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.

Two registration routines, for SP and NN features, are provided by this patch, replacing a previous routine which was used for both feature types. These are internal-only routines and therefore start with `__feat_register'. It further exports the known limits of Sequence Window and Ack Ratio as symbolic constants.

This patch limits feature (capability) negotation to the connection setup phase: 1. Although it is theoretically possible to perform feature negotiation at any time (and RFC 4340 supports this), in practice this is prohibitively complex, as it requires to put traffic on hold for each new negotiation. 2. As a byproduct of restricting feature negotiation to connection setup, the feature-negotiation retransmit timer is no longer required. This part is now mapped onto the protocol-level retransmission. Details indicating why timers are no longer needed can be found on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/feature_negotiation/\ implementation_notes.html This patch disables anytime negotiation, subsequent patches work out full feature negotiation support for connection setup.

This patch prepares for the new and extended feature-negotiation routines. The following feature-negotiation data structures are provided: * a container for the various (SP or NN) values, * symbolic state names to track feature states, * an entry struct which holds all current information together, * elementary functions to fill in and process these structures. Entry structs are arranged as FIFO for the following reason: RFC 4340 specifies that if multiple options of the same type are present, they are processed in the order of their appearance in the packet; which means that this order needs to be preserved in the local data structure (the later insertion code also respects this order). The struct list_head has been chosen for the following reasons: the most frequent operations are * add new entry at tail (when receiving Change or setting socket options); * delete entry (when Confirm has been received); * deep copy of entire list (cloning from listening socket onto request socket). The NN value has been set to 64 bit, which is a currently sufficient upper limit (Sequence Window feature has 48 bit). Thanks to Arnaldo, who contributed the streamlined layout of the entry struct.

This implements [RFC 3448, 4.5], which performs congestion avoidance behaviour by reducing the transmit rate as the queueing delay (measured in terms of long-term RTT) increases. Oscillation can be turned on/off via a module option (do_osc_prev) and via sysfs (using mode 0644), the default is off. Overflow analysis: ------------------ * oscillation prevention is done after update_x(), so that t_ipi <= 64000; * hence the multiplication "t_ipi * sqrt(R_sample)" needs 64 bits; * done using u64 for sqrt_sample and explicit typecast of t_ipi; * the divisor, R_sqmean, is non-zero because oscillation prevention is first called when receiving the second feedback packet, and tfrc_scaled_rtt() > 0. A detailed discussion of the algorithm (with plots) is on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/ccid3/sender_notes/oscillation_prevention/ The algorithm has negative side effects: * when allowing to decrease t_ipi (leads to a large RTT) and * when using it during slow-start; both uses are therefore disabled.

This patch simplifies the computation of t_ipi, avoiding expensive computations to enforce the minimum sending rate. Both RFC 3448 and rfc3448bis (revision #06), as well as RFC 4342 sec 5., require at various stages that at least one packet must be sent per t_mbi = 64 seconds. This requires frequent divisions of the type X_min = s/t_mbi, which are later converted back into an inter-packet-interval t_ipi_max = s/X_min = t_mbi. The patch removes the expensive indirection; in the unlikely case of having a sending rate less than one packet per 64 seconds, it also re-adjusts X. The following cases document conformance with RFC 3448 / rfc3448bis-06: 1) Time until receiving the first feedback packet: * if the sender has no initial RTT sample then X = s/1 Bps > s/t_mbi; * if the sender has an initial RTT sample or when the first feedback packet is received, X = W_init/R > s/t_mbi. 2) Slow-start (p == 0 and feedback packets come in): * RFC 3448 (current code) enforces a minimum of s/R > s/t_mbi; * rfc3448bis (future code) enforces an even higher minimum of W_init/R. 3) Congestion avoidance with no absence of feedback (p > 0): * when X_calc or X_recv/2 are too low, the minimum of X_min = s/t_mbi is enforced in update_x() when calling update_send_interval(); * update_send_interval() is, as before, only called when X changes (i.e. either when increasing or decreasing, not when in equilibrium). 4) Reduction of X without prior feedback or during slow-start (p==0): * both RFC 3448 and rfc3448bis here halve X directly; * the associated constraint X >= s/t_mbi is nforced here by send_interval(). 5) Reduction of X when p > 0: * X is modified indirectly via X_recv (RFC 3448) or X_recv_set (rfc3448bis); * in both cases, control goes back to section 4.3 (in both documents); * since p > 0, both documents use X = max(min(...), s/t_mbi), which is enforced in this patch by calling send_interval() from update_x(). I think that this analysis is exhaustive. Should I have forgotten a case, the worst-case consideration arises when X sinks below s/t_mbi, and is then increased back up to this minimum value. Even under this assumption, the behaviour is correct, since all lower limits of X in RFC 3448 / rfc3448bis are either equal to or greater than s/t_mbi. Note on the condition X >= s/t_mbi <==> t_ipi = s/X <= t_mbi: since X is scaled by 64, and all time units are in microseconds, the coded condition is: t_ipi = s * 64 * 10^6 usec / X <= 64 * 10^6 usec This simplifies to s / X <= 1 second <==> X * 1 second >= s > 0. (A zero `s' is not allowed by the CCID-3 code). Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

rfc3448bis allows three different ways of tracking the packet size `s': 1. using the MSS/MPS (at initialisation, 4.2, and in 4.1 (1)); 2. using the average of `s' (in 4.1); 3. using the maximum of `s' (in 4.2). Instead of hard-coding a single interpretation of rfc3448bis, this implements a choice of all three alternatives and suggests the first as default, since it is the option which is most consistent with other parts of the specification. The patch further deprecates the update of t_ipi whenever `s' changes. The gains of doing this are only small since a change of s takes effect at the next instant X is updated: * when the next feedback comes in (within one RTT or less); * when the nofeedback timer expires (within at most 4 RTTs). Further, there are complications caused by updating t_ipi whenever s changes: * if t_ipi had previously been updated to effect oscillation prevention (4.5), then it is impossible to make the same adjustment to t_ipi again, thus counter-acting the algorithm; * s may be updated any time and a modification of t_ipi depends on the current state (e.g. no oscillation prevention is done in the absence of feedback); * in rev-06 of rfc3448bis, there are more possible cases, depending on whether the sender is in slow-start (t_ipi <= R/W_init), or in congestion-avoidance, limited by X_recv or the throughput equation (t_ipi <= t_mbi). Thus there are side effects of always updating t_ipi as s changes. These may not be desirable. The only case I can think of where such an update makes sense is to recompute X_calc when p > 0 and when s changes (not done by this patch). Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

The per-CCID menu has several dependencies on EXPERIMENTAL.

The patch updates CCID-3 with regard to the latest rfc3448bis-06: * in the first revisions of the draft, MSS was used for the RFC 3390 window; * then (from revision #1 to revision #2), it used the packet size `s'; * now, in this revision (and apparently final), the value is back to MSS. This change has an implication for the case when no RTT sample is available, at the time of sending the first packet: * with RTT sample, 2*MSS/RTT <= initial_rate <= 4*MSS/RTT; * without RTT sample, the initial rate is one packet (s bytes) per second (sec. 4.2), but using s instead of MSS here creates an imbalance, since this would further reduce the initial sending rate. Hence the patch uses MSS (called MPS in RFC 4340) in all places. Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

This patch is a requirement for enabling ECN support later on. With that change in mind, the following preparations are done: * renamed handle_loss() into congestion_event() since it returns true when a congestion event happens (it will eventually also take care of ECN packets); * lets tfrc_rx_congestion_event() always update the RX history records, since this routine needs to be called for each non-duplicate packet anyway; * made all involved boolean-type functions to have return type `bool'; Updating the RX history records is now only necessary for the packets received up to sending the first feedback.

This updates the computation of X_recv with regard to Errata 610/611 for RFC 4342 and draft rfc3448bis-06, ensuring that at least an interval of 1 RTT is used to compute X_recv. The change is wrapped into a new function ccid3_hc_rx_x_recv(). Further changes: ---------------- * feedback is not sent when no data packets arrived (bytes_recv == 0), as per rfc3448bis-06, 6.2; * take the timestamp for the feedback /after/ dccp_send_ack() returns, to avoid taking the transmission time into account (in case layer-2 is busy); * clearer handling of failure in ccid3_first_li().

This improves the receiver RTT sampling algorithm so that it tries harder to get as many RTT samples as possible. The algorithm is based the concepts presented in RFC 4340, 8.1, using timestamps and the CCVal window counter. There exist 4 cases for the CCVal difference: * == 0: less than RTT/4 passed since last packet -- unusable; * > 4: (much) more than 1 RTT has passed since last packet -- also unusable; * == 4: perfect sample (exactly one RTT has passed since last packet); * 1..3: sub-optimal sample (between RTT/4 and 3*RTT/4 has passed). In the last case the algorithm tried to optimise by storing away the candidate and then re-trying next time. The problem is that * a large number of samples is needed to smooth out the inaccuracies of the algorithm; * the sender may not be sending enough packets to warrant a "next time"; * hence it is better to use suboptimal samples whenever possible. The algorithm now stores away the current sample only if the difference is 0. Applicability and background ---------------------------- A realistic example is MP3 streaming where packets are sent at a rate of less than one packet per RTT, which means that suitable samples are absent for a very long time. The effectiveness of using suboptimal samples (with a delta between 1 and 4) was confirmed by instrumenting the algorithm with counters. The results of two 20 second test runs were: * With the old algorithm and a total of 38442 function calls, only 394 of these calls resulted in usable RTT samples (about 1%), and 378 out of these were "perfect" samples and 28013 (unused) samples had a delta of 1..3. * With the new algorithm and a total of 37057 function calls, 1702 usable RTT samples were retrieved (about 4.6%), 5 out of these were "perfect" samples.

This updates the CCID-3 receiver in part with regard to errata 610 and 611 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_list.php), which change RFC 4342 to use the Receive Rate as specified in rfc3448bis, requiring to constantly sample the RTT (or use a sender RTT). Doing this requires reusing the RX history structure after dealing with a loss. The patch does not resolve how to compute X_recv if the interval is less than 1 RTT. A FIXME has been added (and is resolved in subsequent patch). Furthermore, since this is all TFRC-based functionality, the RTT estimation is now also performed by the dccp_tfrc_lib module.

The only state information that the CCID-3 receiver keeps is whether initial feedback has been sent or not. Further, this overlaps with use of feedback: * state == TFRC_RSTATE_NO_DATA as long as no feedback has been sent; * state == TFRC_RSTATE_DATA as soon as the first feedback has been sent.

This migrates more TFRC-related code into the dccp_tfrc_lib: * sampling of the packet size `s' (which is only needed until the first loss interval is computed (ccid3_first_li)); * updating the byte-counter `bytes_recvd' in between sending feedbacks. The result is a better separation of CCID-3 specific and TFRC specific code, which aids future integration with ECN and e.g. CCID-4. Further changes: ---------------- * replaced magic number of 536 with equivalent constant TCP_MIN_RCVMSS; (this constant is also used when no estimate for `s' is available).

This changes the return type of tfrc_lh_update_i_mean() to void, since that function returns always `false'. This is due to len = dccp_delta_seqno(cur->li_seqno, DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_seq) + 1; if (len - (s64)cur->li_length <= 0) /* duplicate or reordered */ return 0; which means that update_i_mean can only increase the length of the open loss interval I_0, and hence the value of I_tot0 (RFC 3448, 5.4). Consequently the test `i_mean < old_i_mean' at the end of the function always evaluates to false. There is no known way by which a loss interval can suddenly become shorter, therefore the return type of the function is changed to void. (That is, under the given circumstances step (3) in RFC 3448, 6.1 will not occur.) Further changes: ---------------- * the function is now called from tfrc_rx_handle_loss, which is equivalent to the previous way of calling from rx_packet_recv (it was called whenever there was no new or pending loss, now it is also updated when there is a pending loss - this increases the accuracy a bit); * added a FIXME to possibly consider NDP counting as per RFC 4342 (this is not implemented yet).

This enables the TFRC code to begin loss detection (as soon as the module is loaded), using the latest updates from rfc3448bis-06, 6.3.1: * when the first data packet(s) are lost or marked, set * X_target = s/(2*R) => f(p) = s/(R * X_target) = 2, * corresponding to a loss rate of ~ 20.64%. The handle_loss() function is now called right at the begin of rx_packet_recv() and thus no longer protected against duplicates: hence a call to rx_duplicate() has been added. Such a call makes sense now, as the previous patch initialises the first entry with a sequence number of GSR. Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

In the congestion-avoidance phase a decay of p towards 0 is natural once fewer losses are encountered. Hence the warning message "p is below resolution" is not necessary, and thus turned into a debug message by this patch. The TFRC_SMALLEST_P is needed since in theory p never actually reaches 0. When no further losses are encountered, the loss interval I_0 grows in length, causing p to decrease towards 0, causing X_calc = s/(RTT * f(p)) to increase. With the given minimum-resolution this congestion avoidance phase stops at some fixed value, an approximation formula has been added to the documentation.

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. Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

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.

This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of TX packets and provides two policies: * a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and * a priority based policy (set via socket options). Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write queue (can be overridden via socket options). The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.

This patch rearranges the order of statements of the slow-path input processing (i.e. any other state than OPEN), to resolve the following issues. 1. Dependencies: the order of statements now better matches RFC 4340, 8.5, i.e. step 7 is before step 9 (previously 9 was before 7), and parsing options in step 8 (which can consume resources) now comes after step 7. 2. Bug-fix: in state CLOSED, there should not be any sequence number checking or option processing. This is why the test for CLOSED has been moved after the test for LISTEN. 3. As before sequence number checks are omitted if in state LISTEN/REQUEST, due to the note underneath the table in RFC 4340, 7.5.3. 4. Packets are now passed on to Ack Vector / CCID processing only after - step 7 (receive unexpected packets), - step 9 (receive Reset), - step 13 (receive CloseReq), - step 14 (receive Close) and only if the state is PARTOPEN. This simplifies CCID processing: - in LISTEN/CLOSED the CCIDs are non-existent; - in RESPOND/REQUEST the CCIDs have not yet been negotiated; - in CLOSEREQ and active-CLOSING the node has already closed this socket; - in passive-CLOSING the client is waiting for its Reset. In the last case, RFC 4340, 8.3 leaves it open to ignore further incoming data, which is the approach taken here. As a result of (3), CCID processing is now indeed confined to OPEN/PARTOPEN states, i.e. congestion control is performed only on the flow of data packets. This avoids pathological cases of doing congestion control on those messages which set up and terminate the connection. I have done a few checks to see if this creates a problem in other parts of the code. This seems not to be the case; even if there were one, it would be better to fix it than to perform congestion control on Close/Request/Response messages. Similarly for Ack Vectors (as they depend on the negotiated CCID). Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

This patch consolidates the code common to TCP and CCID-2: * TCP uses RFC 3390 in a packet-oriented manner (tcp_input.c) and * CCID-2 uses RFC 3390 in packet-oriented manner (RFC 4341). Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

Realising the following call pattern, * first dccp_entail() is called to enqueue a new skb and * then skb_clone() is called to transmit a clone of that skb, this patch integrates both interrelated steps into dccp_entail(). Note: the return value of skb_clone is not checked. It may be an idea to add a warning if this occurs. In both instances, however, a timer is set for retransmission, so that cloning is re-tried via dccp_retransmit_skb(). Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

This removes the wrappers around the sk timer functions as it makes the code clearer and not much is gained from using wrappers: the BUG_ON in start_rto_timer will never trigger since that function was called only when * the RTO timer expired (rto_expire, and then timer_pending() is false); * in tx_packet_sent only if !timer_pending() (BUG_ON is redundant here); * previously in new_ack, after stopping the timer (timer_pending() false). One further motive behind this patch is to replace the RTO timer with the icsk retransmission timer, as it is already part of the DCCP socket. Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

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: Rewaskar, Sushant, Jasleen Kaur and F. Donelson Smith. 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. Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

This removes the dec_pipe function and improves the way the RTO timer is rearmed when a new acknowledgment comes in. Details and justification for removal: -------------------------------------- 1) The BUG_ON in dec_pipe is never triggered: pipe is only decremented for TX history entries between tail and head, for which it had previously been incremented in tx_packet_sent; and it is not decremented twice for the same entry, since it is - either decremented when a corresponding Ack Vector cell in state 0 or 1 was received (and then ccid2s_acked==1), - or it is decremented when ccid2s_acked==0, as part of the loss detection in tx_packet_recv (and hence it can not have been decremented earlier). 2) Restarting the RTO timer happens for every single entry in each Ack Vector parsed by tx_packet_recv (according to RFC 4340, 11.4 this can happen up to 16192 times per Ack Vector). 3) The RTO timer should not be restarted when all outstanding data has been acknowledged. This is currently done similar to (2), in dec_pipe, when pipe has reached 0. The patch onsolidates the code which rearms the RTO timer, combining the segments from new_ack and dec_pipe. As a result, the code becomes clearer (compare with tcp_rearm_rto()). Signed-off-by: NGerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
