This fixes a problem in the DCCP getsockopt() API: currently there is no way
for a user to a priori know the number of built-in CCIDs, other than trying
DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until
EINVAL is no longer returned.
This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made
when the length is <= 0.
Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the
minimum array length remains 4, which is a reasonable default (only 3
CCIDs, CCID-2..4, are currently defined).

This fixes a bug introduced in commit de4ef86cfc
("dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub", 17 Jan): the
vsnprintf used sizeof(slab_name_fmt), which became truncated to 4 bytes, since
slab_name_fmt is now a 4-byte pointer and no longer a 32-character array.
This lead to error messages such as
FATAL: Error inserting dccp: No buffer space available
>> kernel: [ 1456.341501] kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache cci
generated due to the truncation after the 3rd character.
Fixed for the moment by introducing a symbolic constant. Tested to fix the bug.

Hey all-
I was tinkering with dccp recently and noticed that I BUG halted the
kernel when I rmmod-ed the dccp module. The bug halt occured because the page
that I passed to kfree failed the PageCompound and PageSlab test in the slub
implementation of kfree. I tracked the problem down to the following set of
events:
1) dccp, unlike all other uses of kmem_cache_create, allocates a string
dynamically when registering a slab cache. This allocated string is freed when
the cache is destroyed.
2) Normally, (1) is not an issue, but when Slub is in use, it is possible that
caches are 'merged'. This process causes multiple caches of simmilar
configuration to use the same cache data structure. When this happens, the new
name of the cache is effectively dropped.
3) (2) results in kmem_cache_name returning an ambigous value (i.e.
ccid_kmem_cache_destroy, which uses this fuction to retrieve the name pointer
for freeing), is no longer guaranteed that the string it assigned is what is
returned.
4) If such merge event occurs, ccid_kmem_cache_destroy frees the wrong pointer,
which trips over the BUG in the slub implementation of kfree (since its likely
not a slab allocation, but rather a pointer into the static string table
section.
So, what to do about this. At first blush this is pretty clearly a leak in the
information that slub owns, and as such a slub bug. Unfortunately, theres no
really good way to fix it, without exposing slub specific implementation details
to the generic slab interface. Also, even if we could fix this in slub cleanly,
I think the RCU free option would force us to do lots of string duplication, not
only in slub, but in every slab allocator. As such, I'd like to propose this
solution. Basically, I just move the storage for the kmem cache name to the
ccid_operations structure. In so doing, we don't have to do the kstrdup or
kfree when we allocate/free the various caches for dccp, and so we avoid the
problem, by storing names with static memory, rather than heap, the way all
other calls to kmem_cache_create do.
I've tested this out myself here, and it solves the problem quite well.

This patch cleans up after integrating the CCID modules and, in addition,

* removes the 'gfp' argument to ccid_new() - since it is always gfp_any().

Based on Arnaldo's earlier patch, this patch integrates the standardised
CCID congestion control plugins (CCID-2 and CCID-3) of DCCP with dccp.ko:
* enables a faster connection path by eliminating the need to always go
through the CCID registration lock;
* updates the implementation to use only a single array whose size equals
the number of configured CCIDs instead of the maximum (256);
* since the CCIDs are now fixed array elements, synchronization is no
longer needed, simplifying use and implementation.
CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10);
CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.

The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector
case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of
feature negotiation may be something different.
The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer
interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs.
Also removed are the constructors for the TX CCID and the RX CCID, since the
switch "rx <-> non-rx" is done by the handler in minisocks.c (and the handler
is the only place in the code where CCIDs are loaded).

This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported
and three accessor functions:
- a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests
made by the user;
- a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation;
- documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities.
The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the
list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices).
Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for
feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available
CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation
will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.

The patch makes the registration messages of CCID 2/3 a bit more
informative: instead of repeating the CCID number as currently done,
"CCID: Registered CCID 2 (ccid2)" or
"CCID: Registered CCID 3 (ccid3)",
the descriptive names of the CCID's (from RFCs) are now used:
"CCID: Registered CCID 2 (TCP-like)" and
"CCID: Registered CCID 3 (TCP-Friendly Rate Control)".
To allow spaces in the name, the slab name string has been changed to
refer to the numeric CCID identifier, using the same format as before.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.
This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.
The patch was generated using the following script:

#
# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
#
set -e
for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
quilt add $file
sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
mv /tmp/$$ $file

1. No need for ->ccid_init nor ->ccid_exit, this is what module_{init,exit}
does and anynways neither ccid2 nor ccid3 were using it.
2. Rename struct ccid to struct ccid_operations and introduce struct ccid
with a pointer to ccid_operations and rigth after it the rx or tx
private state.
3. Remove the pointer to the state of the half connections from struct
dccp_sock, now its derived thru ccid_priv() from the ccid pointer.
Now we also can implement the setsockopt for changing the CCID easily as
no ccid init routines can affect struct dccp_sock in any way that prevents
other CCIDs from working if a CCID switch operation is asked by apps.
