This performs a minor optimisation: when ccid_hc_tx_send_packet
returns a value greater zero, then the same call previously was done
again at the begin of the while loop in dccp_wait_for_ccid.
This patch exploits the available information and schedule-timeouts
directly instead.

This factors code common to dccp_v{4,6}_ctl_send_reset into a separate function,
and adds support for filling in the Data 1 ... Data 3 fields from RFC 4340, 5.6.
It is useful to have this separate, since the following Reset codes will always
be generated from the control socket rather than via dccp_send_reset:
* Code 3, "No Connection", cf. 8.3.1;
* Code 4, "Packet Error" (identification for Data 1 added);
* Code 5, "Option Error" (identification for Data 1..3 added, will be used later);
* Code 6, "Mandatory Error" (same as Option Error);
* Code 7, "Connection Refused" (what on Earth is the difference to "No Connection"?);
* Code 8, "Bad Service Code";
* Code 9, "Too Busy";
* Code 10, "Bad Init Cookie" (not used).
Code 0 is not recommended by the RFC, the following codes would be used in
dccp_send_reset() instead, since they all relate to an established DCCP connection:
* Code 1, "Closed";
* Code 2, "Aborted";
* Code 11, "Aggression Penalty" (12.3).

This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4:
"To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD
impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets,
such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second."
The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent
policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and
protects against attacks with forged source addresses.
Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to
xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets
are not supported. This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync
triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against
xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.)
In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and
the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended).
The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues
thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo.

This updates sequence number checking with regard to RFC 4340, 7.5.4.
Missing in the code was an exception for sequence-invalid Reset packets,
which get a Sync acknowledging GSR, instead of (as usual) P.seqno.
This can lead to an oscillating ping-pong flood of Reset packets.
In fact, it has been observed on the wire as follows:
1. client establishes connection to server;
2. before server can write to client, client crashes without notifying
the server (NB: now no longer possible due to ABORT function);
3. server sends DCCP-Data packet (has no ackno);
4. client generates Reset "No Connection", seqno=0, increments seqno;
5. server replies with Sync, using ackno = P.seqno;
6. client generates Reset "No Connection" with seqno = ackno + 1;
7. goto (5).
The difference is that now in (5) the server uses GSR. This causes the
Reset sent by the client in (6) to become sequence-valid, so that in (7)
the vicious circle is broken; the Reset is then enqueued and causes the
socket to enter TIMEWAIT state.

The third parameter of dccp_sample_rtt now becomes useless and is removed.
Also combined the subtraction of the timestamp echo and the elapsed time.
This is safe, since (a) presence of timestamp echo is tested first and (b)
elapsed time is either present and non-zero or it is not set and equals 0
due to the memset in dccp_parse_options.
To avoid measuring option-processing time, the timestamp for measuring the
initial Request/Response RTT sample is taken directly when the function is
called (the Linux implementation always adds a timestamp on the Request,
so there is no loss in doing this).

This patch reduces the number of timestamps taken in the receive path
for each packet.
The ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() routine is called in
* the receive path for each CCID3-controlled packet
* for the nofeedback timer (if no feedback arrives during 4 RTT)
Currently, when there is no loss, each packet gets timestamped twice.
The patch resolves this by recycling the first timestamp taken on packet
reception for RTT sampling.
When the no_feedback_timer() is called, then the timestamp argument is
simply set to NULL - so that ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() takes care of the logic.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet currently returns 0 when the time difference between
current time and t_nom is less than 1000 microseconds.
In this case the packet is sent immediately; but, unlike other packets that can
be emitted on first attempt, it will not have its window counter updated and
its options set as required. This is a bug.
Fix: Require the time difference to be at least 1000 microseconds. The
algorithm then converges: time differences > 1000 microseconds trigger the
timer in dccp_write_xmit; after timer expiry this function is tried again; when
the time difference is less than 1000, the packet will have its options added

The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a
lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the
-EAGAIN buisness we had before.
Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That
works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get
silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules.
We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because
they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the
sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in
libc.
With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from
Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state
resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default.
This lays the framework to either:
1) Make this default at some point or...
2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the
ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of.
The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then
once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we
re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The
packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved
in a certain amount of time.

This fixes an error in the calculation of t_ipi when X converges towards
very low sending rates (between 1 and 64 bytes per second).
Although this case may not sound likely, it can be reproduced by connecting,
hitting enter (1 byte sent) and waiting for some time, during which the
nofeedback timer halves the sending rate until finally it reaches the region
1..64 bytes/sec. Computing X is handled correctly (tested separately); but by
dividing X _before_ entering the calculation of t_ipi, X becomes zero as
a result. This in turn triggers a BUG condition caught in scaled_div().
Fixed by replacing with equivalent statement and explicit typecast for good
measure.

This removes two ambiguities in employing the new definition of before48,
following the analysis on http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01295.html
(1) Updating GSR when P.seqno >= S.SWL
With the old definition we did not update when P.seqno and S.SWL are 2^47 apart. To
ensure the same behaviour as with the old definition, this is replaced with the
equivalent condition dccp_delta_seqno(S.SWL, P.seqno) >= 0
(2) Sending SYNC when P.seqno >= S.OSR
Here it is debatable whether the new definition causes an ambiguity: the case is
similar to (1); and to have consistency with the case (1), we use the equivalent
condition dccp_delta_seqno(S.OSR, P.seqno) >= 0
Detailed Justification
The follows48 relation identifies whether 48-bit sequence number
x is the direct successor of y. Currently, it does not handle cases
of the following type correctly:
follows48(0x(prefix)10000LL, 0x(prefix)0FFFFLL)
where prefix is an arbitrary hex sequence of up to 7 digits.
This is fixed by reusing the new dccp_delta_seqno function.

The TX CCID needs the write_xmit_timer for delaying packet sends. Previously
this timer was only activated on active (connecting) sockets.
This patch initialises the write_xmit_timer in sync with the other timers, i.e.
the timer will be ready on any socket. This is used by applications with a
listening socket which start to stream after receiving an initiation by the
client. The write_xmit_timer is stopped when the application closes, as before.

ehash table layout is currently this one :
First half of this table is used by sockets not in TIME_WAIT state
Second half of it is used by sockets in TIME_WAIT state.
This is non optimal because of for a given hash or socket, the two chain heads
are located in separate cache lines.
Moreover the locks of the second half are never used.
If instead of this halving, we use two list heads in inet_ehash_bucket instead
of only one, we probably can avoid one cache miss, and reduce ram usage,
particularly if sizeof(rwlock_t) is big (various CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK,
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC settings). So we still halves the table but we keep
together related chains to speedup lookups and socket state change.
In this patch I did not try to align struct inet_ehash_bucket, but a future
patch could try to make this structure have a convenient size (a power of two
or a multiple of L1_CACHE_SIZE).
I guess rwlock will just vanish as soon as RCU is plugged into ehash :) , so
maybe we dont need to scratch our heads to align the bucket...
Note : In case struct inet_ehash_bucket is not a power of two, we could
probably change alloc_large_system_hash() (in case it use __get_free_pages())
to free the unused space. It currently allocates a big zone, but the last
quarter of it could be freed. Again, this should be a temporary 'problem'.

This migrates all packet history operations into the routine
ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent, thereby removing synchronization problems
that occur when, as before, the operations are spread over multiple
routines.
The following minor simplifications are also applied:
* several simplifications now follow from this change - several tests
are now no longer required
* removal of one unnecessary variable (dp)
Justification:
Currently packet history operations span two different routines,
one of which is likely to pass through several iterations of sleeping
and awakening.
The first routine, ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet, allocates an entry and
sets a few fields. The remaining fields are filled in when the second
routine (which is not within a sleeping context), ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent,
is called. This has several strong drawbacks:
* it is not necessary to split history operations - all fields can be
filled in by the second routine
* the first routine is called multiple times, until a packet can be sent,
and sleeps meanwhile - this causes a lot of difficulties with regard to
keeping the list consistent
* since both routines do not have a producer-consumer like synchronization,
it is very difficult to maintain data across calls to these routines
* the fact that the routines are called in different contexts (sleeping, not
sleeping) adds further problems

This puts the window counter computation [RFC 4342, 8.1] into a separate
function which is called whenever a new packet is ready for immediate
transmission in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet.
Justification:
The window counter update was previously computed after the packet was sent. This has
two drawbacks, both fixed by this patch:
1) re-compute another timestamp almost directly after the packet was sent (expensive),
2) the CCVal for the window counter is needed at the instant the packet is sent.
Further details:
The initialisation of the window counter is left in the state NO_SENT, as before.
The algorithm will do nothing if either RTT is initialised to 0 (which is ok) or if
the RTT value remains below 4 microseconds (which is almost pathological).

CCID3 performance depends much on the accuracy of RTT samples. If RTT
samples grow too large, performance can be catastrophically poor.
To limit the amount of possible damage in such cases, the patch
* introduces an upper limit which identifies a maximum `sane' RTT value;
* uses a macro to enforce this upper limit.
Using a macro was given preference, since it is necessary to identify the
calling function in the warning message. Since exceeding this threshold
identifies a critical condition, DCCP_CRIT is used and not DCCP_WARN.

As a consequence, a similar test in ccid3.c is now redundant and is

Justification:
Currently DCCP works as a unidirectional service, i.e. a listening server
is not at the same time a connecting client.
As far as I can see, several modifications are necessary until that

In migrating towards using the newer functions scaled_div/scaled_div32
for TFRC computations mapped from floating-point onto integer arithmetic,
this completes the last stage of modifications.
In particular, the overflow case for computing X_calc is circumvented by
* breaking the computation into two stages
* the first stage, res = (s*1E6)/R, cannot overflow due to use of u64
* in the second stage, res = (res*1E6)/f, overflow on u32 is avoided due
to (i) returning UINT_MAX in this case (which is logically appropriate)
and (ii) issuing a warning message into the system log (since very likely
there is a problem somewhere else with the parameters)
Lastly, all such scaling operations are now exported into tfrc.h, since
actually this form of scaled computation is specific to TFRC and not to CCID3.

Problem:
Most target types in the CCID3 code are u32, so subtle conversion errors
can occur if signed time calculations yield negative results: the original
values are lost in the conversion to unsigned, calculation errors go undetected.
This patch therefore
* sets all critical time types from unsigned to suseconds_t
* avoids comparison between signed/unsigned via type-casting
* provides ample warning messages in case time calculations are negative

This simplifies the calculation of a value p for a given fval when the
first loss interval is computed (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). It makes use of the
two new functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 to provide overflow protection.
Additionally, protection against divide-by-zero is extended - in this
case the function will return the maximally possible value of p=100%.
Background:
The maximum fval, f(100%), is approximately 244, i.e. the scaled value of fval
should never exceed 244E6, which fits easily into u32. The problem is the scaling
by 10^6, since additionally R(TT) is in microseconds.
This is resolved by breaking the division into two stages: the first stage
computes fval=(s*10^6)/R, stores that into u64; the second stage computes
fval = (fval*10^6)/X_recv and complains if overflow is reached for u32.
This case is safe since the TFRC reverse-lookup routine then returns p=100%.

This performs two optimisations for the recomputation of the sending rate.
1) Currently the target sending rate X_calc is recalculated whenever
a) the nofeedback timer expires, or
b) a feedback packet is received.
In the (a) case, recomputing X_calc is redundant, since
* the parameters p and RTT do not change in between the
reception of feedback packets;
* the parameter X_recv is either modified from received
feedback or via the nofeedback timer;
* a test (`p == 0') in the nofeedback timer avoids using
a stale/undefined value of X_calc if p was previously 0.
2) The nofeedback timer now only recomputes a timestamp when p == 0.
This is according to step (4) of [RFC 3448, 4.3] and avoids
unnecessarily determining a timestamp.
A debug statement about not updating X is also removed - it helps very
little in debugging and just clutters the logs.

This patch follows a suggestion by Ian McDonald and ensures that in
the current code the value of p can not exceed 100%. Such a value is
illegal and would consequently cause a bug condition in tfrc_calc_x().
The receiver case is also tested, and a warning message is added.

It simplifies waiting for the CCID module to signal that a packet
is ready to be sent. Other simplifications flow on from this such as
removing constants.
As a result of this EAGAIN is not returned any more by dccp_wait_for_ccid
(which would otherwise lead to unnecessarily discarding the packet in
dccp_write_xmit).

This replaces the linear search algorithm for reverse lookup with
binary search.
It has the advantage of better scalability: O(log2(N)) instead of O(N).
This means that the average number of iterations is reduced from 250
(linear search if each value appears equally likely) down to at most 9.

This patch deprecates the existing use of an arbitrary value TFRC_SMALLEST_P
for low-threshold values of p. This avoids masking low-resolution errors.
Instead, the code now checks against real boundaries (implemented by preceding
patch) and provides warnings whenever a real value falls below the threshold.
If such messages are observed, it is a better solution to take this as an
indication that the lookup table needs to be re-engineered.
Changelog:
----------
This patch
* makes handling all TFRC resolution errors local to the TFRC library
* removes unnecessary test whether X_calc is 'infinity' due to p==0 -- this
condition is already caught by tfrc_calc_x()
* removes setting ccid3hctx_p = TFRC_SMALLEST_P in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv
since this is now done by the TFRC library
* updates BUG_ON test in ccid3_hc_tx_no_feedback_timer to take into account
that p now is either 0 (and then X_calc is irrelevant), or it is > 0; since
the handling of TFRC_SMALLEST_P is now taken care of in the tfrc library
Justification:
--------------
The TFRC code uses a lookup table which has a bounded resolution.
The lowest possible value of the loss event rate `p' which can be
resolved is currently 0.0001. Substituting this lower threshold for
p when p is less than 0.0001 results in a huge, exponentially-growing
error. The error can be computed by the following formula:
(f(0.0001) - f(p))/f(p) * 100 for p < 0.0001
Currently the solution is to use an (arbitrary) value
TFRC_SMALLEST_P = 40 * 1E-6 = 0.00004
and to consider all values below this value as `virtually zero'. Due to
the exponentially growing resolution error, this is not a good idea, since
it hides the fact that the table can not resolve practically occurring cases.
Already at p == TFRC_SMALLEST_P, the error is as high as 58.19%!

This fixes the following small error in tfrc_calc_x_reverse_lookup.
1) The table is generated by the following equations:
lookup[index][0] = g((index+1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE);
lookup[index][1] = g((index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE);
where g(q) is 1E6 * f(q/1E6)
2) The reverse lookup assigns an entry in lookup[index][small]
3) This index needs to match the above, i.e.
* if small=0 then
p = (index + 1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE
* if small=1 then
p = (index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE
These are exactly the changes that the patch makes; previously the code did
not conform to the way the lookup table was generated (this difference resulted
in a mean error of about 1.12%).

This avoids a (harmless) warning message being printed at the DCCP server
(the receiver of a DCCP half connection).
Incoming packets are both directed to
* ccid_hc_rx_packet_recv() for the server half
* ccid_hc_tx_packet_recv() for the client half
The message gets printed since on a server the client half is currently not
sending data packets.
This is resolved for the moment by checking the DCCP-role first. In future
times (bidirectional DCCP connections), this test may have to be more
sophisticated.

The main object of this patch is the following bug:
==> In ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, the parameters p and X_recv were updated
_after_ the send rate was calculated. This is clearly an error and is
resolved by re-ordering statements.
In addition,
* r_sample is converted from u32 to long to check whether the time difference
was negative (it would otherwise be converted to a large u32 value)
* protection against RTT=0 (this is possible) is provided in a further patch
* t_elapsed is also converted to long, to match the type of r_sample
* adds a a more debugging information regarding current send rates
* various trivial comment/documentation updates

This bug resulted in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet returning negative
delay values, which in turn triggered silently dequeueing packets in
dccp_write_xmit. As a result, only a few out of the submitted packets made
it at all onto the network. Occasionally, when dccp_wait_for_ccid was
involved, this also triggered a bug warning since ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet
returned a negative value (which in reality was a negative delay value).
The cause for this bug lies in the comparison
if (delay >= hctx->ccid3hctx_delta)
return delay / 1000L;
The type of `delay' is `long', that of ccid3hctx_delta is `u32'. When comparing
negative long values against u32 values, the test returned `true' whenever delay
was smaller than 0 (meaning the packet was overdue to send).
The fix is by casting, subtracting, and then testing the difference with
regard to 0.
This has been tested and shown to work.

The TFRC nofeedback timer normally expires after the maximum of 4
RTTs and twice the current send interval (RFC 3448, 4.3). On LANs
with a small RTT this can mean a high processing load and reduced
performance, since then the nofeedback timer is triggered very
frequently.
This patch provides a configuration option to set the bound for the
nofeedback timer, using as default 100 milliseconds.
By setting the configuration option to 0, strict RFC 3448 behaviour
can be enforced for the nofeedback timer.

This patch implements a suggestion by Ian McDonald and
1) Avoids tests against negative packet lengths by using unsigned int
for packet payload lengths in the CCID send_packet()/packet_sent() routines
2) As a consequence, it removes an now unnecessary test with regard to `len > 0'
in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent: that condition is always true, since
* negative packet lengths are avoided
* ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet flags an error whenever the payload length is 0.
As a consequence, ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is never called as all errors
returned by ccid_hc_tx_send_packet are caught in dccp_write_xmit
3) Removes the third argument of ccid_hc_tx_send_packet (the `len' parameter),
since it is currently always set to skb->len. The code is updated with regard
to this parameter change.

This implements the larger-initial-windows feature for CCID 3, as described in
section 5 of RFC 4342. When the first feedback packet arrives, the sender can
send up to 2..4 packets per RTT, instead of just one.
The patch further
* reduces the number of timestamping calls by passing the timestamp value
(which is computed in one of the calling functions anyway) as argument
* renames one constant with a very long name into one which is shorter and
resembles the one in RFC 3448 (t_mbi)
* simplifies some of the min_t/max_t cases where both `x', `y' have the same
type

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
timer, in the state where no feedback has previously been received

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
clarification.
The patch
* implements [RFC 4342, sec. 5] with regard to the above case
* consolidates handling timer restart by
- adding an appropriate jump label and
- initialising the timeout value
