      dccp: Initialisation and type-checking of feature sysctls · 0a482267
      Gerrit Renker authored
      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 act on 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.
      
      Further changes:
      ----------------
      Performed s@sysctl_dccp_feat@sysctl_dccp@g since the sysctls are now in feat.c.

      dccp: Initialisation framework for feature negotiation · 5d3dac26
      Gerrit Renker authored
      This initialises feature negotiation from two tables, which are initialised
      from sysctls. 
      
      As a novel feature, specifics of the implementation (e.g. currently short
      seqnos and ECN are not supported) are advertised for robustness.

      dccp: Processing Confirm options · d2150b7b
      Gerrit Renker authored
      Analogous to the previous patch, this adds code to interpret incoming Confirm
      feature-negotiation options. Both functions operate on the feature-negotiation
      list of either the request_sock (server) or the dccp_sock (client).
      
      Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing out that it is overly restrictive to check
      the entire list of confirmed SP values.

      dccp: Process incoming Change feature-negotiation options · 5a146b97
      Gerrit Renker authored
      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.
      
      Old code, which is no longer used or referenced, has been removed.

      dccp: Header option insertion routine for feature-negotiation · cf9ddf73
      Gerrit Renker authored
      The patch extends existing code:
       * Confirm options divide into the confirmed value plus an optional preference
         list for SP values. Previously only the preference list was echoed for SP
         values, now the confirmed value is added as per RFC 4340, 6.1;
       * length and sanity checks are added to avoid illegal memory (or NULL) access.

      dccp: Increase the scope of variable-length htonl/ntohl functions · b9aaac1c
      Gerrit Renker authored
      This extends the scope of two available functions, encode|decode_value_var,
      to work up to 6 (8) bytes, to match maximum requirements in the RFC.
      
      These functions are going to be used both by general option processing and 
      feature negotiation code, hence declarations have been put into feat.h.

      dccp: Set per-connection CCIDs via socket options · fade756f
      Gerrit Renker authored
      With this patch, TX/RX CCIDs can now be changed on a per-connection basis, which
      overrides the defaults set by the global sysctl variables for TX/RX CCIDs.
      
      To make full use of this facility, the remaining patches of this patch set are
      needed, which track dependencies and activate negotiated feature values.
      
      Note on the maximum number of CCIDs that can be registered:
      -----------------------------------------------------------
      The maximum number of CCIDs that can be registered on the socket is constrained
      by the space in a Confirm/Change feature negotiation option. 
      
      The space in these in turn depends on the size of header options as defined
      in RFC 4340, 5.8. Since this is a recurring constant, it has been moved from
      ackvec.h into linux/dccp.h, clarifying its purpose.
      
      Relative to this size, the maximum number of CCID identifiers that can be 
      present in a Confirm option (which always consumes 1 byte more than a Change
      option, cf. 6.1) is 2 bytes less than the maximum TLV size: one for the
      CCID-feature-type and one for the selected value.

      dccp: Deprecate old setsockopt framework · 668144f7
      Gerrit Renker authored
      The previous setsockopt interface, which passed socket options via struct 
      dccp_so_feat, is complicated/difficult to use. Continuing to support it leads to
      ugly code since the old approach did not distinguish between NN and SP values.
      
      This patch removes the old setsockopt interface and replaces it with two new
      functions to register NN/SP values for feature negotiation. These are 
      essentially wrappers around the internal __feat_register functions, with 
      checking added to avoid
       * wrong usage (type);
       * changing values while the connection is in progress.

      dccp: Registration routines for changing feature values · 86349c8d
      Gerrit Renker authored
      Two registration routines, for SP and NN features, are provided by this patch,
      replacing a previous routine which was used for both feature types.
      
      These are internal-only routines and therefore start with `__feat_register'.
      
      It further exports the known limits of Sequence Window and Ack Ratio as symbolic
      constants.

      dccp: Basic data structure for feature negotiation · 5c7c9451
      Gerrit Renker authored
      This patch prepares for the new and extended feature-negotiation routines.
      
      The following feature-negotiation data structures are provided:
      	* a container for the various (SP or NN) values,
      	* symbolic state names to track feature states,
      	* an entry struct which holds all current information together,
      	* elementary functions to fill in and process these structures.
      
      Entry structs are arranged as FIFO for the following reason: RFC 4340 specifies
      that if multiple options of the same type are present, they are processed in the
      order of their appearance in the packet; which means that this order needs to be
      preserved in the local data structure (the later insertion code also respects
      this order).
      
      The struct list_head has been chosen for the following reasons: the most 
      frequent operations are
       * add new entry at tail (when receiving Change or setting socket options);
       * delete entry (when Confirm has been received);
       * deep copy of entire list (cloning from listening socket onto request socket).
      
      The NN value has been set to 64 bit, which is a currently sufficient upper limit
      (Sequence Window feature has 48 bit).

      [DCCP]: Add sysctls to control retransmission behaviour · 2e2e9e92
      Gerrit Renker authored
      This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control
      packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation).
      
      It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code.
      
      The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised
      not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values.
      This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet.
      
      Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit
      the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries
      (also a bit like in TCP).
      
      Lastly, added documentation of all existing DCCP sysctls.

      [DCCP]: Fix default sequence window size · 4b79f0af

      When using the default sequence window size (100) I got the following in

      S.SWH(6279674324)) and (P.ackno doesn't exist or LAWL(18798206530) <=
      P.ackno(1125899906842620) <= S.AWH(18798206549), sending SYNC...
      
      I went to alter the default sysctl and it didn't take for new sockets.
      Below patch fixes this.
      
      I think the default is too low but it is what the DCCP spec specifies.
      
      As a side effect of this my rx speed using iperf goes from about 2.8 Mbits/sec
      to 3.5. This is still far too slow but it is a step in the right direction.
      
      Compile tested only for IPv6 but not particularly complex change.
