2018-08-07dccp: fix undefined behavior with 'cwnd' shift in ccid2_cwnd_restart()Alexey Kodanev1-2/+4
The shift of 'cwnd' with '(now - hc->tx_lsndtime) / hc->tx_rto' value can lead to undefined behavior [1]. In order to fix this use a gradual shift of the window with a 'while' loop, similar to what tcp_cwnd_restart() is doing. When comparing delta and RTO there is a minor difference between TCP and DCCP, the last one also invokes dccp_cwnd_restart() and reduces 'cwnd' if delta equals RTO. That case is preserved in this change.

2018-06-12treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array()Kees Cook1-1/+2
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This patch replaces cases of: kmalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own implementation of kmalloc(). The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( kmalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | kmalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT;

ccid2_hc_tx_rto_expire() timer callback always restarts the timer again and can run indefinitely (unless it is stopped outside), and after commit 120e9dabaf55 ("dccp: defer ccid_hc_tx_delete() at dismantle time"), which moved ccid_hc_tx_delete() (also includes sk_stop_timer()) from dccp_destroy_sock() to sk_destruct(), this started to happen quite often.

2011-08-01dccp ccid-2: check Ack Ratio when reducing cwndSamuel Jero1-3/+23
This patch causes CCID-2 to check the Ack Ratio after reducing the congestion window. If the Ack Ratio is greater than the congestion window, it is reduced. This prevents timeouts caused by an Ack Ratio larger than the congestion window. In this situation, we choose to set the Ack Ratio to half the congestion window (or one if that's zero) so that if we loose one ack we don't trigger a timeout.

2011-08-01dccp ccid-2: increment cwnd correctlySamuel Jero1-1/+1
This patch fixes an issue where CCID-2 will not increase the congestion window for numerous RTTs after an idle period, application-limited period, or a loss once the algorithm is in Congestion Avoidance. What happens is that, when CCID-2 is in Congestion Avoidance mode, it will increase hc->tx_packets_acked by one for every packet and will increment cwnd every cwnd packets. However, if there is now an idle period in the connection, cwnd will be reduced, possibly below the slow start threshold. This will cause the connection to go into Slow Start. However, in Slow Start CCID-2 performs this test to increment cwnd every second ack: ++hc->tx_packets_acked == 2 Unfortunately, this will be incorrect, if cwnd previous to the idle period was larger than 2 and if tx_packets_acked was close to cwnd. For example: cwnd=50 and tx_packets_acked=45. In this case, the current code, will increment tx_packets_acked until it equals two, which will only be once tx_packets_acked (an unsigned 32-bit integer) overflows. My fix is simply to change that test for tx_packets_acked greater than or equal to two in slow start. Signed-off-by: Samuel Jero <sj323707@ohio.edu> Acked-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2011-08-01dccp ccid-2: prevent cwnd > Sequence WindowSamuel Jero1-15/+35
Add a check to prevent CCID-2 from increasing the cwnd greater than the Sequence Window. When the congestion window becomes bigger than the Sequence Window, CCID-2 will attempt to keep more data in the network than the DCCP Sequence Window code considers possible. This results in the Sequence Window code issuing a Sync, thereby inducing needless overhead. Further, if this occurs at the sender, CCID-2 will never detect the problem because the Acks it receives will indicate no losses. I have seen this cause a drop of 1/3rd in throughput for a connection. Also add code to adjust the Sequence Window to be about 5 times the number of packets in the network (RFC 4340, 7.5.2) and to adjust the Ack Ratio so that the remote Sequence Window will hold about 5 times the number of packets in the network. This allows the congestion window to increase correctly without being limited by the Sequence Window. Signed-off-by: Samuel Jero <sj323707@ohio.edu> Acked-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

This uses the new feature-negotiation framework to signal Ack Ratio changes, as required by RFC 4341, sec. 6.1.2. That raises some problems with CCID-2, which at the moment can not cope gracefully with Ack Ratios > 1. Since these issues are not directly related to feature negotiation, they are marked by a FIXME.

2011-07-04dccp ccid-2: Perform congestion-window validationGerrit Renker1-3/+81
CCID-2's cwnd increases like TCP during slow-start, which has implications for * the local Sequence Window value (should be > cwnd), * the Ack Ratio value. Hence an exponential growth, if it does not reflect the actual network conditions, can quickly lead to instability. This patch adds congestion-window validation (RFC2861) to CCID-2: * cwnd is constrained if the sender is application limited; * cwnd is reduced after a long idle period, as suggested in the '90 paper by Van Jacobson, in RFC 2581 (sec. 4.1); * cwnd is never reduced below the RFC 3390 initial window. As marked in the comments, the code is actually almost a direct copy of the TCP congestion-window-validation algorithms. By continuing this work, it may in future be possible to use the TCP code (not possible at the moment). The mechanism can be turned off using a module parameter. Sampling of the currently-used window (moving-maximum) is however done constantly; this is used to determine the expected window, which can be exploited to regulate DCCP's Sequence Window value. This patch also sets slow-start-after-idle (RFC 4341, 5.1), i.e. it behaves like TCP when net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle = 1. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

2010-11-15dccp ccid-2: Separate option parsing from CCID processingGerrit Renker1-93/+41
This patch replaces an almost identical replication of code: large parts of dccp_parse_options() re-appeared as ccid2_ackvector() in ccid2.c. Apart from the duplication, this caused two more problems: 1. CCIDs should not need to be concerned with parsing header options; 2. one can not assume that Ack Vectors appear as a contiguous area within an skb, it is legal to insert other options and/or padding in between. The current code would throw an error and stop reading in such a case. Since Ack Vectors provide CCID-specific information, they are now processed by the CCID directly, separating this functionality from the main DCCP code.

2010-11-10dccp ccid-2: Ack Vector interface clean-upGerrit Renker1-8/+5
This patch brings the Ack Vector interface up to date. Its main purpose is to lay the basis for the subsequent patches of this set, which will use the new data structure fields and routines. There are no real algorithmic changes, rather an adaptation: (1) Replaced the static Ack Vector size (2) with a #define so that it can be adapted (with low loss / Ack Ratio, a value of 1 works, so 2 seems to be sufficient for the moment) and added a solution so that computing the ECN nonce will continue to work - even with larger Ack Vectors. (2) Replaced the #defines for Ack Vector states with a complete enum. (3) Replaced #defines to compute Ack Vector length and state with general purpose routines (inlines), and updated code to use these. (4) Added a `tail' field (conversion to circular buffer in subsequent patch). (5) Updated the (outdated) documentation for Ack Vector struct. (6) All sequence number containers now trimmed to 48 bits. (7) Removal of unused bits: * removed dccpav_ack_nonce from struct dccp_ackvec, since this is already redundantly stored in the `dccpavr_ack_nonce' (of Ack Vector record); * removed Elapsed Time for Ack Vectors (it was nowhere used); * replaced semantics of dccpavr_sent_len with dccpavr_ack_runlen, since the code needs to be able to remember the old run length; * reduced the de-/allocation routines (redundant / duplicate tests).

It helped to then increase the the value of RTO_MIN over this link. Since the problem is the same as in TCP, this patch makes the solution from commit "05bb1fad1cde025a864a90cfeb98dcbefe78a44a" "[TCP]: Allow minimum RTO to be configurable via routing metrics." available to DCCP. This avoids reinventing the wheel, so that e.g. the following works in the expected way now also for CCID-2: > ip route change 10.0.0.2 rto_min 800 dev ath0 Luckily this useful rto_min function was recently moved to net/tcp.h, which simplifies sharing code originating from TCP.

2010-08-23dccp ccid-2: Replace broken RTT estimator with better algorithmGerrit Renker1-76/+93
The current CCID-2 RTT estimator code is in parts broken and lags behind the suggestions in RFC2988 of using scaled variants for SRTT/RTTVAR. That code is replaced by the present patch, which reuses the Linux TCP RTT estimator code. Further details: ---------------- 1. The minimum RTO of previously one second has been replaced with TCP's, since RFC4341, sec. 5 says that the minimum of 1 sec. (suggested in RFC2988, 2.4) is not necessary. Instead, the TCP_RTO_MIN is used, which agrees with DCCP's concept of a default RTT (RFC 4340, 3.4). 2. The maximum RTO has been set to DCCP_RTO_MAX (64 sec), which agrees with RFC2988, (2.5). 3. De-inlined the function ccid2_new_ack(). 4. Added a FIXME: the RTT is sampled several times per Ack Vector, which will give the wrong estimate. It should be replaced with one sample per Ack. However, at the moment this can not be resolved easily, since - it depends on TX history code (which also needs some work), - the cleanest solution is not to use the `sent' time at all (saves 4 bytes per entry) and use DCCP timestamps / elapsed time to estimated the RTT, which however is non-trivial to get right (but needs to be done). Reasons for reusing the Linux TCP estimator algorithm: ------------------------------------------------------ Some time was spent to find a better alternative, using basic RFC2988 as a first step. Further analysis and experimentation showed that the Linux TCP RTO estimator is superior to a basic RFC2988 implementation. A summary is on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/ccid2/rto_estimator/ In addition, this estimator fared well in a recent empirical evaluation: Rewaskar, Sushant, Jasleen Kaur and F. Donelson Smith. A Performance Study of Loss Detection/Recovery in Real-world TCP Implementations. Proceedings of 15th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP-07), 2007.

2010-08-23dccp ccid-2: Simplify dec_pipe and rearming of RTO timerGerrit Renker1-19/+8
This removes the dec_pipe function and improves the way the RTO timer is rearmed when a new acknowledgment comes in. Details and justification for removal: -------------------------------------- 1) The BUG_ON in dec_pipe is never triggered: pipe is only decremented for TX history entries between tail and head, for which it had previously been incremented in tx_packet_sent; and it is not decremented twice for the same entry, since it is - either decremented when a corresponding Ack Vector cell in state 0 or 1 was received (and then ccid2s_acked==1), - or it is decremented when ccid2s_acked==0, as part of the loss detection in tx_packet_recv (and hence it can not have been decremented earlier). 2) Restarting the RTO timer happens for every single entry in each Ack Vector parsed by tx_packet_recv (according to RFC 4340, 11.4 this can happen up to 16192 times per Ack Vector). 3) The RTO timer should not be restarted when all outstanding data has been acknowledged. This is currently done similar to (2), in dec_pipe, when pipe has reached 0. The patch onsolidates the code which rearms the RTO timer, combining the segments from new_ack and dec_pipe. As a result, the code becomes clearer (compare with tcp_rearm_rto()). Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-08-23dccp ccid-2: Remove redundant sanity testsGerrit Renker1-52/+0
This removes the ccid2_hc_tx_check_sanity function: it is redundant. Details: The tx_check_sanity function performs three tests: 1) it checks that the circular TX list is sorted - in ascending order of sequence number (ccid2s_seq) - and time (ccid2s_sent), - in the direction from `tail' (hctx_seqt) to `head' (hctx_seqh); 2) it ensures that the entire list has the length seqbufc * CCID2_SEQBUF_LEN; 3) it ensures that pipe equals the number of packets that were not marked `acked' (ccid2s_acked) between `tail' and `head'. The following argues that each of these tests is redundant, this can be verified by going through the code. (1) is not necessary, since both time and GSS increase from one packet to the next, so that subsequent insertions in tx_packet_sent (which advance the `head' pointer) will be in ascending order of time and sequence number. In (2), the length of the list is always equal to seqbufc times CCID2_SEQBUF_LEN (set to 1024) unless allocation caused an earlier failure, because: * at initialisation (tx_init), there is one chunk of size 1024 and seqbufc=1; * subsequent calls to tx_alloc_seq take place whenever head->next == tail in tx_packet_sent; then a new chunk of size 1024 is inserted between head and tail, and seqbufc is incremented by one. To show that (3) is redundant requires looking at two cases. The `pipe' variable of the TX socket is incremented only in tx_packet_sent, and decremented in tx_packet_recv. When head == tail (TX history empty) then pipe should be 0, which is the case directly after initialisation and after a retransmission timeout has occurred (ccid2_hc_tx_rto_expire). The first case involves parsing Ack Vectors for packets recorded in the live portion of the buffer, between tail and head. For each packet marked by the receiver as received (state 0) or ECN-marked (state 1), pipe is decremented by one, so for all such packets the BUG_ON in tx_check_sanity will not trigger. The second case is the loss detection in the second half of tx_packet_recv, below the comment "Check for NUMDUPACK". The first while-loop here ensures that the sequence number of `seqp' is either above or equal to `high_ack', or otherwise equal to the highest sequence number sent so far (of the entry head->prev, as head points to the next unsent entry). The next while-loop ("while (1)") counts the number of acked packets starting from that position of seqp, going backwards in the direction from head->prev to tail. If NUMDUPACK=3 such packets were counted within this loop, `seqp' points to the last acknowledged packet of these, and the "if (done == NUMDUPACK)" block is entered next. The while-loop contained within that block in turn traverses the list backwards, from head to tail; the position of `seqp' is saved in the variable `last_acked'. For each packet not marked as `acked', a congestion event is triggered within the loop, and pipe is decremented. The loop terminates when `seqp' has reached `tail', whereupon tail is set to the position previously stored in `last_acked'. Thus, between `last_acked' and the previous position of `tail', - pipe has been decremented earlier if the packet was marked as state 0 or 1; - pipe was decremented if the packet was not marked as acked. That is, pipe has been decremented by the number of packets between `last_acked' and the previous position of `tail'. As a consequence, pipe now again reflects the number of packets which have not (yet) been acked between the new position of tail (at `last_acked') and head->prev, or 0 if head==tail. The result is that the BUG_ON condition in check_sanity will also not be triggered, hence the test (3) is also redundant. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo1-0/+1
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Details: ======== The tx_check_sanity function performs three tests: 1) it checks that the circular TX list is sorted - in ascending order of sequence number (ccid2s_seq) - and time (ccid2s_sent), - in the direction from `tail' (hctx_seqt) to `head' (hctx_seqh); 2) it ensures that the entire list has the length seqbufc * CCID2_SEQBUF_LEN; 3) it ensures that pipe equals the number of packets that were not marked `acked' (ccid2s_acked) between `tail' and `head'. The following argues that each of these tests is redundant, this can be verified by going through the code. (1) is not necessary, since both time and GSS increase from one packet to the next, so that subsequent insertions in tx_packet_sent (which advance the `head' pointer) will be in ascending order of time and sequence number. In (2), the length of the list is always equal to seqbufc times CCID2_SEQBUF_LEN (set to 1024) unless allocation caused an earlier failure, because: * at initialisation (tx_init), there is one chunk of size 1024 and seqbufc=1; * subsequent calls to tx_alloc_seq take place whenever head->next == tail in tx_packet_sent; then a new chunk of size 1024 is inserted between head and tail, and seqbufc is incremented by one. To show that (3) is redundant requires looking at two cases. The `pipe' variable of the TX socket is incremented only in tx_packet_sent, and decremented in tx_packet_recv. When head == tail (TX history empty) then pipe should be 0, which is the case directly after initialisation and after a retransmission timeout has occurred (ccid2_hc_tx_rto_expire). The first case involves parsing Ack Vectors for packets recorded in the live portion of the buffer, between tail and head. For each packet marked by the receiver as received (state 0) or ECN-marked (state 1), pipe is decremented by one, so for all such packets the BUG_ON in tx_check_sanity will not trigger. The second case is the loss detection in the second half of tx_packet_recv, below the comment "Check for NUMDUPACK". The first while-loop here ensures that the sequence number of `seqp' is either above or equal to `high_ack', or otherwise equal to the highest sequence number sent so far (of the entry head->prev, as head points to the next unsent entry). The next while-loop ("while (1)") counts the number of acked packets starting from that position of seqp, going backwards in the direction from head->prev to tail. If NUMDUPACK=3 such packets were counted within this loop, `seqp' points to the last acknowledged packet of these, and the "if (done == NUMDUPACK)" block is entered next. The while-loop contained within that block in turn traverses the list backwards, from head to tail; the position of `seqp' is saved in the variable `last_acked'. For each packet not marked as `acked', a congestion event is triggered within the loop, and pipe is decremented. The loop terminates when `seqp' has reached `tail', whereupon tail is set to the position previously stored in `last_acked'. Thus, between `last_acked' and the previous position of `tail', - pipe has been decremented earlier if the packet was marked as state 0 or 1; - pipe was decremented if the packet was not marked as acked. That is, pipe has been decremented by the number of packets between `last_acked' and the previous position of `tail'. As a consequence, pipe now again reflects the number of packets which have not (yet) been acked between the new position of tail (at `last_acked') and head->prev, or 0 if head==tail. The result is that the BUG_ON condition in check_sanity will also not be triggered, hence the test (3) is also redundant. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp ccid-2: Stop pollingGerrit Renker1-8/+13
This updates CCID2 to use the CCID dequeuing mechanism, converting from previous constant-polling to a now event-driven mechanism. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp ccid-2: Separate option parsing from CCID processingGerrit Renker1-93/+42
This patch replaces an almost identical replication of code: large parts of dccp_parse_options() re-appeared as ccid2_ackvector() in ccid2.c. Apart from the duplication, this caused two more problems: 1. CCIDs should not need to be concerned with parsing header options; 2. one can not assume that Ack Vectors appear as a contiguous area within an skb, it is legal to insert other options and/or padding in between. The current code would throw an error and stop reading in such a case. The patch provides a new data structure and associated list housekeeping. Only small changes were necessary to integrate with CCID-2: data structure initialisation, adapt list traversal routine, and add call to the provided cleanup routine. The latter also lead to fixing the following BUG: CCID-2 so far ignored Ack Vectors on all packets other than Ack/DataAck, which is incorrect, since Ack Vectors can be present on any packet that has an Ack field. Details: -------- * received Ack Vectors are parsed by dccp_parse_options() alone, which passes the result on to the CCID-specific routine ccid_hc_tx_parse_options(); * CCIDs interested in using/decoding Ack Vector information will add code to fetch parsed Ack Vectors via this interface; * a data structure, `struct dccp_ackvec_parsed' is provided as interface; * this structure arranges Ack Vectors of the same skb into a FIFO order; * a doubly-linked list is used to keep the required FIFO code small.

2008-09-04dccp ccid-2: Ack Vector interface clean-upGerrit Renker1-8/+5
This patch brings the Ack Vector interface up to date. Its main purpose is to lay the basis for the subsequent patches of this set, which will use the new data structure fields and routines. There are no real algorithmic changes, rather an adaptation: (1) Replaced the static Ack Vector size (2) with a #define so that it can be adapted (with low loss / Ack Ratio, a value of 1 works, so 2 seems to be sufficient for the moment) and added a solution so that computing the ECN nonce will continue to work - even with larger Ack Vectors. (2) Replaced the #defines for Ack Vector states with a complete enum. (3) Replaced #defines to compute Ack Vector length and state with general purpose routines (inlines), and updated code to use these. (4) Added a `tail' field (conversion to circular buffer in subsequent patch). (5) Updated the (outdated) documentation for Ack Vector struct. (6) All sequence number containers now trimmed to 48 bits. (7) Removal of unused bits: * removed dccpav_ack_nonce from struct dccp_ackvec, since this is already redundantly stored in the `dccpavr_ack_nonce' (of Ack Vector record); * removed Elapsed Time for Ack Vectors (it was nowhere used); * replaced semantics of dccpavr_sent_len with dccpavr_ack_runlen, since the code needs to be able to remember the old run length; * reduced the de-/allocation routines (redundant / duplicate tests). Justification for removing Elapsed Time information [can be removed]: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The Elapsed Time information for Ack Vectors was nowhere used in the code. 2. DCCP does not implement rate-based pacing of acknowledgments. The only recommendation for always including Elapsed Time is in section 11.3 of RFC 4340: "Receivers that rate-pace acknowledgements SHOULD [...] include Elapsed Time options". But such is not the case here. 3. It does not really improve estimation accuracy. The Elapsed Time field only records the time between the arrival of the last acknowledgeable packet and the time the Ack Vector is sent out. Since Linux does not (yet) implement delayed Acks, the time difference will typically be small, since often the arrival of a data packet triggers sending feedback at the HC-receiver. Justification for changes in de-/allocation routines [can be removed]: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * INIT_LIST_HEAD in dccp_ackvec_record_new was redundant, since the list pointers were later overwritten when the node was added via list_add(); * dccp_ackvec_record_new() was called in a single place only; * calls to list_del_init() before calling dccp_ackvec_record_delete() were redundant, since subsequently the entire element was k-freed; * since all calls to dccp_ackvec_record_delete() were preceded to a call to list_del_init(), the WARN_ON test would never evaluate to true; * since all calls to dccp_ackvec_record_delete() were made from within list_for_each_entry_safe(), the test for avr == NULL was redundant; * list_empty() in ackvec_free was redundant, since the same condition is embedded in the loop condition of the subsequent list_for_each_entry_safe().

2008-09-04dccp: Unused argument in CCID tx functionGerrit Renker1-1/+1
This removes the argument `more' from ccid_hc_tx_packet_sent, since it was nowhere used in the entire code. (Anecdotally, this argument was not even used in the original KAME code where the function originally came from; compare the variable moreToSend in the freebsd61-dccp-kame-28.08.2006.patch now maintained by Emmanuel Lochin.)

2008-09-04dccp ccid-2: Remove ccid2hc{tx,rx}_ prefixesGerrit Renker1-139/+135
This patch fixes two problems caused by the ubiquitous long "hctx->ccid2htx_" and "hcrx->ccid2hcrx_" prefixes: * code becomes hard to read; * multiple-line statements are almost inevitable even for simple expressions; The prefixes are not really necessary (compare with "struct tcp_sock"). There had been previous discussion of this on dccp@vger, but so far this was not followed up (most people agreed that the prefixes are too long).

2008-09-04dccp: Registration routines for changing feature valuesGerrit Renker1-3/+3
Two registration routines, for SP and NN features, are provided by this patch, replacing a previous routine which was used for both feature types. These are internal-only routines and therefore start with `__feat_register'. It further exports the known limits of Sequence Window and Ack Ratio as symbolic constants.

2008-09-04dccp: Toggle debug output without module unloadingGerrit Renker1-1/+1
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.
