Since CCIDs are only used during the established phase of a connection,
they have very little internal state; this specifically reduces to:

 * "no packet sent" if and only if s == 0, for the TX packet size s;

 * when the first packet has been sent (i.e. `s' > 0), the question is whether
   or not feedback has been received:
   - if a feedback packet is received, "feedback = yes" is set,
   - if the nofeedback timer expires,  "feedback = no"  is set.

Thus the CCID only needs to remember state about whether or not feedback
has been received. This is now implemented using a boolean flag, which is
toggled when a feedback packet arrives or the nofeedback timer expires.

The DCCP base time resolution is 10 microseconds (RFC 4340, 13.1 ... 13.3).

Using a timer with a lower resolution was found to trigger the following
bug warnings/problems on high-speed networks (e.g. local loopback):
 * RTT samples are rounded down to 0 if below resolution;
 * in some cases, negative RTT samples were observed;
 * the CCID-3 feedback timer complains that the feedback interval is 0,
   since the feedback interval is in the order of 1 RTT or less and RTT
   measurement rounded this down to 0;
On an Intel computer this will for instance happen when using a
boot-time parameter of "clocksource=jiffies".

The following system log messages were observed:
  11:24:00 kernel: BUG: delta (0) <= 0 at ccid3_hc_rx_send_feedback()
  11:26:12 kernel: BUG: delta (0) <= 0 at ccid3_hc_rx_send_feedback()
  11:26:30 kernel: dccp_sample_rtt: unusable RTT sample 0, using min
  11:26:30 last message repeated 5 times

This patch defines a global constant for the time resolution, adds this in
timer.c, and checks the available clock resolution at CCID-3 module load time.

When the resolution is worse than 10 microseconds, module loading exits with
a message "socket type not supported".

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.

This patch is thanks to an investigation by Leandro Sales de Melo and his
colleagues. They worked out two state diagrams which highlight the fact that
the xxx_TERM states in CCID-3/4 are in fact not necessary.

And this can be confirmed by in turn looking at the code: the xxx_TERM states
are only ever set in ccid3_hc_{rx,tx}_exit(). These two functions are part
of the following call chain:

 * ccid_hc_{tx,rx}_exit() are called from ccid_delete() only;
 * ccid_delete() invokes ccid_hc_{tx,rx}_exit() in the way of a destructor:
   after calling ccid_hc_{tx,rx}_exit(), the CCID is released from memory;
 * ccid_delete() is in turn called only by ccid_hc_{tx,rx}_delete();
 * ccid_hc_{tx,rx}_delete() is called only if 
   - feature negotiation failed   (dccp_feat_activate_values()),
   - when changing the RX/TX CCID (to eject the current CCID),
   - when destroying the socket   (in dccp_destroy_sock()).

In other words, when CCID-3 sets the state to xxx_TERM, it is at a time where
no more processing should be going on, hence it is not necessary to introduce
a dedicated exit state - this is implicit when unloading the CCID.

The patch removes this state, one switch-statement collapses as a result.

The `options_received' struct is redundant, since it re-duplicates the existing
`p' and `x_recv' fields. This patch removes the sub-struct and migrates the
format conversion operations (cf. below) to ccid3_hc_tx_parse_options().

                     Why the fields are redundant
                     ----------------------------
The Loss Event Rate p and the Receive Rate x_recv are initially 0 when first 
loading CCID-3, as ccid_new() zeroes out the entire ccid3_hc_tx_sock. 

When Loss Event Rate or Receive Rate options are received, they are stored by
ccid3_hc_tx_parse_options() into the fields `ccid3or_loss_event_rate' and
`ccid3or_receive_rate' of the sub-struct `options_received' in ccid3_hc_tx_sock.

After parsing (considering only the established state - dccp_rcv_established()),
the packet is passed on to ccid_hc_tx_packet_recv(). This calls the CCID-3
specific routine ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv(), which performs the following copy
operations between fields of ccid3_hc_tx_sock:

 * hctx->options_received.ccid3or_receive_rate is copied into hctx->x_recv,
   after scaling it for fixpoint arithmetic, by 2^64;
 * hctx->options_received.ccid3or_loss_event_rate is copied into hctx->p,
   considering the above special cases; in addition, a value of 0 here needs to
   be mapped into p=0 (when no Loss Event Rate option has been received yet).
Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

This adds a function to take care of the following cases occurring in the
computation of the Loss Rate p:

 * 1/(2^32-1) is mapped into 0% as per RFC 4342, 8.5;
 * 1/0        is mapped into the maximum of 100%;
 * we want to avoid that p = 1/x is rounded down to 0 when x is very large,
   since this means accidentally re-entering slow-start (indicated by p==0).

In the last case, the minimum-resolution value of p is returned.

Furthermore, a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed (1/0 was mapped into ~0U),
which now allows to consistently print the scaled p-values as

        printf("Loss Event Rate = %u.%04u %%\n", rx_info.tfrcrx_p / 10000, 
                                                 rx_info.tfrcrx_p % 10000);

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.

This simplifies and consolidates the TX option-parsing code:

 1. The Loss Intervals option is not currently used, so dead code related to
    this option is removed. I am aware of no plans to support the option, but
    if someone wants to implement it (e.g. for inter-op tests), it is better
    to start afresh than having to also update currently unused code.

 2. The Loss Event and Receive Rate options have a lot of code in common (both
    are 32 bit, both have same length etc.), so this is consolidated.

 3. The test against GSR is not necessary, because
    - on first loading CCID3, ccid_new() zeroes out all fields in the socket; 
    - ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv() treats 0 and ~0U equivalently, due to

	pinv = opt_recv->ccid3or_loss_event_rate;
	if (pinv == ~0U || pinv == 0)
		hctx->p = 0;

    - as a result, the sequence number field is removed from opt_recv.

This removes the RTT-sampling function tfrc_tx_hist_rtt(), since

 1. it suffered from complex passing of return values (the return value both
    indicated successful lookup while the value doubled as RTT sample);

 2. when for some odd reason the sample value equalled 0, this triggered a bug
    warning about "bogus Ack", due to the ambiguity of the return value;

 3. on a passive host which has not sent anything the TX history is empty and
    thus will lead to unwanted "bogus Ack" warnings such as
    ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-28197148
    ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-26641606.

The fix is to replace the implicit encoding by performing the steps manually.					       

Furthermore, the "bogus Ack" warning has been removed, since it can actually be
triggered due to several reasons (network reordering, old packet, (3) above),
hence it is not very useful.

This fixes a subtle bug in the calculation of the inter-packet gap and shows
that t_delta, as it is currently used, is not needed. And hence replaced.

The algorithm from RFC 3448, 4.6 below continually computes a send time t_nom,
which is initialised with the current time t_now; t_gran = 1E6 / HZ specifies
the scheduling granularity, s the packet size, and X the sending rate:

  t_distance = t_nom - t_now;		// in microseconds
  t_delta    = min(t_ipi, t_gran) / 2;	// `delta' parameter in microseconds

  if (t_distance >= t_delta) {
	reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;
  } else {
  	t_ipi  = s / X;			// inter-packet interval in usec
	t_nom += t_ipi;			// compute the next send time
	send packet now;
  }


1) Description of the bug
-------------------------
Rescheduling requires a conversion into milliseconds, due to this call chain:

 * ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet() returns a timeout in milliseconds,
 * this value is converted by msecs_to_jiffies() in dccp_write_xmit(),
 * and finally used as jiffy-expires-value for sk_reset_timer().

The highest jiffy resolution with HZ=1000 is 1 millisecond, so using a higher
granularity does not make much sense here.

As a consequence, values of t_distance < 1000 are truncated to 0. This issue 
has so far been resolved by using instead

  if (t_distance >= t_delta + 1000)
	reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;

The bug is in artificially inflating t_delta to t_delta' = t_delta + 1000. This
is unnecessarily large, a more adequate value is t_delta' = max(t_delta, 1000).


2) Consequences of using the corrected t_delta'
-----------------------------------------------
Since t_delta <= t_gran/2 = 10^6/(2*HZ), we have t_delta <= 1000 as long as
HZ >= 500. This means that t_delta' = max(1000, t_delta) is constant at 1000.

On the other hand, when using a coarse HZ value of HZ < 500, we have three
sub-cases that can all be reduced to using another constant of t_gran/2.

 (a) The first case arises when t_ipi > t_gran. Here t_delta' is the constant
     t_delta' = max(1000, t_gran/2) = t_gran/2.

 (b) If t_ipi <= 2000 < t_gran = 10^6/HZ usec, then t_delta = t_ipi/2 <= 1000,
     so that t_delta' = max(1000, t_delta) = 1000 < t_gran/2. 

 (c) If 2000 < t_ipi <= t_gran, we have t_delta' = max(t_delta, 1000) = t_ipi/2.

In the second and third cases we have delay values less than t_gran/2, which is
in the order of less than or equal to half a jiffy. 

How these are treated depends on how fractions of a jiffy are handled: they
are either always rounded down to 0, or always rounded up to 1 jiffy (assuming
non-zero values). In both cases the error is on average in the order of 50%.

Thus we are not increasing the error when in the second/third case we replace
a value less than t_gran/2 with 0, by setting t_delta' to the constant t_gran/2.


3) Summary
----------
Fixing (1) and considering (2), the patch replaces t_delta with a constant,
whose value depends on CONFIG_HZ, changing the above algorithm to:
 
  if (t_distance >= t_delta')
	reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;

where t_delta' = 10^6/(2*HZ) if HZ < 500, and t_delta' = 1000 otherwise.

The CCIDs are activated as last of the features, at the end of the handshake,
were the LISTEN state of the master socket is inherited into the server
state of the child socket. Thus, the only states visible to CCIDs now are
OPEN/PARTOPEN, and the closing states.

This allows to remove tests which were previously necessary to protect
against referencing a socket in the listening state (in CCID3), but which
now have become redundant.

As a further byproduct of enabling the CCIDs only after the connection has been
fully established, several typecast-initialisations of ccid3_hc_{rx,tx}_sock
can now be eliminated:
 * the CCID is loaded, so it is not necessary to test if it is NULL,
 * if it is possible to load a CCID and leave the private area NULL, then this
    is a bug, which should crash loudly - and earlier,
 * the test for state==OPEN || state==PARTOPEN now reduces only to the closing
   phase (e.g. when the node has received an unexpected Reset).

This fixes a bug in the logic of the TFRC loss detection:
 * new_loss_indicated() should not be called while a loss is pending;
 * but the code allows this;
 * thus, for two subsequent gaps in the sequence space, when loss_count
   has not yet reached NDUPACK=3, the loss_count is falsely reduced to 1.

To avoid further and similar problems, all loss handling and loss detection is
now done inside tfrc_rx_hist_handle_loss(), using an appropriate routine to
track new losses.

Further changes:
----------------
 * added a reminder that no RX history operations should be performed when
   rx_handle_loss() has identified a (new) loss, since the function takes
   care of packet reordering during loss detection;
 * made tfrc_rx_hist_loss_pending() bool (thanks to an earlier suggestion

In commit $(825de27d) (from 27th May, commit
message `dccp ccid-3: Fix "t_ipi explosion" bug'), the CCID-3 window counter
computation was fixed to cope with RTTs < 4 microseconds.

Such RTTs can be found e.g. when running CCID-3 over loopback. The fix removed
a check against RTT < 4, but introduced a divide-by-zero bug.

All steady-state RTTs in DCCP are filtered using dccp_sample_rtt(), which
ensures non-zero samples. However, a zero RTT is possible on initialisation,
when there is no RTT sample from the Request/Response exchange.

The fix is to use the fallback-RTT from RFC 4340, 3.4.

This is also better than just fixing update_win_count() since it allows other
parts of the code to always assume that the RTT is non-zero during the time
that the CCID is used.

The identification of this bug is thanks to Cheng Wei and Tomasz
Grobelny.

To avoid divide-by-zero, the implementation previously ignored RTTs
smaller than 4 microseconds when performing integer division RTT/4.

When the RTT reached a value less than 4 microseconds (as observed on
loopback), this prevented the Window Counter CCVal value from
advancing. As a result, the receiver stopped sending feedback. This in
turn caused non-ending expiries of the nofeedback timer at the sender,
so that the sending rate was progressively reduced until reaching the
minimum of one packet per 64 seconds.

The patch fixes this bug by handling integer division more
intelligently. Due to consistent use of dccp_sample_rtt(),
divide-by-zero-RTT is avoided.

This patch was based on another made by Gerrit Renker, his changelog was:

    ------------------------------------------------------
The patch set migrates TFRC TX history to a singly-linked list.

The details are:
 * use of a consistent naming scheme (all TFRC functions now begin with `tfrc_');
 * allocation and cleanup are taken care of internally;
 * provision of a lookup function, which is used by the CCID TX infrastructure
   to determine the time a packet was sent (in turn used for RTT sampling);
 * integration of the new interface with the present use in CCID3.
    ------------------------------------------------------

Simplifications I did:

. removing the tfrc_tx_hist_head that had a pointer to the list head and
  another for the slabcache.
. No need for creating a slabcache for each CCID that wants to use the TFRC
  tx history routines, create a single slabcache when the dccp_tfrc_lib module
  init routine is called.

The moving average computation occurs so frequently in the CCID 3 code that
it merits an inline function  of its own. This is uses a suggestion by

This fixes/updates the handling of idle and application-limited periods in CCID3,
which currently is broken: there is no detection as to how long a sender has been
idle - there is only one flag which is toggled in between function calls.

Being obsolete now, the `idle' flag is removed.

This patch fixes a previously undiscovered bug; the problem is in computing
the elapsed time as the time between `receiving' the packet (i.e. skb enters
CCID module) and sending feedback:

     - there is no layer-processing, queueing, or delay involved,
     - hence the elapsed time is in the order of 1 function call
     - this is in the dimension of maximally 50..100usec
     - which renders the use of elapsed time almost entirely useless.

The fix is simply to ignore such trivial amounts of elapsed time.

As a further advantage, the now useless elapsed_time field can be removed from
the socket, which reduces the socket structure by another four bytes.

This updates the CCID3 code with regard to two instances of using `MSS' in place of `s':

 1. The RFC3390-based initial rate: both rfc3448bis as well as the Faster Restart
    draft now consistently use `s' instead of MSS.

 2. Now agrees with section 4.2 of rfc3448bis: "If the sender is ready to send data when
    it does not yet have a round trip sample, the value of X is set to s bytes per
    second, for segment size s [...]"

Many-many code in the kernel initialized the timer->function
and  timer->data together with calling init_timer(timer). There
is already a helper for this. Use it for networking code.

The patch is HUGE, but makes the code 130 lines shorter
(98 insertions(+), 228 deletions(-)).
