This corrects the setting of the nofeedback timer with regard to RFC
3448 - previously it was not set to max(4*R, 2*s/X) as specified. Using
the maximum of 1 second as upper bound (as it was done before) can have
detrimental effects, especially if R is small.

It has been tested to compile and to work.

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.
* adds `XXX'es to highlight that currently the nofeedback timer is set
in a non-standard way

* resolves a FIXME regarding the re-calculation of t_ipi within the nofeedback

This patch concerns updating the value of the nofeedback timer when no feedback
has been received so far.
Since in this case the value of R is still undefined according to [RFC 3448,
4.2], we can not perform step (3) of [RFC 3448, 4.3]. A clarification is
provided in [RFC 4342, sec. 5], which states that in these cases the nofeedback
timer (still) expires "after two seconds".
Many thanks to Ian McDonald for pointing this out and providing the

This patch removes a switch statement which is redundant since,
* nothing is done in states TFRC_SSTATE_NO_SENT/TFRC_SSTATE_NO_FBACK
* it is impossible that the function is called in the state TFRC_SSTATE_TERM, since
--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
--however, when feedback arrives via ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, there is an identical
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
--since t_ipi has not changed, the values of t_delta and t_nom also do not change,
they depend fully on t_ipi

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.

2) Upon notification of a new ack.

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)

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

In addition, it
(1) fixes two bugs in the DCCPv4 checksum computation:

* 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.

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.

I think I got the cause for the Oops observed in
http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg00578.html
The problem is always with applications listening on PF_INET6 sockets. Apart
from the mentioned oops, I observed another one one, triggered at irregular
intervals via timer interrupt:
run_timer_softirq -> dccp_keepalive_timer
-> inet_csk_reqsk_queue_prune
-> reqsk_free
-> dccp_v6_reqsk_destructor
The latter function is the problem and is also the last function to be called
in said kernel panic.
In any case, there is a real problem with allocating the right request_sock
which is what this patch tackles.
It fixes the following problem:
- application listens on PF_INET6
- DCCPv4 packet comes in, is handed over to dccp_v4_do_rcv, from there
to dccp_v4_conn_request
Now: socket is PF_INET6, packet is IPv4. The following code then furnishes the
connection with IPv6 - request_sock operations:
req = reqsk_alloc(sk->sk_prot->rsk_prot);
The first problem is that all further incoming packets will get a Reset since
the connection can not be looked up.
The second problem is worse:
--> reqsk_alloc is called instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc
--> consequently inet6_rsk_offset is never set (dangling pointer)
--> the request_sock_ops are nevertheless still dccp6_request_ops
--> destructor is called via reqsk_free
--> dccp_v6_reqsk_destructor tries to free random memory location (inet6_rsk_offset not set)
--> panic
I have tested this for a while, DCCP sockets are now handled correctly in all
three scenarios (v4/v6 only/v4-mapped).
Commiter note: I've added the dccp_request_sock_ops forward declaration to keep
the tree building and to reduce the size of the patch for 2.6.19,
later I'll move the functions to the top of the affected source
code to match what we have in the TCP counterpart, where this
problem hasn't existed in the first place, dumb me not to have
done the same thing on DCCP land 8)

This has been discussed on dccp@vger and removes the necessity for applications
to supply service codes in each and every case.
If an application does not want to provide a service code, that's fine, it will
be given 0. Otherwise, service codes can be set via socket options as before.
This patch has been tested using various client/server configurations
(including listening on multiple service codes).

When multiple losses occur in one RTT, the window should be halved
only once [a single "congestion event"]. This is now implemented,
although not perfectly. Slightly changed the interface for changing
the cwnd: pass hctx instead of dp. This is required in order to allow
for change_cwnd to be called from _init().

Allocate more sequence state on demand. Each time a packet is sent
out by CCID2, a record of it needs to be kept. This list of records
grows proportionally to cwnd. Previously, the length of this list was
hardcored and therefore the cwnd could only grow to this value (of
128). Now, records are allocated on demand as necessary---cwnd may
grow as it wishes. The exceptional case of when memory is not
available is not handled gracefully. Perhaps, cwnd should be capped
at that point.

If not enough cwnd is available, tell the sender to check again as
soon as possible. This will increase CPU utilization (polling
frequently for cwnd) but will improve network performance. That is,
the sender will need to wait less before detecting the increase of
cwnd. A better architecture would be for the CCID to call-back (or
dequeue) from DCCP when it is able to transmit traffic -- not the
other way around as it currently occurs.

Right now most inet_lookup_* functions take a host-order hnum instead
of a network-order dport because that's how it is represented
internally.
This means that users of these functions have to be careful about
using the right byte-order. To add more confusion, inet_lookup takes
a network-order dport unlike all other functions.
So this patch changes all visible inet_lookup functions to take a
dport and move all dport->hnum conversion inside them.

This fixes CCID3 to give much closer performance to RFC4342.
CCID3 is meant to alter sending rate based on RTT and loss.
The performance was verified against:
http://wand.net.nz/~perry/max_download.php
For example I tested with netem and had the following parameters:
Delayed Acks 1, MSS 256 bytes, RTT 105 ms, packet loss 5%.
This gives a theoretical speed of 71.9 Kbits/s. I measured across three
runs with this patch set and got 70.1 Kbits/s. Without this patchset the
average was 232 Kbits/s which means Linux can't be used for CCID3 research
properly.
I also tested with netem turned off so box just acting as router with 1.2
msec RTT. The performance with this is the same with or without the patch
at around 30 Mbit/s.

The current users of ip6_dst_lookup can be divided into two classes:
1) The caller holds no locks and is in user-context (UDP).
2) The caller does not want to lookup the dst cache at all.
The second class covers everyone except UDP because most people do
the cache lookup directly before calling ip6_dst_lookup. This patch
adds ip6_sk_dst_lookup for the first class.
Similarly ip6_dst_store users can be divded into those that need to
take the socket dst lock and those that don't. This patch adds
__ip6_dst_store for those (everyone except UDP/datagram) that don't
need an extra lock.

I went to alter the default sysctl and it didn't take for new sockets.
Below patch fixes this.
I think the default is too low but it is what the DCCP spec specifies.
As a side effect of this my rx speed using iperf goes from about 2.8 Mbits/sec
to 3.5. This is still far too slow but it is a step in the right direction.
