2008-09-04dccp: Return-value convention of hc_tx_send_packet()Gerrit Renker
This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches. Currently the convention is * values < 0 mean error, * a value == 0 means "send now", and * a value x > 0 means "send in x milliseconds". The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values. In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds, corresponding to 65.535 seconds. This is possible since in CCID-3 the maximum inter-packet gap is t_mbi = 64 sec. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp: Unused argument in CCID tx functionGerrit Renker
This removes the argument `more' from ccid_hc_tx_packet_sent, since it was nowhere used in the entire code. (Anecdotally, this argument was not even used in the original KAME code where the function originally came from; compare the variable moreToSend in the freebsd61-dccp-kame-28.08.2006.patch now maintained by Emmanuel Lochin.)

2008-09-04dccp: Add packet type information to CCID-specific option parsingGerrit Renker
This patch ... 1. adds packet type information to ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is necessary, since table 3 in RFC 4340, 5.8 leaves it to the CCIDs to state which options may (not) appear on what packet type. 2. adds such a check for CCID-3's {Loss Event, Receive} Rate as specified in RFC 4340 8.3 ("Receive Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets") and 8.5 ("Loss Event Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets"). 3. removes an unused argument `idx' from ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is also no longer necessary, since the CCID-specific option-parsing routines are passed every single parameter of the type-length-value option encoding. Also added documentation and made argument naming scheme consistent. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-09-04dccp: Auto-load (when supported) CCID plugins for negotiationGerrit Renker
This adds auto-loading of CCIDs (when module loading is enabled) for the purpose of feature negotiation. The problem with loading the CCIDs at the end of feature negotiation is that this would happen in software interrupt context. Besides, if the host advertises CCIDs during negotiation, it should have them ready to use, in case an agreeing peer wants to use it for the connection.

2008-09-04dccp: Remove obsolete parts of the old CCID interfaceGerrit Renker
The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of feature negotiation may be something different. The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs earlier in this patch set. Also removed 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).

2008-09-04dccp: API to query the current TX/RX CCIDGerrit Renker
This provides function to query the current TX/RX CCID dynamically, without reliance on the minisock value, using dynamic information available in the currently loaded CCID module. This query function is then used to (a) provide the getsockopt part for getting/setting CCIDs via sockopts; (b) replace the current test for "which CCID is in use" in probe.c.

2008-09-04dccp: Query supported CCIDsGerrit Renker
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. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Acked-by: Ian McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz>
2008-01-28[DCCP]: Introducing CCMPSGerrit Renker
This introduces a CCMPS field for setting a CCID-specific upper bound on the application payload size, as is defined in RFC 4340, section 14. Only the TX CCID is considered in setting this limit, since the RX CCID generates comparatively small (DCCP-Ack) feedback packets. The CCMPS field includes network and transport layer header lengths. The only current CCMPS customer is CCID4 (via RFC 4828). A wrapper is used to allow querying the CCMPS even at times where the CCID modules may not have been fully negotiated yet. In dccp_sync_mss() the variable `mss_now' has been renamed into `cur_mps', to reflect that we are dealing with an MPS, but not an MSS. Since the DCCP code closely follows the TCP code, the identifiers `dccp_sync_mss' and `dccps_mss_cache' have been kept, as they have direct TCP counterparts.

2006-12-11[DCCP] ccid: Deprecate ccid_hc_tx_insert_optionsGerrit Renker
The function ccid3_hc_tx_insert_options only does a redundant no-op, as the operation DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_ccval = hctx->ccid3hctx_last_win_count; is already performed _unconditionally_ in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet. Since there is further no current need for this function, it is removed entirely. Since furthermore, there is actually no present need for the entire interface function ccid_hc_tx_insert_options, it was decided to remove it also, to clean up the interface.

2006-12-02[DCCP]: Use `unsigned' for packet lengthsGerrit Renker
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.

2006-03-20[DCCP] CCID: Improve CCID infrastructureArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
1. No need for ->ccid_init nor ->ccid_exit, this is what module_{init,exit} does and anynways neither ccid2 nor ccid3 were using it. 2. Rename struct ccid to struct ccid_operations and introduce struct ccid with a pointer to ccid_operations and rigth after it the rx or tx private state. 3. Remove the pointer to the state of the half connections from struct dccp_sock, now its derived thru ccid_priv() from the ccid pointer. Now we also can implement the setsockopt for changing the CCID easily as no ccid init routines can affect struct dccp_sock in any way that prevents other CCIDs from working if a CCID switch operation is asked by apps.

2006-01-03[INET_SOCK]: Move struct inet_sock & helper functions to net/inet_sock.hArnaldo Carvalho de Melo

2005-08-29[DCCP]: Introduce dccp_get_infoArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
And also hc_tx and hc_rx get_info functions for the CCIDs to fill in information that is specific to them. For now reusing struct tcp_info, later I'll try to figure out a better solution, for now its really nice to get this kind of info: [root@qemu ~]# ./ss -danemi State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Addr:Port Peer Addr:Port LISTEN 0 0 *:5001 *:* ino:628 sk:c1340040 mem:(r0,w0,f0,t0) cwnd:0 ssthresh:0 ESTAB 0 0 172.20.0.2:5001 172.20.0.1:32785 ino:629 sk:c13409a0 mem:(r0,w0,f0,t0) ts rto:1000 rtt:0.004/0 cwnd:0 ssthresh:0 rcv_rtt:61.377 This, for instance, shows that we're not congestion controlling ACKs, as the above output is in the ttcp receiving host, and ttcp is a one way app, i.e. the received never calls sendmsg, so ccid_hc_tx_send_packet is never called, so the TX half connection stays in TFRC_SSTATE_NO_SENT state and hctx_rtt is never calculated, stays with the value set in ccid3_hc_tx_init, 4us, as show above in milliseconds (0.004ms), upcoming patches will fix this. rcv_rtt seems sane tho, matching ping results :-) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
