* [CCID3]: Fix a bug in the send time processingGerrit Renker2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet currently returns 0 when the time difference between current time and t_nom is less than 1000 microseconds. In this case the packet is sent immediately; but, unlike other packets that can be emitted on first attempt, it will not have its window counter updated and its options set as required. This is a bug. Fix: Require the time difference to be at least 1000 microseconds. The algorithm then converges: time differences > 1000 microseconds trigger the timer in dccp_write_xmit; after timer expiry this function is tried again; when the time difference is less than 1000, the packet will have its options added and window counter updated as required.

* [XFRM]: Allow packet drops during larval state resolution.David S. Miller2007-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the -EAGAIN buisness we had before. Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route. That works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules. We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in libc. With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default. This lays the framework to either: 1) Make this default at some point or... 2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of. The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we re-resolve the route and push the packets out. The packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved in a certain amount of time. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [DCCP]: Fix bug in the calculation of very low sending ratesGerrit Renker2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes an error in the calculation of t_ipi when X converges towards very low sending rates (between 1 and 64 bytes per second). Although this case may not sound likely, it can be reproduced by connecting, hitting enter (1 byte sent) and waiting for some time, during which the nofeedback timer halves the sending rate until finally it reaches the region 1..64 bytes/sec. Computing X is handled correctly (tested separately); but by dividing X _before_ entering the calculation of t_ipi, X becomes zero as a result. This in turn triggers a BUG condition caught in scaled_div(). Fixed by replacing with equivalent statement and explicit typecast for good measure. Calculation verified and effect of patch tested - reduced never below 1 byte per 64 seconds afterwards, i.e. not allowing divide-by-zero.

* [CCID3]: Use initial RTT sample from SYN exchangeGerrit Renker2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [CCID3]: Use MSS for larger initial windowsGerrit Renker2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [DCCP]: Remove ambiguity in the way before48 is usedGerrit Renker2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TX CCID needs the write_xmit_timer for delaying packet sends. Previously this timer was only activated on active (connecting) sockets. This patch initialises the write_xmit_timer in sync with the other timers, i.e. the timer will be ready on any socket. This is used by applications with a listening socket which start to stream after receiving an initiation by the client. The write_xmit_timer is stopped when the application closes, as before. Was tested to work and to remove the timer bug reported on dccp@vger. Also moved timer initialisation into timer.c (static).
