ddebc973c5 dccp: Lockless integration of CCID congestion-control plugins
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.

eb4dea5853 net: Fix percpu counters deadlock
When we converted the protocol atomic counters such as the orphan
count and the total socket count deadlocks were introduced due to
the mismatch in BH status of the spots that used the percpu counter
operations.

Based on the diagnosis and patch by Peter Zijlstra, this patch
fixes these issues by disabling BH where we may be in process
context.

6fdd34d43b dccp ccid-2: Phase out the use of boolean Ack Vector sysctl
This removes the use of the sysctl and the minisock variable for the Send Ack
Vector feature, as it now is handled fully dynamically via feature negotiation
(i.e. when CCID-2 is enabled, Ack Vectors are automatically enabled as per
 RFC 4341, 4.).

Using a sysctl in parallel to this implementation would open the door to
crashes, since much of the code relies on tests of the boolean minisock /
sysctl variable. Thus, this patch replaces all tests of type

	if (dccp_msk(sk)->dccpms_send_ack_vector)
		/* ... */
with
	if (dp->dccps_hc_rx_ackvec != NULL)
		/* ... */

The dccps_hc_rx_ackvec is allocated by the dccp_hdlr_ackvec() when feature
negotiation concluded that Ack Vectors are to be used on the half-connection.
Otherwise, it is NULL (due to dccp_init_sock/dccp_create_openreq_child),
so that the test is a valid one.

The activation handler for Ack Vectors is called as soon as the feature
negotiation has concluded at the
 * server when the Ack marking the transition RESPOND => OPEN arrives;
 * client after it has sent its ACK, marking the transition REQUEST => PARTOPEN.

Adding the sequence number of the Response packet to the Ack Vector has been
removed, since
 (a) connection establishment implies that the Response has been received;
 (b) the CCIDs only look at packets received in the (PART)OPEN state, i.e.
     this entry will always be ignored;
 (c) it can not be used for anything useful - to detect loss for instance, only
     packets received after the loss can serve as pseudo-dupacks.

There was a FIXME to change the error code when dccp_ackvec_add() fails.
I removed this after finding out that:
 * the check whether ackno < ISN is already made earlier,
 * this Response is likely the 1st packet with an Ackno that the client gets,
 * so when dccp_ackvec_add() fails, the reason is likely not a packet error.

6eb55d172b dccp: Integration of dynamic feature activation - part 1 (socket setup)
This first patch out of three replaces the hardcoded default settings with
initialisation code for the dynamic feature negotiation.

The patch also ensures that the client feature-negotiation queue is flushed
only when entering the OPEN state.

Since confirmed Change options are removed as soon as they are confirmed
(in the DCCP-Response), this ensures that Confirm options are retransmitted.

Note on retransmitting Confirm options:
---------------------------------------
Implementation experience showed that it is necessary to retransmit Confirm
options. Thanks to Leandro Melo de Sales who reported a bug in an earlier
revision of the patch set, resulting from not retransmitting these options.

As long as the client is in PARTOPEN, it needs to retransmit the Confirm
options for the Change options received on the DCCP-Response from the server.

Otherwise, if the packet containing the Confirm options gets dropped in the
network, the connection aborts due to undefined feature negotiation state.

1910299636 dccp: Tidy up setsockopt calls
This splits the setsockopt calls into two groups, depending on whether an
integer argument (val) is required and whether routines being called do
their own locking.

Some options (such as setting the CCID) use u8 rather than int, so that for
these the test with regard to integer-sizeof can not be used.

The second switch-case statement now only has those statements which need
locking and which make use of `val'.

2945055984 dccp: Feature negotiation for minimum-checksum-coverage
This provides feature negotiation for server minimum checksum coverage
which so far has been missing.

Since sender/receiver coverage values range only from 0...15, their
type has also been reduced in size from u16 to u4.

Feature-negotiation options are now generated for both sender and receiver
coverage, i.e. when the peer has `forgotten' to enable partial coverage
then feature negotiation will automatically enable (negotiate) the partial
coverage value for this connection.

49aebc66d6 dccp: Deprecate old setsockopt framework
The previous setsockopt interface, which passed socket options via struct
dccp_so_feat, is complicated/difficult to use. Continuing to support it leads to
ugly code since the old approach did not distinguish between NN and SP values.

This patch removes the old setsockopt interface and replaces it with two new
functions to register NN/SP values for feature negotiation. 
These are essentially wrappers around the internal __feat_register functions,
with checking added to avoid

 * wrong usage (type);
 * changing values while the connection is in progress.

3ab5aee7fe net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls
RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure :
- sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the
  price of call_rcu() at freeing time.
- hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers.

This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established
and timewait sockets.

Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications
using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting
rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case.

__inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to
dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock)

Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU
(bind table and listen table are still using traditional locking)

9eca0a47de dccp: Resolve dependencies of features on choice of CCID
This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly
depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector
feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of).

For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows:
 * since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing 
   endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection;

 * a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer
   with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4);

 * for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus
   negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack
   Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or
   ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack
   Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment
   in the source code.

An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature,
since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options
of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation
options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option,
as it is used by the CCID3 code.

Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID.

The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has
made all other registrations for changing default values of features.

The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation
invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0'
is used to mark the end of the table.

d90ebcbfa7 dccp: Query supported CCIDs
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.

34a081be8e dccp tfrc: Let dccp_tfrc_lib do the sampling work

 * updating the byte-counter `bytes_recvd' in between sending feedbacks.
The result is a better separation of CCID-3 specific and TFRC specific
code, which aids future integration with ECN and e.g. CCID-4.

Further changes:

 * replaced magic number of 536 with equivalent constant TCP_MIN_RCVMSS;

d6da3511d6 dccp: Policy-based packet dequeueing infrastructure
This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of 
TX packets and provides two policies:
 * a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and
 * a priority based policy (set via socket options).
Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write
queue (can be overridden via socket options). 

The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority
identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field
is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary
data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.

146993cf51 dccp: Refine the wait-for-ccid mechanism
This extends the existing wait-for-ccid routine so that it may be used with
different types of CCID. It further addresses the problems listed below.

The code looks if the write queue is non-empty and grants the TX CCID up to
`timeout' jiffies to drain the queue. It will instead purge that queue if
 * the delay suggested by the CCID exceeds the time budget;
 * a socket error occurred while waiting for the CCID;
 * there is a signal pending (eg. annoyed user pressed Control-C);
 * the CCID does not support delays (we don't know how long it will take).


                 D e t a i l s  [can be removed]
                 -------------------------------
DCCP's sending mechanism functions a bit like non-blocking I/O: dccp_sendmsg()
will enqueue up to net.dccp.default.tx_qlen packets (default=5), without waiting
for them to be released to the network.

Rate-based CCIDs, such as CCID3/4, can impose sending delays of up to maximally
64 seconds (t_mbi in RFC 3448). Hence the write queue may still contain packets
when the application closes. Since the write queue is congestion-controlled by
the CCID, draining the queue is also under control of the CCID.

There are several problems that needed to be addressed:
 1) The queue-drain mechanism only works with rate-based CCIDs. If CCID2 for
    example has a full TX queue and becomes network-limited just as the
    application wants to close, then waiting for CCID2 to become unblocked could
    lead to an indefinite  delay (i.e., application "hangs").
 2) Since each TX CCID in turn uses a feedback mechanism, there may be changes
    in its sending policy while the queue is being drained. This can lead to
    further delays during which the application will not be able to terminate.
 3) The minimum wait time for CCID3/4 can be expected to be the queue length
    times the current inter-packet delay. For example if tx_qlen=100 and a delay
    of 15 ms is used for each packet, then the application would have to wait
    for a minimum of 1.5 seconds before being allowed to exit.
 4) There is no way for the user/application to control this behaviour. It would
    be good to use the timeout argument of dccp_close() as an upper bound. Then
    the maximum time that an application is willing to wait for its CCIDs to can
    be set via the SO_LINGER option.

These problems are addressed by giving the CCID a grace period of up to the
`timeout' value.

The wait-for-ccid function is, as before, used when the application 
 (a) has read all the data in its receive buffer and
 (b) if SO_LINGER was set with a non-zero linger time, or
 (c) the socket is either in the OPEN (active close) or in the PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ
     state (client application closes after receiving CloseReq).

In addition, there is a catch-all case by calling __skb_queue_purge() after 
waiting for the CCID. This is necessary since the write queue may still have
data when
 (a) the host has been passively-closed,
 (b) abnormal termination (unread data, zero linger time),
 (c) wait-for-ccid could not finish within the given time limit.

51c7d4fa26 dccp: Implement both feature-local and feature-remote Sequence Window feature

  * sequence-number-validity (W) and 
  * acknowledgment-number-validity (W') windows 
derive as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.3. 

Specifically, the following changes are introduced:
  * integrated new socket fields into dccp_sk;
  * updated the update_gsr/gss routines with regard to these fields;
  * updated handler code: the Sequence Window feature is located at the TX side,
    so the local feature is meant if the handler-rx flag is false;
  * the initialisation of `rcv_wnd' in reqsk is removed, since
    - rcv_wnd is not used by the code anywhere;
    - sequence number checks are not done in the LISTEN state (cf. 7.5.3);
    - dccp_check_req checks the Ack number validity more rigorously;
  * the `struct dccp_minisock' became empty and is now removed.

Until the handshake completes with activating negotiated values, the local/remote
Sequence-Window values are undefined and thus can not reliably be estimated.
This issue is addressed in a separate patch.

To make full use of this facility, the remaining patches of this patch set are
needed, which track dependencies and activate negotiated feature values.

Note on the maximum number of CCIDs that can be registered:
-----------------------------------------------------------
The maximum number of CCIDs that can be registered on the socket is constrained
by the space in a Confirm/Change feature negotiation option. 

The space in these in turn depends on the size of header options as defined
in RFC 4340, 5.8. Since this is a recurring constant, it has been moved from
ackvec.h into linux/dccp.h, clarifying its purpose.

Relative to this size, the maximum number of CCID identifiers that can be 
present in a Confirm option (which always consumes 1 byte more than a Change
option, cf. 6.1) is 2 bytes less than the maximum TLV size: one for the
CCID-feature-type and one for the selected value.

73bbe095bb dccp: Tidy up setsockopt calls
This splits the setsockopt calls into two groups, depending on whether an
integer argument (val) is required and whether routines being called do
their own locking.

Some options (such as setting the CCID) use u8 rather than int, so that for
these the test with regard to integer-sizeof can not be used.

The second switch-case statement now only has those statements which need
locking and which make use of `val'.

20f41eee82 dccp: Feature negotiation for minimum-checksum-coverage
This provides feature negotiation for server minimum checksum coverage
which so far has been missing.

Since sender/receiver coverage values range only from 0...15, their
type has also been reduced in size from u16 to u4.

Feature-negotiation options are now generated for both sender and receiver
coverage, i.e. when the peer has `forgotten' to enable partial coverage
then feature negotiation will automatically enable (negotiate) the partial
coverage value for this connection.

668144f7b4 dccp: Deprecate old setsockopt framework
The previous setsockopt interface, which passed socket options via struct 
dccp_so_feat, is complicated/difficult to use. Continuing to support it leads to
ugly code since the old approach did not distinguish between NN and SP values.

This patch removes the old setsockopt interface and replaces it with two new
functions to register NN/SP values for feature negotiation. These are 
essentially wrappers around the internal __feat_register functions, with 
checking added to avoid
 * wrong usage (type);
 * changing values while the connection is in progress.

093e1f46cf dccp: Resolve dependencies of features on choice of CCID
This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly
depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector
feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of).

For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows:
 * since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing 
   endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection;

 * a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer
   with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4);

 * for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus
   negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack
   Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or
   ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack
   Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment
   in the source code.

An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature,
since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options
of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation
options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option,
as it is used by the CCID3 code.

Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID.

The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has
made all other registrations for changing default values of features.

The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation
invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0'
is used to mark the end of the table.

71bb49596b dccp: Query supported CCIDs
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.

48816322ad dccp: Empty the write queue when disconnecting
dccp_disconnect() can be called due to several reasons:

 1. when the connection setup failed (inet_stream_connect());
 2. when shutting down (inet_shutdown(), inet_csk_listen_stop());
 3. when aborting the connection (dccp_close() with 0 linger time).

In case (1) the write queue is empty. This patch empties the write queue,
if in case (2) or (3) it was not yet empty.

This avoids triggering the write-queue BUG_TRAP in sk_stream_kill_queues()
later on.

It also seems natural to do: when breaking an association, to delete all
packets that were originally intended for the soon-disconnected end (compare
with call to tcp_write_queue_purge in tcp_disconnect()).

028b027524 [DCCP]: Fix skb->cb conflicts with IP
dev_queue_xmit() and the other IP output functions expect to get a skb
with clear or properly initialized skb->cb. Unlike TCP and UDP, the
dccp_skb_cb doesn't contain a struct inet_skb_parm at the beginning,
so the DCCP-specific data is interpreted by the IP output functions.
This can cause false negatives for the conditional POST_ROUTING hook
invocation, making the packet bypass the hook.

Add a inet_skb_parm/inet6_skb_parm union to the beginning of
dccp_skb_cb to avoid clashes. Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON to make
sure it fits in the cb.

ab1e0a13d7 [SOCK] proto: Add hashinfo member to struct proto
This way we can remove TCP and DCCP specific versions of

sk->sk_prot->get_port: both v4 and v6 use inet_csk_get_port
sk->sk_prot->hash:     inet_hash is directly used, only v6 need
                       a specific version to deal with mapped sockets
sk->sk_prot->unhash:   both v4 and v6 use inet_hash directly

struct inet_connection_sock_af_ops also gets a new member, bind_conflict, so
that inet_csk_get_port can find the per family routine.

Now only the lookup routines receive as a parameter a struct inet_hashtable.

With this we further reuse code, reducing the difference among INET transport
protocols.

Eventually work has to be done on UDP and SCTP to make them share this
infrastructure and get as a bonus inet_diag interfaces so that iproute can be
used with these protocols.

92d31920b8 [DCCP]: Shift the retransmit timer for active-close into output.c
When performing active close, RFC 4340, 8.3. requires to retransmit the
Close/CloseReq with a backoff-retransmit timer starting at intially 2 RTTs.

This patch shifts the existing code for active-close retransmit timer
into output.c, so that the retransmit timer is started when the first
Close/CloseReq is sent. Previously, the timer was started when, after
releasing the socket in dccp_close(), the actively-closing side had not yet
reached the CLOSED/TIMEWAIT state.

The patch further reduces the initial timeout from 3 seconds to the required
2 RTTs, where - in absence of a known RTT - the fallback value specified in
RFC 4340, 3.4 is used.

0c86962076 [DCCP]: Integrate state transitions for passive-close
This adds the necessary state transitions for the two forms of passive-close

 * PASSIVE_CLOSE    - which is entered when a host   receives a Close;
 * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ - which is entered when a client receives a CloseReq.

Here is a detailed account of what the patch does in each state.

1) Receiving CloseReq

  The pseudo-code in 8.5 says:

     Step 13: Process CloseReq
          If P.type == CloseReq and S.state < CLOSEREQ,
              Generate Close
              S.state := CLOSING
              Set CLOSING timer.

  This means we need to address what to do in CLOSED, LISTEN, REQUEST, RESPOND, PARTOPEN, and OPEN.

   * CLOSED:         silently ignore - it may be a late or duplicate CloseReq;
   * LISTEN/RESPOND: will not appear, since Step 7 is performed first (we know we are the client);
   * REQUEST:        perform Step 13 directly (no need to enqueue packet);
   * OPEN/PARTOPEN:  enter PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ so that the application has a chance to process unread data.

  When already in PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ, no second CloseReq is enqueued. In any other state, the CloseReq is ignored.
  I think that this offers some robustness against rare and pathological cases: e.g. a simultaneous close where
  the client sends a Close and the server a CloseReq. The client will then be retransmitting its Close until it
  gets the Reset, so ignoring the CloseReq while in state CLOSING is sane.

2) Receiving Close

  The code below from 8.5 is unconditional.

     Step 14: Process Close
          If P.type == Close,
              Generate Reset(Closed)
              Tear down connection
              Drop packet and return

  Thus we need to consider all states:
   * CLOSED:           silently ignore, since this can happen when a retransmitted or late Close arrives;
   * LISTEN:           dccp_rcv_state_process() will generate a Reset ("No Connection");
   * REQUEST:          perform Step 14 directly (no need to enqueue packet);
   * RESPOND:          dccp_check_req() will generate a Reset ("Packet Error") -- left it at that;
   * OPEN/PARTOPEN:    enter PASSIVE_CLOSE so that application has a chance to process unread data;
   * CLOSEREQ:         server performed active-close -- perform Step 14;
   * CLOSING:          simultaneous-close: use a tie-breaker to avoid message ping-pong (see comment);
   * PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ: ignore - the peer has a bug (sending first a CloseReq and now a Close);
   * TIMEWAIT:         packet is ignored.

   Note that the condition of receiving a packet in state CLOSED here is different from the condition "there
   is no socket for such a connection": the socket still exists, but its state indicates it is unusable.

   Last, dccp_finish_passive_close sets either DCCP_CLOSED or DCCP_CLOSING = TCP_CLOSING, so that
   sk_stream_wait_close() will wait for the final Reset (which will trigger CLOSING => CLOSED).
