Code 1, Closed (normal termination), also maps into 0;
* Code 2, Aborted, maps into "Connection reset by peer" (ECONNRESET);
* Code 3, No Connection and
Code 7, Connection Refused, map into "Connection refused" (ECONNREFUSED);
* Code 4, Packet Error, maps into "No message of desired type" (ENOMSG);
* Code 5, Option Error, maps into "Illegal byte sequence" (EILSEQ);
* Code 6, Mandatory Error, maps into "Operation not supported on transport endpoint" (EOPNOTSUPP);
* Code 8, Bad Service Code, maps into "Invalid request code" (EBADRQC);
* Code 9, Too Busy, maps into "Too many users" (EUSERS);
* Code 10, Bad Init Cookie, maps into "Invalid request descriptor" (EBADR);

This fixes the following problem: client connects to peer which has no DCCP
enabled or loaded; ICMP error messages ("Protocol Unavailable") can be seen
on the wire, but the application hangs. Reason: ICMP packets don't get through
to dccp_v4_err.
When reporting errors, a sequence number check is made for the DCCP packet
that had caused an ICMP error to arrive.
Such checks can not be made if the socket is in state LISTEN, RESPOND (which
in the implementation is the same as LISTEN), or REQUEST, since update_gsr()
has not been called in these states, hence the sequence window is 0..0.
This patch fixes the problem by adding the REQUEST state as another exemption
to the window check. The error reporting now works as expected on connecting.

This fixes two bugs in processing of connection-Requests in
v{4,6}_conn_request:
1. Due to using the variable `reset_code', the Reset code generated
internally by dccp_parse_options() is overwritten with the
initialised value ("Too Busy") of reset_code, which is not what is
intended.
2. When receiving a connection-Request on a multicast or broadcast
address, no Reset should be generated, to avoid storms of such
packets. Instead of jumping to the `drop' label, the
v{4,6}_conn_request functions now return 0. Below is why in my
understanding this is correct:
When the conn_request function returns < 0, then the caller,
dccp_rcv_state_process(), returns 1. In all instances where
dccp_rcv_state_process is called (dccp_v4_do_rcv, dccp_v6_do_rcv,
and dccp_child_process), a return value of != 0 from
dccp_rcv_state_process() means that a Reset is generated.
If on the other hand the conn_request function returns 0, the
packet is discarded and no Reset is generated.
Note: There may be a related problem when sending the Response, due to
the following.
if (dccp_v6_send_response(sk, req, NULL))
goto drop_and_free;
/* ... */
drop_and_free:
return -1;
In this case, if send_response fails due to transmission errors, the
next thing that is generated is a Reset with a code "Too Busy". I
haven't been able to conjure up such a condition, but it might be good
to change the behaviour here also (not done by this patch).

This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4:
"To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD
impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets,
such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second."
The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent
policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and
protects against attacks with forged source addresses.
Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to
xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets
are not supported. This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync
triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against
xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.)
In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and
the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended).
The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues
thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo.
Commiter note: Rate limited the step 6 DCCP_WARN too, as it says we're

In this patch, duplicated code is removed for the case when a Reset packet is
sent from a connected socket. This code duplication is between dccp_make_reset
and dccp_transmit_skb, which already contained an (up to now entirely unused)
switch statement to fill in the reset code from the DCCP_SKB_CB.
The only thing that has been removed is the call to dst_clone(dst), since
the queue_xmit functions use sk_dst_cache anyway.

This updates sequence number checking with regard to RFC 4340, 7.5.4.
Missing in the code was an exception for sequence-invalid Reset packets,
which get a Sync acknowledging GSR, instead of (as usual) P.seqno.
This can lead to an oscillating ping-pong flood of Reset packets.
In fact, it has been observed on the wire as follows:
1. client establishes connection to server;
2. before server can write to client, client crashes without notifying
the server (NB: now no longer possible due to ABORT function);
3. server sends DCCP-Data packet (has no ackno);
4. client generates Reset "No Connection", seqno=0, increments seqno;
5. server replies with Sync, using ackno = P.seqno;
6. client generates Reset "No Connection" with seqno = ackno + 1;
7. goto (5).
The difference is that now in (5) the server uses GSR. This causes the
Reset sent by the client in (6) to become sequence-valid, so that in (7)
the vicious circle is broken; the Reset is then enqueued and causes the
socket to enter TIMEWAIT state.

The third parameter of dccp_sample_rtt now becomes useless and is removed.
Also combined the subtraction of the timestamp echo and the elapsed time.
This is safe, since (a) presence of timestamp echo is tested first and (b)
elapsed time is either present and non-zero or it is not set and equals 0
due to the memset in dccp_parse_options.
To avoid measuring option-processing time, the timestamp for measuring the
initial Request/Response RTT sample is taken directly when the function is
called (the Linux implementation always adds a timestamp on the Request,
so there is no loss in doing this).

This patch reduces the number of timestamps taken in the receive path
for each packet.
The ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() routine is called in
* the receive path for each CCID3-controlled packet
* for the nofeedback timer (if no feedback arrives during 4 RTT)
Currently, when there is no loss, each packet gets timestamped twice.
The patch resolves this by recycling the first timestamp taken on packet
reception for RTT sampling.
When the no_feedback_timer() is called, then the timestamp argument is
simply set to NULL - so that ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() takes care of the logic.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet currently returns 0 when the time difference between
current time and t_nom is less than 1000 microseconds.
In this case the packet is sent immediately; but, unlike other packets that can
be emitted on first attempt, it will not have its window counter updated and
its options set as required. This is a bug.
Fix: Require the time difference to be at least 1000 microseconds. The
algorithm then converges: time differences > 1000 microseconds trigger the
timer in dccp_write_xmit; after timer expiry this function is tried again; when
the time difference is less than 1000, the packet will have its options added

The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a
lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the
-EAGAIN buisness we had before.
Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That
works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get
silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules.
We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because
they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the
sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in
libc.
With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from
Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state
resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default.
This lays the framework to either:
1) Make this default at some point or...
2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the
ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of.
The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then
once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we
re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The
packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved
in a certain amount of time.

This fixes an error in the calculation of t_ipi when X converges towards
very low sending rates (between 1 and 64 bytes per second).
Although this case may not sound likely, it can be reproduced by connecting,
hitting enter (1 byte sent) and waiting for some time, during which the
nofeedback timer halves the sending rate until finally it reaches the region
1..64 bytes/sec. Computing X is handled correctly (tested separately); but by
dividing X _before_ entering the calculation of t_ipi, X becomes zero as
a result. This in turn triggers a BUG condition caught in scaled_div().
Fixed by replacing with equivalent statement and explicit typecast for good
measure.

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
Detailed Justification
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.

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.

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'.

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 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).

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.

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

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

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.

Problem:
Most target types in the CCID3 code are u32, so subtle conversion errors
can occur if signed time calculations yield negative results: the original
values are lost in the conversion to unsigned, calculation errors go undetected.
This patch therefore
* sets all critical time types from unsigned to suseconds_t
* avoids comparison between signed/unsigned via type-casting
* provides ample warning messages in case time calculations are negative

This simplifies the calculation of a value p for a given fval when the
first loss interval is computed (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). It makes use of the
two new functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 to provide overflow protection.
Additionally, protection against divide-by-zero is extended - in this
case the function will return the maximally possible value of p=100%.
Background:
The maximum fval, f(100%), is approximately 244, i.e. the scaled value of fval
should never exceed 244E6, which fits easily into u32. The problem is the scaling
by 10^6, since additionally R(TT) is in microseconds.
This is resolved by breaking the division into two stages: the first stage
computes fval=(s*10^6)/R, stores that into u64; the second stage computes
fval = (fval*10^6)/X_recv and complains if overflow is reached for u32.
This case is safe since the TFRC reverse-lookup routine then returns p=100%.

This performs two optimisations for the recomputation of the sending rate.
1) Currently the target sending rate X_calc is recalculated whenever
a) the nofeedback timer expires, or
b) a feedback packet is received.
In the (a) case, recomputing X_calc is redundant, since
* the parameters p and RTT do not change in between the
reception of feedback packets;
* the parameter X_recv is either modified from received
feedback or via the nofeedback timer;
* a test (`p == 0') in the nofeedback timer avoids using
a stale/undefined value of X_calc if p was previously 0.
2) The nofeedback timer now only recomputes a timestamp when p == 0.
This is according to step (4) of [RFC 3448, 4.3] and avoids
unnecessarily determining a timestamp.
A debug statement about not updating X is also removed - it helps very

This replaces the linear search algorithm for reverse lookup with
binary search.
It has the advantage of better scalability: O(log2(N)) instead of O(N).
This means that the average number of iterations is reduced from 250
(linear search if each value appears equally likely) down to at most 9.

This patch deprecates the existing use of an arbitrary value TFRC_SMALLEST_P
for low-threshold values of p. This avoids masking low-resolution errors.
Instead, the code now checks against real boundaries (implemented by preceding
patch) and provides warnings whenever a real value falls below the threshold.
If such messages are observed, it is a better solution to take this as an
indication that the lookup table needs to be re-engineered.
Changelog:
----------
This patch
* makes handling all TFRC resolution errors local to the TFRC library
* removes unnecessary test whether X_calc is 'infinity' due to p==0 -- this
condition is already caught by tfrc_calc_x()
* removes setting ccid3hctx_p = TFRC_SMALLEST_P in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv
since this is now done by the TFRC library
* updates BUG_ON test in ccid3_hc_tx_no_feedback_timer to take into account
that p now is either 0 (and then X_calc is irrelevant), or it is > 0; since
the handling of TFRC_SMALLEST_P is now taken care of in the tfrc library
Justification:
--------------
The TFRC code uses a lookup table which has a bounded resolution.
The lowest possible value of the loss event rate `p' which can be
resolved is currently 0.0001. Substituting this lower threshold for
p when p is less than 0.0001 results in a huge, exponentially-growing
error. The error can be computed by the following formula:
(f(0.0001) - f(p))/f(p) * 100 for p < 0.0001
Currently the solution is to use an (arbitrary) value
TFRC_SMALLEST_P = 40 * 1E-6 = 0.00004
and to consider all values below this value as `virtually zero'. Due to
the exponentially growing resolution error, this is not a good idea, since
it hides the fact that the table can not resolve practically occurring cases.
Already at p == TFRC_SMALLEST_P, the error is as high as 58.19%!

This fixes the following small error in tfrc_calc_x_reverse_lookup.
1) The table is generated by the following equations:
lookup[index][0] = g((index+1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE);
lookup[index][1] = g((index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE);
where g(q) is 1E6 * f(q/1E6)
2) The reverse lookup assigns an entry in lookup[index][small]
3) This index needs to match the above, i.e.
* if small=0 then
p = (index + 1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE
* if small=1 then
p = (index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE
These are exactly the changes that the patch makes; previously the code did
not conform to the way the lookup table was generated (this difference resulted
in a mean error of about 1.12%).

This avoids a (harmless) warning message being printed at the DCCP server
(the receiver of a DCCP half connection).
Incoming packets are both directed to
* ccid_hc_rx_packet_recv() for the server half
* ccid_hc_tx_packet_recv() for the client half
The message gets printed since on a server the client half is currently not
sending data packets.
This is resolved for the moment by checking the DCCP-role first. In future

This bug resulted in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet returning negative
delay values, which in turn triggered silently dequeueing packets in
dccp_write_xmit. As a result, only a few out of the submitted packets made
it at all onto the network. Occasionally, when dccp_wait_for_ccid was
involved, this also triggered a bug warning since ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet
returned a negative value (which in reality was a negative delay value).
The cause for this bug lies in the comparison
if (delay >= hctx->ccid3hctx_delta)
return delay / 1000L;
The type of `delay' is `long', that of ccid3hctx_delta is `u32'. When comparing
negative long values against u32 values, the test returned `true' whenever delay
was smaller than 0 (meaning the packet was overdue to send).
The fix is by casting, subtracting, and then testing the difference with
regard to 0.
This has been tested and shown to work.

This patch implements a suggestion by Ian McDonald and
1) Avoids tests against negative packet lengths by using unsigned int
for packet payload lengths in the CCID send_packet()/packet_sent() routines
2) As a consequence, it removes an now unnecessary test with regard to `len > 0'
in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent: that condition is always true, since
* negative packet lengths are avoided
* ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet flags an error whenever the payload length is 0.
As a consequence, ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is never called as all errors
returned by ccid_hc_tx_send_packet are caught in dccp_write_xmit
3) Removes the third argument of ccid_hc_tx_send_packet (the `len' parameter),
since it is currently always set to skb->len. The code is updated with regard
to this parameter change.

This patch
* removes setting t_RTO in ccid3_hc_tx_init (per [RFC 3448, 4.2], t_RTO is
undefined until feedback has been received);
* makes some trivial changes (updates of comments);
* performs a small optimisation by exploiting that the feedback timeout
uses the value of t_ipi. The way it is done is safe, because the timeouts
appear after the changes to t_ipi, ensuring that up-to-date values are used;
* in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, moves the t_rto statement closer to the calculation
of the next_tmout. This makes the code clearer to read and is also safe, since
t_rto is not updated until the next call of ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, and is not
read by the functions called via ccid_wait_for_ccid();
* removes a `max' statement in sk_reset_timer, this is not needed since the timeout
value is always greater than 1E6 microseconds.

--the function is called, in dccp_write_xmit, after ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet
--if ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet is called in state TFRC_SSTATE_TERM, it returns
-EINVAL, which means that ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent will not be called
(compare dccp_write_xmit)
--> therefore, this case is logically impossible
* the remaining state is TFRC_SSTATE_FBACK which conditionally updates t_ipi, t_nom,
and t_delta. This is a no-op, since
--t_ipi only changes when feedback is received

code block which performs the same set of operations
--performing the same set of operations again in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent therefore
does not change anything, since between the time of receiving the last feedback
(and therefore update of t_ipi, t_nom, and t_delta), the value of t_ipi has not
changed

This resolves an `XXX' in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet().
The function is only called on Data and DataAck packets and returns a negative
result on zero-sized messages. This is a reasonable policy since CCID 3 is a
congestion-control module and congestion control on zero-sized Data(Ack)
packets is in a way pathological.
The patch uses a more suitable error code for this case, it returns the Posix.1
code `EBADMSG' ("Not a data message") instead of `ENOTCONN'.
As a result of ignoring zero-sized packets, a the condition for a warning
"First packet is data" in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is always satisfied; this

Resolves the problem that if IPv6 was configured `y' and DCCP `m' then
dccp_ipv6 was not built as a module. With this change, dccp_ipv6 is built
as a module whenever DCCP *OR* IPv6 are configured as modules; it will be
built-in only if both DCCP = `y' and IPV6 = `y'.

Throughout the TCP/DCCP (and tunnelling) code, it often happens that the
return code of a transmit function needs to be tested against NET_XMIT_CN
which is a value that does not indicate a strict error condition.
This patch uses a macro for these recurring situations which is consistent
with the already existing macro net_xmit_errno, saving on duplicated code.

This
* resolves a FIXME - DCCPv6 connections started all with
an initial sequence number of 1;
* provides a redirection `secure_dccpv6_sequence_number'
in case the init_sequence_v6 code should be updated later;
* concentrates the update of S.GAR into dccp_connect_init();
* removes a duplicate dccp_update_gss() in ipv4.c;
* uses inet->dport instead of usin->sin_port, due to the
following assignment in dccp_v4_connect():
inet->dport = usin->sin_port;

This patch removes the following redundancies:
1) The test skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6) in dccp_v6_init_sequence
is always true since
* dccp_v6_conn_request() is the only calling function
* dccp_v6_conn_request() redirects all skb's with ETH_P_IP to
dccp_v4_conn_request()
2) The first argument, `struct sock *sk', of dccp_v{4,6}_init_sequence()
is never used.
(This is similar for tcp_v{4,6}_init_sequence, an analogous patch has been
submitted to netdev and merged.)
By the way - are the `sport' / `dport' arguments in the right order?
I have made them consistent among calls but they seem to be in the
reverse order.

In order to make their function clearer and obtain a consistent naming
scheme to identify sysctls, all existing DCCP sysctls have been prefixed
with `sysctl_dccp', following the same convention as used by TCP.
Feature-specific sysctls retain the `feat' in the middle, although the
`default' has been dropped, since it is obvious from use.
Also removed a duplicate `dccp_feat_default_sequence_window' in ipv4.c.

This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control
packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation).
It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code.
The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised
not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values.
This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet.
Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit
the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries
(also a bit like in TCP).
Lastly, added documentation of all existing DCCP sysctls.

This updates program documentation: spell out precise conditions about
which packets are eligible for retransmission (which is actually quite
hard to extract from RFC 4340).
It is based on the following table derived from RFC 4340:
+-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
| Type | Retransmit? | Remark |
+-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
| Request | in client-REQUEST state | sec. 8.1.1 |
| Response | NEVER | SHOULD NOT, 8.1.3 |
| Data | NEVER | unreliable protocol |
| Ack | possible in client-PARTOPEN | sec. 8.1.5 |
| DataAck | NEVER | unreliable protocol |
| CloseReq | only in server-CLOSEREQ state | MUST, sec. 8.3 |
| Close | in node-CLOSING state | MUST, sec. 8.3 |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Reset | only in response to other packets |
| Sync | only in response to sequence-invalid packets (7.5.4) |
| SyncAck | only in response to Sync packets |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
Hence the only packets eligible for retransmission are:
* Requests in client-REQUEST state (sec. 8.1.1)
* Acks in client-PARTOPEN state (sec. 8.1.5)
* CloseReq in server-CLOSEREQ state (sec. 8.3)
* Close in node-CLOSING state (sec. 8.3)
I had meant to put in a check for these types too, but have left that
for later.

This patch does the following:
a) introduces variable-length checksums as specified in [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2]
b) provides necessary socket options and documentation as to how to use them
c) basic support and infrastructure for the Minimum Checksum Coverage feature
[RFC 4340, sec. 9.2.1]: acceptability tests, user notification and user
interface
In addition, it
(1) fixes two bugs in the DCCPv4 checksum computation:
* pseudo-header used checksum_len instead of skb->len
* incorrect checksum coverage calculation based on dccph_x
(2) removes dccp_v4_verify_checksum() since it reduplicates code of the
checksum computation; code calling this function is updated accordingly.
(3) now uses skb_checksum(), which is safer than checksum_partial() if the
sk_buff has is a non-linear buffer (has pages attached to it).
(4) fixes an outstanding TODO item:
* If P.CsCov is too large for the packet size, drop packet and return.
The code has been tested with applications, the latest version of tcpdump now
comes with support for partial DCCP checksums.

This patch removes two functions, the send_ack functions of request_sock,
which are not called/used by the DCCP code. It is correct that these
functions are not called, below is a justification why calling these
functions (on a passive socket in the LISTEN/RESPOND state) would mean
a DCCP protocol violation.
A) Background: using request_sock in TCP:
Gerrit Renker noticed dccp_tw_deschedule and submitted a patch with a FIXME,
but as he suggests in the same patch the best thing is to just ditch this
declaration, while doing that also noticed that tcp_tw_count is as well not
defined anywhere, so ditch it too.

It mainly makes the code consistent between ipv{4,6}.c for the functions
dccp_v4_rcv
dccp_v6_rcv
and removes the do_time_wait label to simplify code somewhat.

extra atomics we don't really need.

We currently allocate a fixed size (TCP_SYNQ_HSIZE=512) slots hash table for
each LISTEN socket, regardless of various parameters (listen backlog for
example)
On x86_64, this means order-1 allocations (might fail), even for 'small'
sockets, expecting few connections. On the contrary, a huge server wanting a
backlog of 50000 is slowed down a bit because of this fixed limit.
This patch makes the sizing of listen hash table a dynamic parameter,
depending of :
- net.core.somaxconn tunable (default is 128)
- net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog tunable (default : 256, 1024 or 128)
- backlog value given by user application (2nd parameter of listen())
For large allocations (bigger than PAGE_SIZE), we use vmalloc() instead of
kmalloc().
We still limit memory allocation with the two existing tunables (somaxconn &
tcp_max_syn_backlog). So for standard setups, this patch actually reduce RAM
usage.
