Stephen Hemminger 16751347a0 [TCP]: remove unused argument to cong_avoid op
None of the existing TCP congestion controls use the rtt value pased
in the ca_ops->cong_avoid interface.  Which is lucky because seq_rtt
could have been -1 when handling a duplicate ack.

Stephen Hemminger 164891aadf [TCP]: Congestion control API update.
Do some simple changes to make congestion control API faster/cleaner.
* use ktime_t rather than timeval
* merge rtt sampling into existing ack callback
  this means one indirect call versus two per ack.
* use flags bits to store options/settings

Stephen Hemminger 4d4d3d1e88 [TCP]: Congestion control initialization.
Change to defer congestion control initialization.

If setsockopt() was used to change TCP_CONGESTION before
connection is established, then protocols that use sequence numbers
to keep track of one RTT interval (vegas, illinois, ...) get confused.

Change the init hook to be called after handshake.

Stephen Hemminger ce7bc3bf15 [TCP]: Restrict congestion control choices.
Allow normal users to only choose among a restricted set of congestion
control choices.  The default is reno and what ever has been configured
as default. But the policy can be changed by administrator at any time.

For example, to allow any choice:
    cp /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_available_congestion_control \
       /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_allowed_congestion_control

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 9772efb970 [TCP]: Appropriate Byte Count support
This is an updated version of the RFC3465 ABC patch originally
for Linux 2.6.11-rc4 by Yee-Ting Li. ABC is a way of counting
bytes ack'd rather than packets when updating congestion control.

The orignal ABC described in the RFC applied to a Reno style
algorithm. For advanced congestion control there is little
change after leaving slow start.

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.
