      dccp ccid-2: Stop polling · 1c0e0a05
      Gerrit Renker 提交于
      This updates CCID-2 to use the CCID dequeuing mechanism, converting from
      previous continuous-polling to a now event-driven mechanism.

      dccp: Refine the wait-for-ccid mechanism · b1fcf55e
      Gerrit Renker 提交于
      This extends the existing wait-for-ccid routine so that it may be used with
      different types of CCID, addressing the following problems:
      
       1) The queue-drain mechanism only works with rate-based CCIDs. If CCID-2 for
          example has a full TX queue and becomes network-limited just as the
          application wants to close, then waiting for CCID-2 to become unblocked
          could lead to an indefinite  delay (i.e., application "hangs").
       2) Since each TX CCID in turn uses a feedback mechanism, there may be changes
          in its sending policy while the queue is being drained. This can lead to
          further delays during which the application will not be able to terminate.
       3) The minimum wait time for CCID-3/4 can be expected to be the queue length
          times the current inter-packet delay. For example if tx_qlen=100 and a delay
          of 15 ms is used for each packet, then the application would have to wait
          for a minimum of 1.5 seconds before being allowed to exit.
       4) There is no way for the user/application to control this behaviour. It would
          be good to use the timeout argument of dccp_close() as an upper bound. Then
          the maximum time that an application is willing to wait for its CCIDs to can
          be set via the SO_LINGER option.
      
      These problems are addressed by giving the CCID a grace period of up to the
      `timeout' value.
      
      The wait-for-ccid function is, as before, used when the application
       (a) has read all the data in its receive buffer and
       (b) if SO_LINGER was set with a non-zero linger time, or
       (c) the socket is either in the OPEN (active close) or in the PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ
           state (client application closes after receiving CloseReq).
      
      In addition, there is a catch-all case of __skb_queue_purge() after waiting for
      the CCID. This is necessary since the write queue may still have data when
       (a) the host has been passively-closed,
       (b) abnormal termination (unread data, zero linger time),
       (c) wait-for-ccid could not finish within the given time limit.

      dccp: Extend CCID packet dequeueing interface · dc841e30
      Gerrit Renker 提交于
      This extends the packet dequeuing interface of dccp_write_xmit() to allow
       1. CCIDs to take care of timing when the next packet may be sent;
       2. delayed sending (as before, with an inter-packet gap up to 65.535 seconds).
      
      The main purpose is to take CCID-2 out of its polling mode (when it is network-
      limited, it tries every millisecond to send, without interruption).
      
      The mode of operation for (2) is as follows:
       * new packet is enqueued via dccp_sendmsg() => dccp_write_xmit(),
       * ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() detects that it may not send (e.g. window full),
       * it signals this condition via `CCID_PACKET_WILL_DEQUEUE_LATER',
       * dccp_write_xmit() returns without further action;
       * after some time the wait-condition for CCID becomes true,
       * that CCID schedules the tasklet,
       * tasklet function calls ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() via dccp_write_xmit(),
       * since the wait-condition is now true, ccid_hc_tx_packet() returns "send now",
       * packet is sent, and possibly more (since dccp_write_xmit() loops).
      
      Code reuse: the taskled function calls dccp_write_xmit(), the timer function
                  reduces to a wrapper around the same code.

      dccp: Return-value convention of hc_tx_send_packet() · fe84f414
      Gerrit Renker 提交于
      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-3/4 the
      maximum possible inter-packet gap is fixed at t_mbi = 64 sec.
