Gerrit Renker 7e87fe8430 dccp ccid-2: Separate option parsing from CCID processing
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.

Gerrit Renker 3802408644 dccp ccid-2: Update code for the Ack Vector input/registration routine
This patch updates the code which registers new packets as received, using the
new circular buffer interface. It contributes a new algorithm which
 * supports both tail/head pointers and buffer wrap-around and
 * deals with overflow (head/tail move in lock-step).

Gerrit Renker 5753fdfe8b dccp ccid-2: Algorithm to update buffer state
This provides a routine to consistently update the buffer state when the
peer acknowledges receipt of Ack Vectors; updating state in the list of Ack
Vectors as well as in the circular buffer.

While based on RFC 4340, several additional (and necessary) precautions were
added to protect the consistency of the buffer state. These additions are
essential, since analysis and experience showed that the basic algorithm was
insufficient for this task (which lead to problems that were hard to debug).

The algorithm now
 * deals with HC-sender acknowledging to HC-receiver and vice versa,
 * keeps track of the last unacknowledged but received seqno in tail_ackno,
 * has special cases to reset the overflow condition when appropriate,
 * is protected against receiving older information (would mess up buffer state).

Gerrit Renker b3d14bff12 dccp ccid-2: Implementation of circular Ack Vector buffer with overflow handling
This completes the implementation of a circular buffer for Ack Vectors, by
extending the current (linear array-based) implementation.  The changes are:

 (a) An `overflow' flag to deal with the case of overflow. As before, dynamic
     growth of the buffer will not be supported; but code will be added to deal
     robustly with overflowing Ack Vector buffers.

 (b) A `tail_seqno' field. When naively implementing the algorithm of Appendix A
     in RFC 4340, problems arise whenever subsequent Ack Vector records overlap,
     which can bring the entire run length calculation completely out of synch.
     (This is documented on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/\
                                             ack_vectors/tracking_tail_ackno/ .)
 (c) The buffer length is now computed dynamically (i.e. current fill level),
     as the span between head to tail.

As a result, dccp_ackvec_pending() is now simpler - the #ifdef is no longer
necessary since buf_empty is always true when IP_DCCP_ACKVEC is not configured.

Gerrit Renker 7d87093660 dccp ccid-2: Separate internals of Ack Vectors from option-parsing code
This patch
 * separates Ack Vector housekeeping code from option-insertion code;
 * shifts option-specific code from ackvec.c into options.c;
 * introduces a dedicated routine to take care of the Ack Vector records;
 * simplifies the dccp_ackvec_insert_avr() routine: the BUG_ON was redundant,
   since the list is automatically arranged in descending order of ack_seqno.

Gerrit Renker f17a37c9b8 dccp ccid-2: Ack Vector interface clean-up
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).

Gerrit Renker 361a5c1dd0 dccp: Minimise header option overhead in setting the MPS
This patch resolves a long-standing FIXME to dynamically update the Maximum
Packet Size depending on actual options usage.

It uses the flags set by the feature-negotiation infrastructure to compute
the required header option size.

Most options are fixed-size, a notable exception are Ack Vectors (required
currently only by CCID-2). These can have any length between 3 and 1020
bytes. As a result of testing, 16 bytes (2 bytes for type/length plus 14 Ack
Vector cells) have been found to be sufficient for loss-free situations.

There are currently no CCID-specific header options which may appear on data
packets, thus it is not necessary to define a corresponding CCID field as
suggested in the old comment.

Further changes:
----------------
 Adjusted the type of 'cur_mps' to match the unsigned return type of the
 function.

Gerrit Renker 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.

Andrea Bittau bdf13d208d [DCCP] ackvec: infrastructure for sending more than one ackvec per packet
Commiter note:

This was split from Andrea's original patch, in the process I changed the type
of the ackvec index fields to u16 instead of to int and haven't folded
dccp_ackvec_parse with dccp_ackvec_check_rcv_ackno.

Next patch will actually do the insertion of more than one ackvec per packet,
using, initially, up to a max of 2 ackvecs as per Andrea's original patch, then
I'll work on support for larger ackvecs, be it using a sysctl or using
setsockopt.
