This patch deprecates the existing use of an arbitrary value TFRC_SMALLEST_P for low-threshold values of p. This avoids masking low-resolution errors. Instead, the code now checks against real boundaries (implemented by preceding patch) and provides warnings whenever a real value falls below the threshold. If such messages are observed, it is a better solution to take this as an indication that the lookup table needs to be re-engineered. Changelog: ---------- This patch * makes handling all TFRC resolution errors local to the TFRC library * removes unnecessary test whether X_calc is 'infinity' due to p==0 -- this condition is already caught by tfrc_calc_x() * removes setting ccid3hctx_p = TFRC_SMALLEST_P in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv since this is now done by the TFRC library * updates BUG_ON test in ccid3_hc_tx_no_feedback_timer to take into account that p now is either 0 (and then X_calc is irrelevant), or it is > 0; since the handling of TFRC_SMALLEST_P is now taken care of in the tfrc library Justification: -------------- The TFRC code uses a lookup table which has a bounded resolution. The lowest possible value of the loss event rate `p' which can be resolved is currently 0.0001. Substituting this lower threshold for p when p is less than 0.0001 results in a huge, exponentially-growing error. The error can be computed by the following formula: (f(0.0001) - f(p))/f(p) * 100 for p < 0.0001 Currently the solution is to use an (arbitrary) value TFRC_SMALLEST_P = 40 * 1E-6 = 0.00004 and to consider all values below this value as `virtually zero'. Due to the exponentially growing resolution error, this is not a good idea, since it hides the fact that the table can not resolve practically occurring cases. Already at p == TFRC_SMALLEST_P, the error is as high as 58.19%!

This * adds documentation about the lowest resolution that is possible within the bounds of the current lookup table * defines a constant TFRC_SMALLEST_P which defines this resolution * issues a warning if a given value of p is below resolution * combines two previously adjacent if-blocks of nearly identical structure into one This patch does not change the algorithm as such.

1) For the forward X_calc lookup, it * protects effectively against RTT=0 (this case is possible), by returning the maximal lookup value instead of just setting it to 1 * reformulates the array-bounds exceeded condition: this only happens if p is greater than 1E6 (due to the scaling) * the case of negative indices can now with certainty be excluded, since documentation shows that the formulas are within bounds * additional protection against p = 0 (would give divide-by-zero) 2) For the reverse lookup, it warns against * protects against exceeding array bounds * now returns 0 if f(p) = 0, due to function definition * warns about minimal resolution error and returns the smallest table value instead of p=0 [this would mask congestion conditions] Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Acked-by: NIan McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by: NArnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

This fixes the following small error in tfrc_calc_x_reverse_lookup. 1) The table is generated by the following equations: lookup[index][0] = g((index+1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE); lookup[index][1] = g((index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE); where g(q) is 1E6 * f(q/1E6) 2) The reverse lookup assigns an entry in lookup[index][small] 3) This index needs to match the above, i.e. * if small=0 then p = (index + 1) * 1000000/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE * if small=1 then p = (index+1) * TFRC_CALC_X_SPLIT/TFRC_CALC_X_ARRSIZE These are exactly the changes that the patch makes; previously the code did not conform to the way the lookup table was generated (this difference resulted in a mean error of about 1.12%).

This adds documentation for the TCP Reno throughput equation which is at the heart of the TFRC sending rate / loss rate calculations. It spells out precisely how the values were determined and what they mean. The equations were derived through reverse engineering and found to be fully accurate (verified using test programs).

This avoids a (harmless) warning message being printed at the DCCP server (the receiver of a DCCP half connection). Incoming packets are both directed to * ccid_hc_rx_packet_recv() for the server half * ccid_hc_tx_packet_recv() for the client half The message gets printed since on a server the client half is currently not sending data packets. This is resolved for the moment by checking the DCCP-role first. In future times (bidirectional DCCP connections), this test may have to be more sophisticated.

The main object of this patch is the following bug: ==> In ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, the parameters p and X_recv were updated _after_ the send rate was calculated. This is clearly an error and is resolved by re-ordering statements. In addition, * r_sample is converted from u32 to long to check whether the time difference was negative (it would otherwise be converted to a large u32 value) * protection against RTT=0 (this is possible) is provided in a further patch * t_elapsed is also converted to long, to match the type of r_sample * adds a a more debugging information regarding current send rates * various trivial comment/documentation updates Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Acked-by: NIan McDonald <ian.mcdonald@jandi.co.nz> Signed-off-by: NArnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

This bug resulted in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet returning negative delay values, which in turn triggered silently dequeueing packets in dccp_write_xmit. As a result, only a few out of the submitted packets made it at all onto the network. Occasionally, when dccp_wait_for_ccid was involved, this also triggered a bug warning since ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet returned a negative value (which in reality was a negative delay value). The cause for this bug lies in the comparison if (delay >= hctx->ccid3hctx_delta) return delay / 1000L; The type of `delay' is `long', that of ccid3hctx_delta is `u32'. When comparing negative long values against u32 values, the test returned `true' whenever delay was smaller than 0 (meaning the packet was overdue to send). The fix is by casting, subtracting, and then testing the difference with regard to 0. This has been tested and shown to work.

The TFRC nofeedback timer normally expires after the maximum of 4 RTTs and twice the current send interval (RFC 3448, 4.3). On LANs with a small RTT this can mean a high processing load and reduced performance, since then the nofeedback timer is triggered very frequently. This patch provides a configuration option to set the bound for the nofeedback timer, using as default 100 milliseconds. By setting the configuration option to 0, strict RFC 3448 behaviour can be enforced for the nofeedback timer.

Some helpers (namely H.323) manually assign further helpers to expected connections. This is not possible with nf_conntrack anymore since we need to know whether a helper is used at allocation time. Handle the helper assignment centrally, which allows to perform the correct allocation and as a nice side effect eliminates the need for the H.323 helper to fiddle with nf_conntrack_lock. Mid term the allocation scheme really needs to be redesigned since we do both the helper and expectation lookup _twice_ for every new connection.
