* V4L/DVB (10121): em28xx: remove worthless Pinnacle PCTV HD Mini 80e device ↵Devin Heitmueller2008-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | profile The Pinnacle 80e cannot be supported since Micronas yanked their driver support for the drx-j chipset at the last minute. Remove the device profile since it cannot work without the drx driver and it being there is only likely to confuse people into thinking the device is supported but not working.

| * | | dccp ccid-2: Phase out the use of boolean Ack Vector sysctlGerrit Renker2008-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * | | dccp: Remove manual influence on NDP Count featureGerrit Renker2008-12-08

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.

The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs. Also removed are 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).

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.

| * | | | | dccp: Query supported CCIDsGerrit Renker2008-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported and three accessor functions: - a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests made by the user; - a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation; - documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities. The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices). Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.
