The current CCID-2 RTT estimator code is in parts broken and lags behind the
suggestions in RFC2988 of using scaled variants for SRTT/RTTVAR. 
That code is replaced by the present patch, which reuses the Linux TCP RTT
estimator code - reasons for this code duplication are given below.

Further details:
----------------
 1. The minimum RTO of previously one second has been replaced with TCP's, since
    RFC4341, sec. 5 says that the minimum of 1 sec. (suggested in RFC2988, 2.4)
    is not necessary. Instead, the TCP_RTO_MIN is used, which agrees with DCCP's
    concept of a default RTT (RFC 4340, 3.4). 
 2. The maximum RTO has been set to DCCP_RTO_MAX (64 sec), which agrees with 
    RFC2988, (2.5). 
 3. De-inlined the function ccid2_new_ack().
 4. Added a FIXME: the RTT is sampled several times per Ack Vector, which will
    give the wrong estimate. It should be replaced with one sample per Ack.
    However, at the moment this can not be resolved easily, since     
    - it depends on TX history code (which also needs some work),
    - the cleanest solution is not to use the `sent' time at all (saves 4 bytes
      per entry) and use DCCP timestamps / elapsed time to estimated the RTT,
      which however is non-trivial to get right (but needs to be done).

Reasons for reusing the Linux TCP estimator algorithm:   
------------------------------------------------------
Some time was spent to find a better alternative, using basic RFC2988 as a first
step. Further analysis and experimentation showed that the Linux TCP RTO
estimator is superior to a basic RFC2988 implementation. A summary is on
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/ccid2/rto_estimator/

In addition, this estimator fared well in a recent empirical evaluation:

    A Performance Study of Loss Detection/Recovery in Real-world TCP
    Implementations. Proceedings of 15th IEEE International
    Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP-07). 2007.

Thus there is significant benefit in reusing the existing TCP code.

This patch replaces an almost identical replication of code: large parts
of dccp_parse_options() re-appeared as ccid2_ackvector() in ccid2.c.

Apart from the duplication, this caused two more problems:
 1. CCIDs should not need to be concerned with parsing header options;
 2. one can not assume that Ack Vectors appear as a contiguous area within an
    skb, it is legal to insert other options and/or padding in between. The
    current code would throw an error and stop reading in such a case.

The patch provides a new data structure and associated list housekeeping.

Only small changes were necessary to integrate with CCID-2: data structure
initialisation, adapt list traversal routine, and add call to the provided
cleanup routine.

The latter also lead to fixing the following BUG: CCID-2 so far ignored
Ack Vectors on all packets other than Ack/DataAck, which is incorrect,
since Ack Vectors can be present on any packet that has an Ack field.

Details:
--------
 * received Ack Vectors are parsed by dccp_parse_options() alone, which passes
   the result on to the CCID-specific routine ccid_hc_tx_parse_options();
 * CCIDs interested in using/decoding Ack Vector information will add code
   to fetch parsed Ack Vectors via this interface;
 * a data structure, `struct dccp_ackvec_parsed' is provided as interface;
 * this structure arranges Ack Vectors of the same skb into a FIFO order;
 * a doubly-linked list is used to keep the required FIFO code small.

This patch fixes two problems caused by the ubiquitous long "hctx->ccid2htx_"
and "hcrx->ccid2hcrx_" prefixes:
 * code becomes hard to read;
 * multiple-line statements are almost inevitable even for simple expressions;
The prefixes are not really necessary (compare with "struct tcp_sock").

There had been previous discussion of this on dccp@vger, but so far this was
not followed up (most people agreed that the prefixes are too long).

The code used two different variables to count Acks, one of them redundant.
This patch reduces the number of Ack counters to one.

The type of the Ack counter has also been changed to u32 (twice the range of int);
and the variable has been renamed into `packets_acked' - for consistency with
RFC 3465 (and similarly named variables are used by TCP and SCTP).

Lastly, a slightly less aggressive `maxincr' increment is used (for even Ack Ratios,
maxincr was Ack Ratio/2 + 1 instead of Ack Ratio/2).

This removes the synchronisation variable `ccid2hctx_sendwait', which is set to 1
when the CCID2 sender may send a new packet, and which is set to 0 otherwise

The variable is redundant, since it is only used in combination with the hc_tx_send_packet/
hc_tx_packet_sent function pair. Both functions are called under socket lock, so the
following happens when the CCID2 may send a new packet:

 * it sets sendwait = 1 in tx_send_packet and returns 0;
 * the subsequent call to tx_packet_sent clears the sendwait flag;
 * since tx_send_packet returns 0 if and only if sendwait == 1, the BUG_ON condition
   in tx_packet_sent is never satisfied, since that function is never called when
   tx_send_packet returns a value different from 0 (cf. dccp_write_xmit);
 * the call to tx_packet_sent clears the flag so that the condition "!sendwait" is
   true the next time tx_packet_sent is called.

In other words, it is sufficient to just return 0 / not-0 to synchronise tx_send_packet
and tx_packet_sent -- which is what the patch does.

The function ccid2_change_pipe only does an assignment. This patch simplifies the code by
replacing the function with the assignment it performs.

Furthermore, the type of pipe is promoted from `signed' to unsigned (increasing the range).
As a result, a BUG_ON test for negative values now becomes obsolete (for safety not removed,
but replaced with a less annoying `DCCP_BUG').

The current function ccid2_change_cwnd in effect makes only an assignment, as
the test whether cwnd has reached 0 is only required when cwnd is halved.

This patch simplifies the code by replacing the function with the assignment
it performs.

Furthermore, since ssthresh derives from cwnd and appears in many assignments and
comparisons, the type of ssthresh has also been changed to match that of cwnd.

This comments out a problematic section comprising a half-finished algorithm:

 - The variable `ccid2hctx_ackloss' is never initialised to a value different from 0 and
   hence in fact is a read-only constant.
 - The `arsent' variable counts packets other than Acks (it is incremented for every packet),
   and there is no test for Ack Loss.
 - The concept of counting Acks as such leads to a complex calculation, and the calculation
   at the moment is inconsistent with this concept.
   The problem is that the number of Acks - rather than the number of windows - is counted,
   which leads to a complex (cubic/quadratic) expression - this is not even implemented.

In its current state, the commented-out algorithm interfers with normal processing by
changing Ack Ratio incorrectly, and at the wrong times.

A new algorithm is necessary, which will not necessarily use the same variables as used by
the unfinished one; hence the old variables have been removed.

When multiple losses occur in one RTT, the window should be halved
only once [a single "congestion event"].  This is now implemented,
although not perfectly.  Slightly changed the interface for changing
the cwnd: pass hctx instead of dp.  This is required in order to allow
for change_cwnd to be called from _init().

Allocate more sequence state on demand.  Each time a packet is sent
out by CCID2, a record of it needs to be kept.  This list of records
grows proportionally to cwnd.  Previously, the length of this list was
hardcored and therefore the cwnd could only grow to this value (of
128).  Now, records are allocated on demand as necessary---cwnd may
grow as it wishes.  The exceptional case of when memory is not
available is not handled gracefully.  Perhaps, cwnd should be capped
at that point.

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.
