This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno
validity: the problem is that the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL were
only performed at the begin of the connection, during the handshake.
Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2),
it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first
W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection.
This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time
during the lifetime of a connection.
Therefore the consequence is to perform this safety check each time SWL/AWL
are updated.
A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window
feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the
feature negotiation has completed.
During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection,
the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct
bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin
feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).
A detailed rationale is below -- can be removed from the commit message.
1. Server sequence number checks during initial handshake
---------------------------------------------------------
The server can not use the fields of the listening socket for seqno/ackno checks
and thus needs to store all relevant information on a per-connection basis on
the dccp_request socket. This is a size-constrained structure and has currently
only ISS (dreq_iss) and ISR (dreq_isr) defined.
Adding further fields (SW{L,H}, AW{L,H}) would increase the size of the struct
and it is questionable whether this will have any practical gain. The currently
implemented solution is as follows.
* receiving first Request: dccp_v{4,6}_conn_request sets
ISR := P.seqno, ISS := dccp_v{4,6}_init_sequence()
* sending first Response: dccp_v{4,6}_send_response via dccp_make_response()
sets P.seqno := ISS, sets P.ackno := ISR
* receiving retransmitted Request: dccp_check_req() overrides ISR := P.seqno
* answering retransmitted Request: dccp_make_response() sets ISS += 1,
otherwise as per first Response
* completing the handshake: succeeds in dccp_check_req() for the first Ack
where P.ackno == ISS (P.seqno is not tested)
* creating child socket: ISS, ISR are copied from the request_sock
This solution will succeed whenever the server can receive the Request and the
subsequent Ack in succession, without retransmissions. If there is packet loss,
the client needs to retransmit until this condition succeeds; it will otherwise
eventually give up. Adding further fields to the request_sock could increase
the robustness a bit, in that it would make possible to let a reordered Ack
(from a retransmitted Response) pass. The argument against such a solution is
that if the packet loss is not persistent and an Ack gets through, why not
wait for the one answering the original response: if the loss is persistent, it
is probably better to not start the connection in the first place.
Long story short: the present design (by Arnaldo) is simple and will likely work
just as well as a more complicated solution. As a consequence, {A,S}W{L,H} are
not needed until the moment the request_sock is cloned into the accept queue.
At that stage feature negotiation has completed, so that the values for the local
and remote Sequence Window feature (7.5.2) are known, i.e. we are now in a better
position to compute {A,S}W{L,H}.
2. Client sequence number checks during initial handshake
---------------------------------------------------------
Until entering PARTOPEN the client does not need the adjustments, since it
constrains the Ack window to the packet it sent.
* sending first Request: dccp_v{4,6}_connect() choose ISS,
dccp_connect() then sets GAR := ISS (as per 8.5),
dccp_transmit_skb() (with the previous bug fix) sets
GSS := ISS, AWL := ISS, AWH := GSS
* n-th retransmitted Request (with previous patch):
dccp_retransmit_skb() via timer calls
dccp_transmit_skb(), which sets GSS := ISS+n
and then AWL := ISS, AWH := ISS+n
* receiving any Response: dccp_rcv_request_sent_state_process()
-- accepts packet if AWL <= P.ackno <= AWH;
-- sets GSR = ISR = P.seqno
* sending the Ack completing the handshake: dccp_send_ack() calls
dccp_transmit_skb(), which sets GSS += 1
and AWL := ISS, AWH := GSS

This adds full support for local/remote Sequence Window feature, from which the
* 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.

This removes the use of the sysctl and the minisock variable for the Send Ack
Vector feature, which is now handled fully dynamically via feature negotiation;
i.e. when CCID2 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.

Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now:
* for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts;
* for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths.
Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing
behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they
are needed (e.g. in CCID-3).
This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the
values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings
are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking),
hence this form of support is redundant.
At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature is with the default
value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when
it is allocated. If the choice of CCID or feature negotiation enables NDP
count, this will then be updated via the NDP activation handler.

The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector
case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of
feature negotiation may be something different.
The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer
interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs earlier in this
patch set.
Also removed the constructors for the TX CCID and the RX CCID, since the
switch rx/non-rx is done by the handler in minisocks.c (and the handler is
the only place in the code where CCIDs are loaded).

This patch integrates the activation of features at the end of negotiation
into the server-side code.
Note:
In dccp_create_openreq_child the request_sock argument is no longer constant,
since dccp_activate_values() uses the feature-negotiation list on dreq to sort
out the initialisation values for the different features of the child socket;
and purges this queue after use (but the `req' argument to openreq_child
can and does still remain constant).

This patch deprecates the Ack Ratio sysctl, since
* Ack Ratio is entirely ignored by CCID-3 and CCID-4,
* Ack Ratio currently doesn't work in CCID-2 (i.e. is always set to 1);
* even if it would work in CCID-2, there is no point for a user to change it:
- Ack Ratio is constrained by cwnd (RFC 4341, 6.1.2),
- if Ack Ratio > cwnd, the system resorts to spurious RTO timeouts
(since waiting for Acks which will never arrive in this window),
- cwnd is not a user-configurable value.
The only reasonable place for Ack Ratio is to print it for debugging. It is
planned to do this later on, as part of e.g. dccp_probe.
With this patch Ack Ratio is now under full control of feature negotiation:
* Ack Ratio is resolved as a dependency of the selected CCID;
* if the chosen CCID supports it (i.e. CCID == CCID-2), Ack Ratio is set to
the default of 2, following RFC 4340, 11.3 - "New connections start with Ack
Ratio 2 for both endpoints";
* what happens then is part of another patch set, since it concerns the
dynamic update of Ack Ratio while the connection is in full flight.

In DCCP, timestamps can occur on packets anytime, CCID3 uses a timestamp(/echo) on the Request/Response
exchange. This patch addresses the following situation:
* timestamps are recorded on the listening socket;
* Responses are sent from dccp_request_sockets;
* suppose two connections reach the listening socket with very small time in between:
* the first timestamp value gets overwritten by the second connection request.
This is not really good, so this patch separates timestamps into
* those which are received by the server during the initial handshake (on dccp_request_sock);
* those which are received by the client or the client after connection establishment.
As before, a timestamp of 0 is regarded as indicating that no (meaningful) timestamp has been
received (in addition, a warning message is printed if hosts send 0-valued timestamps).
The timestamp-echoing now works as follows:
* when a timestamp is present on the initial Request, it is placed into dreq, due to the
call to dccp_parse_options in dccp_v{4,6}_conn_request;
* when a timestamp is present on the Ack leading from RESPOND => OPEN, it is copied over
from the request_sock into the child cocket in dccp_create_openreq_child;
* timestamps received on an (established) dccp_sock are treated as before.
Since Elapsed Time is measured in hundredths of milliseconds (13.2), the new dccp_timestamp()
function is used, as it is expected that the time between receiving the timestamp and
sending the timestamp echo will be very small against the wrap-around time. As a byproduct,
this allows smaller timestamping-time fields.
Furthermore, inserting the Timestamp Echo option has been taken out of the block starting with
'!dccp_packet_without_ack()', since Timestamp Echo can be carried on any packet (5.8 and 13.3).

This adds option-parsing code to processing of Acks in the listening state
on request_socks on the server, serving two purposes
(i) resolves a FIXME (removed);
(ii) paves the way for feature-negotiation during connection-setup.
There is an intended subtlety here with regard to dccp_check_req:
Parsing options happens only after testing whether the received packet is
a retransmitted Request. Otherwise, if the Request contained (a possibly
large number of) feature-negotiation options, recomputing state would have to
happen each time a retransmitted Request arrives, which opens the door to an
easy DoS attack. Since in a genuine retransmission the options should not be
different from the original, reusing the already computed state seems better.
The other point is - if there are timestamp options on the Request, they will
not be answered; which means that in the presence of retransmission (likely
due to loss and/or other problems), the use of Request/Response RTT sampling
is suspended, so that startup problems here do not propagate.

This patch removes two functions, the send_ack functions of request_sock,
which are not called/used by the DCCP code. It is correct that these
functions are not called, below is a justification why calling these
functions (on a passive socket in the LISTEN/RESPOND state) would mean
a DCCP protocol violation.
A) Background: using request_sock in TCP:
This will later be included in struct dccp_request_sock so that we can
have per connection feature negotiation state while in the 3way
handshake, when we clone the DCCP_ROLE_LISTEN socket (in
dccp_create_openreq_child) we'll just copy this state from
dreq_minisock to dccps_minisock.
Also the feature negotiation and option parsing code will mostly touch
dccps_minisock, which will simplify some stuff.

1. No need for ->ccid_init nor ->ccid_exit, this is what module_{init,exit}

2. Rename struct ccid to struct ccid_operations and introduce struct ccid
with a pointer to ccid_operations and rigth after it the rx or tx
private state.
3. Remove the pointer to the state of the half connections from struct
dccp_sock, now its derived thru ccid_priv() from the ccid pointer.
Now we also can implement the setsockopt for changing the CCID easily as
no ccid init routines can affect struct dccp_sock in any way that prevents
other CCIDs from working if a CCID switch operation is asked by apps.
