Doug Leith 8f65b5354b tcp_htcp: last_cong bug fix
This patch fixes a minor bug in tcp_htcp.c which has been
highlighted by Lachlan Andrew and Lawrence Stewart.  Currently, the
time since the last congestion event, which is stored in variable
last_cong, is reset whenever there is a state change into
TCP_CA_Open.  This includes transitions of the type
TCP_CA_Open->TCP_CA_Disorder->TCP_CA_Open which are not associated
with backoff of cwnd.  The patch changes last_cong to be updated
only on transitions into TCP_CA_Open that occur after experiencing
the congestion-related states TCP_CA_Loss, TCP_CA_Recovery,
TCP_CA_CWR.

Stephen Hemminger f34d1955df [TCP]: H-TCP maxRTT estimation at startup
Small patch to H-TCP from Douglas Leith. 

Fix estimation of maxRTT.  The original code ignores rtt measurements
during slow start (via the check tp->snd_ssthresh < 0xFFFF) yet this
is probably a good time to try to estimate max rtt as delayed acking
is disabled and slow start will only exit on a loss which presumably
corresponds to a maxrtt measurement.  Second, the original code (via
the check htcp_ccount(ca) > 3) ignores rtt data during what it
estimates to be the first 3 round-trip times.  This seems like an
unnecessary check now that the RCV timestamp are no longer used
for rtt estimation.

Stephen Hemminger 113bbbd8d2 [TCP]: htcp - use measured rtt
Change HTCP to use measured RTT rather than smooth RTT.
Srtt is computed using the TCP receive timestamp
options, so it is vulnerable to hostile receivers. To avoid any problems
this might cause use the measured RTT instead.

Stephen Hemminger 30cfd0baf0 [TCP]: congestion control API pass RTT in microseconds
This patch changes the API for the callback that is done after an ACK is
received. It solves a couple of issues:

  * Some congestion controls want higher resolution value of RTT
    (controlled by TCP_CONG_RTT_SAMPLE flag). These don't really want a ktime, but
    all compute a RTT in microseconds.

  * Other congestion control could use RTT at jiffies resolution.

To keep API consistent the units should be the same for both cases, just the
resolution should change.

Stephen Hemminger 16751347a0 [TCP]: remove unused argument to cong_avoid op
None of the existing TCP congestion controls use the rtt value pased

Stephen Hemminger 72dc5b9225 [TCP]: Minimum congestion window consolidation.
Many of the TCP congestion methods all just use ssthresh
as the minimum congestion window on decrease.  Rather than
duplicating the code, just have that be the default if that
handle in the ops structure is not set.

Minor behaviour change to TCP compound.  It probably wants
to use this (ssthresh) as lower bound, rather than ssthresh/2
because the latter causes undershoot on loss.

Stephen Hemminger f4805eded7 [TCP]: fix congestion window update when using TSO deferal
TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful.
On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and
50Mbits/sec without TSO.

The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum
number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until 
we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window 
unless we have filled, as per RFC2861.

This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full
with something smarter that accounts for TSO.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 6687e988d9 [ICSK]: Move TCP congestion avoidance members to icsk
This changeset basically moves tcp_sk()->{ca_ops,ca_state,etc} to inet_csk(),
minimal renaming/moving done in this changeset to ease review.

Most of it is just changes of struct tcp_sock * to struct sock * parameters.

With this we move to a state closer to two interesting goals:

1. Generalisation of net/ipv4/tcp_diag.c, becoming inet_diag.c, being used
   for any INET transport protocol that has struct inet_hashinfo and are
   derived from struct inet_connection_sock. Keeps the userspace API, that will
   just not display DCCP sockets, while newer versions of tools can support
   DCCP.

2. INET generic transport pluggable Congestion Avoidance infrastructure, using
   the current TCP CA infrastructure with DCCP.

Baruch Even a7868ea68d [TCP]: Add H-TCP congestion control module.
H-TCP is a congestion control algorithm developed at the Hamilton Institute, by
Douglas Leith and Robert Shorten. It is extending the standard Reno algorithm
with mode switching is thus a relatively simple modification.

H-TCP is defined in a layered manner as it is still a research platform. The
basic form includes the modification of beta according to the ratio of maxRTT
to min RTT and the alpha=2*factor*(1-beta) relation, where factor is dependant
on the time since last congestion.

The other layers improve convergence by adding appropriate factors to alpha.

The following patch implements the H-TCP algorithm in it's basic form.
