2007-04-25[NETLINK]: Remove error pointer from netlink message handlerThomas Graf
The error pointer argument in netlink message handlers is used to signal the special case where processing has to be interrupted because a dump was started but no error happened. Instead it is simpler and more clear to return -EINTR and have netlink_run_queue() deal with getting the queue right. nfnetlink passed on this error pointer to its subsystem handlers but only uses it to signal the start of a netlink dump. Therefore it can be removed there as well. This patch also cleans up the error handling in the affected message handlers to be consistent since it had to be touched anyway.

2007-04-25[CCID3]: Use initial RTT sample from SYN exchangeGerrit Renker
The patch follows the following recommendation made in an erratum to RFC 4342: "Senders MAY additionally make use of other available RTT measurements, including those from the initial Request-Response packet exchange." It implements larger initial windows with regard to this inital RTT measurement, using the mechanism suggested in draft-ietf-dccp-rfc3448bis, section 4.2.

2007-04-25[DCCP]: Provide function for RTT samplingGerrit Renker
A recurring problem, in particular in the CCID code, is that RTT samples from packets with timestamp echo and elapsed time options need to be taken. This service is provided via a new function dccp_sample_rtt in this patch. Furthermore, to protect against `insane' RTT samples, the sampled value is bounded between 100 microseconds and 4 seconds - for which u32 is sufficient.

2007-04-25[CCID3]: Wrap computation of RFC3390-initial rate into separate functionGerrit Renker
The CCID 3 and TFRC specs (RFC 4342, RFC 3448, draft-3448bis) make frequent reference to the computation of the RFC-3390 initial sending rate: 1. Initial sending rate when RTT is known (RFC 4342, p. 6) 2. Response to Idle/Application-Limited periods (RFC 4342, 5.1) This warrants putting the code into its own function, for later code reuse.

2007-04-25[DCCP]: Always use debug-toggle parametersGerrit Renker
Currently debugging output (when configured) is automatically enabled when DCCP modules are compiled into the kernel rather than built as loadable modules. This is not necessary, since the module parameters in this case become kernel commandline parameters, e.g. DCCP or CCID3 debug output can be enabled for a static build by appending the following at the boot prompt: dccp.dccp_debug=1 dccp_ccid3.ccid3_debug=1 This patch therefore does away with the more complicated way of always enabling debug output for static builds Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-04-25[CCID3]: Remove race condition and update t_ipi when `s' changesGerrit Renker

2007-04-25[CCID3]: Use MSS for larger initial windowsGerrit Renker
This improves the slow-start phase by using the MSS (as suggested in RFC 4342, sec. 5) instead of the packet size s. Also figured out that __u32 is ample resource enough. After applying, I got the following in the logs: ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: client(f7421700), s=6, MSS=1424, w_init=4380, R_sample=176us, X=24886363 Had the previous variant been used, w_init would have been as low as 24.

2007-04-25[DCCP]: Remove ambiguity in the way before48 is usedGerrit Renker
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
2007-04-25[DCCP]: Fix for follows48Gerrit Renker
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.
