Since all feature-negotiation processing now takes place in feat.c,
functions for producing verbose debugging output are concentrated
there.
New functions to print out values, entry records, and options are
provided, and also a macro is defined to not always have the function
name in the output line.
Thanks a lot to Wei Yongjun and Giuseppe Galeota for help and
discussion with an earlier revision of this patch.

This patch takes care of initialising and type-checking sysctls
related to feature negotiation. Type checking is important since some
of the sysctls now directly impact the feature-negotiation process.
The sysctls are initialised with the known default values for each
feature. For the type-checking the value constraints from RFC 4340
are used:
* Sequence Window uses the specified Wmin=32, the maximum is ulong (4 bytes),
tested and confirmed that it works up to 4294967295 - for Gbps speed;
* Ack Ratio is between 0 .. 0xffff (2-byte unsigned integer);
* CCIDs are between 0 .. 255;
* request_retries, retries1, retries2 also between 0..255 for good measure;
* tx_qlen is checked to be non-negative;
* sync_ratelimit remains as before.
Notes:
------
1. Die s@sysctl_dccp_feat@sysctl_dccp@g since the sysctls are now in feat.c.
2. As pointed out by Arnaldo, the pattern of type-checking repeats itself in
other places, sometimes with exactly the same kind of definitions (e.g.
"static int zero;"). It may be a good idea (kernel janitors?) to consolidate
type checking. For the sake of keeping the changeset small and in order not
to affect other subsystems, I have not strived to generalise here.

This removes the use of the sysctl and the minisock variable for the Send Ack
Vector feature, as it now is handled fully dynamically via feature negotiation
(i.e. when CCID-2 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.
There was a FIXME to change the error code when dccp_ackvec_add() fails.
I removed this after finding out that:
* the check whether ackno < ISN is already made earlier,
* this Response is likely the 1st packet with an Ackno that the client gets,
* so when dccp_ackvec_add() fails, the reason is likely not a packet error.

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 uses 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.

This adds/replaces code for processing incoming ChangeL/R options.
The main difference is that:
* mandatory FN options are now interpreted inside the function
(there are too many individual cases to do this externally);
* the function returns an appropriate Reset code or 0,
which is then used to fill in the data for the Reset packet.

The patch implements insertion of feature negotiation at the server (listening
and request socket) and the client (connecting socket).
In dccp_insert_options(), several statements have been grouped together now
to achieve (it is hoped) better efficiency by reducing the number of tests
each packet has to go through:
- Ack Vectors are sent if the packet is neither a Data or a Request packet;
- a previous issue is corrected - feature negotiation options are allowed
on DataAck packets (5.8).

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.

This patch limits feature (capability) negotation to the connection setup phase:
1. Although it is theoretically possible to perform feature negotiation at any
time (and RFC 4340 supports this), in practice this is prohibitively complex,
as it requires to put traffic on hold for each new negotiation.
2. As a byproduct of restricting feature negotiation to connection setup, the
feature-negotiation retransmit timer is no longer required. This part is now
mapped onto the protocol-level retransmission.
Details indicating why timers are no longer needed can be found on
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/feature_negotiation/\
implementation_notes.html
This patch disables anytime negotiation, subsequent patches work out full
feature negotiation support for connection setup.

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.
The patch provides a new data structure and associated list housekeeping.
Only small changes were necessary to integrate with CCID-2: data structure
initialisation, adapt list traversal routine, and add call to the provided
cleanup routine.
The latter also lead to fixing the following BUG: CCID-2 so far ignored
Ack Vectors on all packets other than Ack/DataAck, which is incorrect,
since Ack Vectors can be present on any packet that has an Ack field.
Details:
--------
* received Ack Vectors are parsed by dccp_parse_options() alone, which passes
the result on to the CCID-specific routine ccid_hc_tx_parse_options();
* CCIDs interested in using/decoding Ack Vector information will add code
to fetch parsed Ack Vectors via this interface;
* a data structure, `struct dccp_ackvec_parsed' is provided as interface;
* this structure arranges Ack Vectors of the same skb into a FIFO order;
* a doubly-linked list is used to keep the required FIFO code small.

The problem with Ack Vectors is that
i) their length is variable and can in principle grow quite large,
ii) it is hard to predict exactly how large they will be.
Due to the second point it seems not a good idea to reduce the MPS; in
particular when on average there is enough room for the Ack Vector and an
increase in length is momentarily due to some burst loss, after which the
Ack Vector returns to its normal/average length.
The solution taken by this patch is to subtract a minimum-expected Ack Vector
length from the MPS (previous patch), and to defer any larger Ack Vectors onto
a separate Sync - but only if indeed there is no space left on the skb.
This patch provides the infrastructure to schedule Sync-packets for transporting
(urgent) out-of-band data. Its signalling is quicker than scheduling an Ack, since
it does not need to wait for new application data.
It can thus serve other parts of the DCCP code as well.

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).
Note: The older code performed an unnecessary step, where the sender cleared
Ack Vector state by parsing the Ack Vector received by the HC-receiver. Doing
this was entirely redundant, since
* the receiver always puts the full acknowledgment window (groups 2,3 in 11.4.2)
into the Ack Vectors it sends; hence the HC-receiver is only interested in the
highest state that the HC-sender received;
* this means that the acknowledgment number on the (Data)Ack from the HC-sender
is sufficient; and work done in parsing earlier state is not necessary, since
the later state subsumes the earlier one (see also RFC 4340, A.4).
This older interface (dccp_ackvec_parse()) is therefore removed.

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 lengthi 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.
Note on overflow handling:
-------------------------
The Ack Vector code previously simply started to drop packets when the
Ack Vector buffer overflowed. This means that the userspace application
will not be able to receive, only because of an Ack Vector storage problem.
Furthermore, overflow may be transient, so that applications may later
recover from the overflow. Recovering from dropped packets is more difficult
(e.g. video key frames).
Hence the patch uses a different policy: when the buffer overflows, the oldest
entries are subsequently overwritten. This has a higher chance of recovery.

* shifts option-specific code from ackvec.c into options.c;

This patch ...
1. adds packet type information to ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is
necessary, since table 3 in RFC 4340, 5.8 leaves it to the CCIDs to state
which options may (not) appear on what packet type.
2. adds such a check for CCID-3's {Loss Event, Receive} Rate as specified in
RFC 4340 8.3 ("Receive Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets")
and 8.5 ("Loss Event Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets").
3. removes an unused argument `idx' from ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This
is also no longer necessary, since the CCID-specific option-parsing routines
are passed every single parameter of the type-length-value option encoding.
Also added documentation and made argument naming scheme consistent.

1. The type byte of a multi-byte option is the last byte of the header
options (i.e. effective option length of 1).
2. The value of the length byte is less than the minimum 2. This has been
changed from previously 3: although no multi-byte option with a length
less than 3 yet exists (cf. table 3 in 5.8), a length of 2 is valid.
(The switch-statement in dccp_parse has further per-option length checks.)
3. The option length exceeds the length of the remaining option space.

RFC 4340, 7.7 specifies up to 6 bytes for the NDP Count option, whereas the code
is currently limited to up to 3 bytes. This seems to be a relict of an earlier
draft version and is brought up to date by the patch.

This fixes an oversight from an earlier patch, ensuring that Ack Vectors
are not processed on request sockets.
The issue is that Ack Vectors must not be parsed on request sockets, since
the Ack Vector feature depends on the selection of the (TX) CCID. During the
initial handshake the CCIDs are undefined, and so RFC 4340, 10.3 applies:
"Using CCID-specific options and feature options during a negotiation
for the corresponding CCID feature is NOT RECOMMENDED [...]"
And it is not even possible: when the server receives the Request from the
client, the CCID and Ack vector features are undefined; when the Ack finalising
the 3-way hanshake arrives, the request socket has not been cloned yet into a
full socket. (This order is necessary, since otherwise the newly created socket
would have to be destroyed whenever an option error occurred - a malicious
hacker could simply send garbage options and exploit this.)

This implements [RFC 4340, p. 32]: "any feature negotiation options received
on DCCP-Data packets MUST be ignored".
Also added a FIXME for further processing, since the code currently (wrongly)
classifies empty Confirm options as invalid - this needs to be resolved in
a separate patch.

This provides a separate routine to insert options during the initial handshake.
The main purpose is to conduct feature negotiation, for the moment the only user
is the timestamp echo needed for the (CCID3) handshake RTT sample.
Padding of options has been put into a small separate routine, to be shared among
the two functions. This could also be used as a generic routine to finish inserting
options.
Also removed an `XXX' comment since its content was obvious.

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).

The option parsing code currently only parses on full sk's. This causes a problem for
options sent during the initial handshake (in particular timestamps and feature-negotiation
options). Therefore, this patch extends the option parsing code with an additional argument
for request_socks: if it is non-NULL, options are parsed on the request socket, otherwise
the normal path (parsing on the sk) is used.
Subsequent patches, which implement feature negotiation during connection setup, make use
of this facility.

Small update with regard to RFC 4340 (references added as documentation):
on Requests, Ack Vectors / Elapsed Time should be ignored.
Length handling of Elapsed Time also simplified.

This
* removes a declaration of a non-existent function
__dccp_minisock_init;
* shifts the initialisation function dccp_minisock_init() from
options.c to minisocks.c, where it is more naturally expected to
be.

This provides a timesource, conveniently used for DCCP timestamps, which
returns the elapsed time in 10s of microseconds since initialisation.
This makes for a wrap-around time of about 11.9 hours, which should be
sufficient for most applications.
