Gerrit Renker 432649916b dccp: Toggle debug output without module unloading
This sets the sysfs permissions so that root can toggle the `debug'
parameter available for nearly every DCCP module. This is useful 
since there are various module inter-dependencies. The debug flag
can now be toggled at runtime using

  echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp/parameters/dccp_debug
  echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_ccid2/parameters/ccid2_debug
  echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_ccid3/parameters/ccid3_debug
  echo 1 > /sys/module/dccp_tfrc_lib/parameters/tfrc_debug

The last is not very useful yet, since no code at the moment calls
the tfrc_debug() macro.

Gerrit Renker b552c6231f dccp ccid-3: Fix a loss detection bug
This fixes a bug in the logic of the TFRC loss detection:
 * new_loss_indicated() should not be called while a loss is pending;
 * but the code allows this;
 * thus, for two subsequent gaps in the sequence space, when loss_count
   has not yet reached NDUPACK=3, the loss_count is falsely reduced to 1.

To avoid further and similar problems, all loss handling and loss detection is
now done inside tfrc_rx_hist_handle_loss(), using an appropriate routine to
track new losses.

Further changes:
----------------
 * added a reminder that no RX history operations should be performed when
   rx_handle_loss() has identified a (new) loss, since the function takes
   care of packet reordering during loss detection;
 * made tfrc_rx_hist_loss_pending() bool (thanks to an earlier suggestion
   by Arnaldo);		 
 * removed unused functions.

Gerrit Renker 5b5d0e7048 dccp: Upgrade NDP count from 3 to 6 bytes
RFC 4340, 7.7 specifies up to 6 bytes for the NDP Count option, whereas the code
is currently limited to up to 3 bytes. This seems to be a relict of an earlier 
draft version and is brought up to date by the patch.

Gerrit Renker 1e2f0e5e83 dccp: Fix sparse warnings
This patch fixes the following sparse warnings:
 * nested min(max()) expression:
   net/dccp/ccids/ccid3.c:91:21: warning: symbol '__x' shadows an earlier one
   net/dccp/ccids/ccid3.c:91:21: warning: symbol '__y' shadows an earlier one
   
 * Declaration of function prototypes in .c instead of .h file, resulting in
   "should it be static?" warnings. 

 * Declared "struct dccpw" static (local to dccp_probe).
 
 * Disabled dccp_delayed_ack() - not fully removed due to RFC 4340, 11.3
   ("Receivers SHOULD implement delayed acknowledgement timers ...").

 * Used a different local variable name to avoid
   net/dccp/ackvec.c:293:13: warning: symbol 'state' shadows an earlier one
   net/dccp/ackvec.c:238:33: originally declared here

 * Removed unused functions `dccp_ackvector_print' and `dccp_ackvec_print'.

Gerrit Renker 3294f202dc dccp ccid-3: Bug-Fix - Zero RTT is possible
In commit $(825de27d9e) (from 27th May, commit
message `dccp ccid-3: Fix "t_ipi explosion" bug'), the CCID-3 window counter
computation was fixed to cope with RTTs < 4 microseconds.

Such RTTs can be found e.g. when running CCID-3 over loopback. The fix removed
a check against RTT < 4, but introduced a divide-by-zero bug.

All steady-state RTTs in DCCP are filtered using dccp_sample_rtt(), which
ensures non-zero samples. However, a zero RTT is possible on initialisation,
when there is no RTT sample from the Request/Response exchange.

The fix is to use the fallback-RTT from RFC 4340, 3.4.

This is also better than just fixing update_win_count() since it allows other
parts of the code to always assume that the RTT is non-zero during the time
that the CCID is used.

Gerrit Renker 825de27d9e dccp ccid-3: Fix "t_ipi explosion" bug
The identification of this bug is thanks to Cheng Wei and Tomasz
Grobelny.

To avoid divide-by-zero, the implementation previously ignored RTTs
smaller than 4 microseconds when performing integer division RTT/4.

When the RTT reached a value less than 4 microseconds (as observed on
loopback), this prevented the Window Counter CCVal value from
advancing. As a result, the receiver stopped sending feedback. This in
turn caused non-ending expiries of the nofeedback timer at the sender,
so that the sending rate was progressively reduced until reaching the
minimum of one packet per 64 seconds.

The patch fixes this bug by handling integer division more
intelligently. Due to consistent use of dccp_sample_rtt(),
divide-by-zero-RTT is avoided.

at it, the  upper bound of 4 seconds for an RTT sample has  been reduced to

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo b84a2189c4 [TFRC]: New rx history code
Credit here goes to Gerrit Renker, that provided the initial implementation for
this new codebase.

I modified it just to try to make it closer to the existing API, renaming some
functions, add namespacing and fix one bug where the tfrc_rx_hist_alloc was not
freeing the allocated ring entries on the error path.

Original changeset comment from Gerrit:
      -----------
This provides a new, self-contained and generic RX history service for TFRC
based protocols.

Details:
 * new data structure, initialisation and cleanup routines;
 * allocation of dccp_rx_hist entries local to packet_history.c,
   as a service exported by the dccp_tfrc_lib module.
 * interface to automatically track highest-received seqno;
 * receiver-based RTT estimation (needed for instance by RFC 3448, 6.3.1);
 * a generic function to test for `data packets' as per  RFC 4340, sec. 7.7.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 276f2edc52 [TFRC]: Migrate TX history to singly-linked lis
This patch was based on another made by Gerrit Renker, his changelog was:

    ------------------------------------------------------
The patch set migrates TFRC TX history to a singly-linked list.

The details are:
 * use of a consistent naming scheme (all TFRC functions now begin with `tfrc_');
 * allocation and cleanup are taken care of internally;
 * provision of a lookup function, which is used by the CCID TX infrastructure
   to determine the time a packet was sent (in turn used for RTT sampling);
 * integration of the new interface with the present use in CCID3.
    ------------------------------------------------------

Simplifications I did:

. removing the tfrc_tx_hist_head that had a pointer to the list head and
  another for the slabcache.
. No need for creating a slabcache for each CCID that wants to use the TFRC
  tx history routines, create a single slabcache when the dccp_tfrc_lib module
  init routine is called.

Gerrit Renker eb279b79c4 [CCID3]: Ignore trivial amounts of elapsed time
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.

    		char		       ccid_priv[0];
    	};

    	// ...

    		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);

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).

 * 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.

Gerrit Renker 49d66a70cf [CCID3]: Fix a bug in the send time processing
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
and window counter updated as required.

Gerrit Renker b2449fdc30 [DCCP]: Fix bug in the calculation of very low sending rates
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.

Calculation verified and effect of patch tested - reduced never below 1 byte
per 64 seconds afterwards, i.e. not allowing divide-by-zero.

Gerrit Renker 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

Gerrit Renker 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).

Gerrit Renker 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.

Gerrit Renker 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.

Gerrit Renker 0f9e5b573f [DCCP]: Debug timeval operations
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

 These warning messages can be removed at a later stage when the code
 has undergone more testing.

Gerrit Renker bfe24a6cc2 [DCCP] ccid3: Simplify calculation for reverse lookup of p
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%.

Gerrit Renker 1a21e49a8d [DCCP] ccid3: Finer-grained resolution of sending rates
This patch
 * resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0
 * supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second
 * simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations

Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated
sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to
 * cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second)
 * allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3
 * avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off

The patch implements a revised strategy from
http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html

The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already
used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.

Gerrit Renker ff58629824 [DCCP] ccid3: Two optimisations for sending rate recomputation
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
little in debugging and just clutters the logs.

Gerrit Renker 44158306d7 [DCCP] ccid3: Deprecate TFRC_SMALLEST_P
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%!

Gerrit Renker 26af3072b0 [DCCP] ccid3: Fix warning message about illegal ACK
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
times (bidirectional DCCP connections), this test may have to be more
sophisticated.

Gerrit Renker 76d127779e [DCCP]: Fix BUG in retransmission delay calculation
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.

Gerrit Renker 8a508ac26e [DCCP]: Use higher RTO default for CCID3
The TFRC nofeedback timer normally expires after the maximum of 4
RTTs and twice the current send interval (RFC 3448, 4.3). On LANs
with a small RTT this can mean a high processing load and reduced
performance, since then the nofeedback timer is triggered very
frequently.

This patch provides a configuration option to set the bound for the
nofeedback timer, using as default 100 milliseconds.

By setting the configuration option to 0, strict RFC 3448 behaviour
can be enforced for the nofeedback timer.

Gerrit Renker 6b57c93dc3 [DCCP]: Use `unsigned' for packet lengths
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.

 * makes some trivial changes (updates of comments);

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
message has been removed since it will always be printed.
