* [DCCP]: Use `unsigned' for packet lengthsGerrit Renker2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a suggestion by Ian McDonald and 1) Avoids tests against negative packet lengths by using unsigned int for packet payload lengths in the CCID send_packet()/packet_sent() routines 2) As a consequence, it removes an now unnecessary test with regard to `len > 0' in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent: that condition is always true, since * negative packet lengths are avoided * ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet flags an error whenever the payload length is 0. As a consequence, ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is never called as all errors returned by ccid_hc_tx_send_packet are caught in dccp_write_xmit 3) Removes the third argument of ccid_hc_tx_send_packet (the `len' parameter), since it is currently always set to skb->len. The code is updated with regard to this parameter change.

* [DCCP] ccid3: Larger initial windowsGerrit Renker2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements the larger-initial-windows feature for CCID 3, as described in section 5 of RFC 4342. When the first feedback packet arrives, the sender can send up to 2..4 packets per RTT, instead of just one. The patch further * reduces the number of timestamping calls by passing the timestamp value (which is computed in one of the calling functions anyway) as argument * renames one constant with a very long name into one which is shorter and resembles the one in RFC 3448 (t_mbi) * simplifies some of the min_t/max_t cases where both `x', `y' have the same type Commiter note: renamed TFRC_t_mbi to TFRC_T_MBI, to follow Linux coding style.

* [DCCP]: Tidy up unused structuresGerrit Renker2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes and cleans up unused variables and structures which have become unnecessary following the introduction of the EWMA patch to automatically track the CCID 3 receiver/sender packet sizes `s'. It deprecates the PACKET_SIZE socket option by returning an error code and printing a deprecation warning if an application tries to read or write this socket option.

* [DCCP] ccid3: Set NoFeedback Timeout according to RFC 3448Gerrit Renker2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | This corrects the setting of the nofeedback timer with regard to RFC 3448 - previously it was not set to max(4*R, 2*s/X) as specified. Using the maximum of 1 second as upper bound (as it was done before) can have detrimental effects, especially if R is small.

* [DCCP]: Remove allocation of sysctl numbersGerrit Renker2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is in response to a request sent earlier by Eric W. Biederman and replaces all sysctl numbers for net.dccp.default with CTL_UNNUMBERED. It has been tested to compile and to work.

* [DCCP] ccid3: Consolidate handling of t_RTOGerrit Renker2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch * removes setting t_RTO in ccid3_hc_tx_init (per [RFC 3448, 4.2], t_RTO is undefined until feedback has been received); * makes some trivial changes (updates of comments); * performs a small optimisation by exploiting that the feedback timeout uses the value of t_ipi. The way it is done is safe, because the timeouts appear after the changes to t_ipi, ensuring that up-to-date values are used; * in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, moves the t_rto statement closer to the calculation of the next_tmout. This makes the code clearer to read and is also safe, since t_rto is not updated until the next call of ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, and is not read by the functions called via ccid_wait_for_ccid(); * removes a `max' statement in sk_reset_timer, this is not needed since the timeout value is always greater than 1E6 microseconds. * adds `XXX'es to highlight that currently the nofeedback timer is set in a non-standard way Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Acked-by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

* [DCCP] ccid3: Consolidate timer resetsGerrit Renker2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch concerns updating the value of the nofeedback timer when no feedback has been received so far. Since in this case the value of R is still undefined according to [RFC 3448, 4.2], we can not perform step (3) of [RFC 3448, 4.3]. A clarification is provided in [RFC 4342, sec. 5], which states that in these cases the nofeedback timer (still) expires "after two seconds". Many thanks to Ian McDonald for pointing this out and providing the clarification.

* [DCCP] ccid3: Remove redundant statements in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sentGerrit Renker2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes a switch statement which is redundant since, * nothing is done in states TFRC_SSTATE_NO_SENT/TFRC_SSTATE_NO_FBACK * it is impossible that the function is called in the state TFRC_SSTATE_TERM, since --the function is called, in dccp_write_xmit, after ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet --if ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet is called in state TFRC_SSTATE_TERM, it returns -EINVAL, which means that ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent will not be called (compare dccp_write_xmit) --> therefore, this case is logically impossible * the remaining state is TFRC_SSTATE_FBACK which conditionally updates t_ipi, t_nom, and t_delta. This is a no-op, since --t_ipi only changes when feedback is received --however, when feedback arrives via ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, there is an identical code block which performs the same set of operations --performing the same set of operations again in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent therefore does not change anything, since between the time of receiving the last feedback (and therefore update of t_ipi, t_nom, and t_delta), the value of t_ipi has not changed --since t_ipi has not changed, the values of t_delta and t_nom also do not change, they depend fully on t_ipi Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Acked-by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>
* [DCCP] ccid3: Avoid congestion control on zero-sized data packetsGerrit Renker2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This resolves an `XXX' in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet(). The function is only called on Data and DataAck packets and returns a negative result on zero-sized messages. This is a reasonable policy since CCID 3 is a congestion-control module and congestion control on zero-sized Data(Ack) packets is in a way pathological. The patch uses a more suitable error code for this case, it returns the Posix.1 code `EBADMSG' ("Not a data message") instead of `ENOTCONN'. As a result of ignoring zero-sized packets, a the condition for a warning "First packet is data" in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is always satisfied; this message has been removed since it will always be printed.

| | | | | | | | | | | This patch performs a simplifying (performance) optimisation: In each call of the inline function ccid3_calc_new_t_ipi(), the state is tested against TFRC_SSTATE_NO_FBACK.

* [DCCP]: Add sysctls to control retransmission behaviourGerrit Renker2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>
* [DCCP]: Increment sequence numbers on retransmitted Response packetsGerrit Renker2006-12-03

* [DCCP]: Update comments on precisely which packets can be retransmittedGerrit Renker2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates program documentation: spell out precise conditions about which packets are eligible for retransmission (which is actually quite hard to extract from RFC 4340). It is based on the following table derived from RFC 4340: +-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+ | Type | Retransmit? | Remark | +-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+ | Request | in client-REQUEST state | sec. 8.1.1 | | Response | NEVER | SHOULD NOT, 8.1.3 | | Data | NEVER | unreliable protocol | | Ack | possible in client-PARTOPEN | sec. 8.1.5 | | DataAck | NEVER | unreliable protocol | | CloseReq | only in server-CLOSEREQ state | MUST, sec. 8.3 | | Close | in node-CLOSING state | MUST, sec. 8.3 | +-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+ | Reset | only in response to other packets | | Sync | only in response to sequence-invalid packets (7.5.4) | | SyncAck | only in response to Sync packets | +-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+ Hence the only packets eligible for retransmission are: * Requests in client-REQUEST state (sec. 8.1.1) * Acks in client-PARTOPEN state (sec. 8.1.5) * CloseReq in server-CLOSEREQ state (sec. 8.3) * Close in node-CLOSING state (sec. 8.3) I had meant to put in a check for these types too, but have left that for later.
