This patch
* resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0
* supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second
* simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations
Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated
sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to
* cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second)
* allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3
* avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off
The patch implements a revised strategy from
http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html
The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already
used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.

This fixes
1) a bug in the recomputation of the sending rate by the nofeedback
timer when no feedback at all has so far been sent by the receiver:
min_t was used instead of max_t, which is wrong (cf. RFC 3448, p. 10);
2) an error in the computation of larger initial windows: instead of
min(... max()) (cf. RFC 4342, 5.), the code had used max(... max()).

This performs two optimisations for the recomputation of the sending rate.
1) Currently the target sending rate X_calc is recalculated whenever
a) the nofeedback timer expires, or
b) a feedback packet is received.
In the (a) case, recomputing X_calc is redundant, since
* the parameters p and RTT do not change in between the
reception of feedback packets;
* the parameter X_recv is either modified from received
feedback or via the nofeedback timer;
* a test (`p == 0') in the nofeedback timer avoids using
a stale/undefined value of X_calc if p was previously 0.
2) The nofeedback timer now only recomputes a timestamp when p == 0.
This is according to step (4) of [RFC 3448, 4.3] and avoids
unnecessarily determining a timestamp.
A debug statement about not updating X is also removed - it helps very
little in debugging and just clutters the logs.

This patch follows a suggestion by Ian McDonald and ensures that in

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 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

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

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.

This patch implements a suggestion by Ian McDonald and
1) Avoids tests against negative packet lengths by using unsigned int
for packet payload lengths in the CCID send_packet()/packet_sent() routines
2) As a consequence, it removes an now unnecessary test with regard to `len > 0'
in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent: that condition is always true, since
* negative packet lengths are avoided
* ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet flags an error whenever the payload length is 0.
As a consequence, ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is never called as all errors
returned by ccid_hc_tx_send_packet are caught in dccp_write_xmit
3) Removes the third argument of ccid_hc_tx_send_packet (the `len' parameter),
since it is currently always set to skb->len. The code is updated with regard
to this parameter change.

The patch further

* renames one constant with a very long name into one which is shorter and
resembles the one in RFC 3448 (t_mbi)

This patch
* removes setting t_RTO in ccid3_hc_tx_init (per [RFC 3448, 4.2], t_RTO is
undefined until feedback has been received);
* makes some trivial changes (updates of comments);
* performs a small optimisation by exploiting that the feedback timeout
uses the value of t_ipi. The way it is done is safe, because the timeouts
appear after the changes to t_ipi, ensuring that up-to-date values are used;
* in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, moves the t_rto statement closer to the calculation
of the next_tmout. This makes the code clearer to read and is also safe, since
t_rto is not updated until the next call of ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, and is not
read by the functions called via ccid_wait_for_ccid();
* removes a `max' statement in sk_reset_timer, this is not needed since the timeout
value is always greater than 1E6 microseconds.

This patch removes a switch statement which is redundant since,
* nothing is done in states TFRC_SSTATE_NO_SENT/TFRC_SSTATE_NO_FBACK
* it is impossible that the function is called in the state TFRC_SSTATE_TERM, since
--the function is called, in dccp_write_xmit, after ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet
--if ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet is called in state TFRC_SSTATE_TERM, it returns
-EINVAL, which means that ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent will not be called
(compare dccp_write_xmit)
--> therefore, this case is logically impossible
* the remaining state is TFRC_SSTATE_FBACK which conditionally updates t_ipi, t_nom,
and t_delta. This is a no-op, since
--t_ipi only changes when feedback is received
--however, when feedback arrives via ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv, there is an identical
code block which performs the same set of operations
--performing the same set of operations again in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent therefore
does not change anything, since between the time of receiving the last feedback
(and therefore update of t_ipi, t_nom, and t_delta), the value of t_ipi has not
changed
--since t_ipi has not changed, the values of t_delta and t_nom also do not change,
they depend fully on t_ipi

This resolves an `XXX' in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet().
The function is only called on Data and DataAck packets and returns a negative
result on zero-sized messages. This is a reasonable policy since CCID 3 is a
congestion-control module and congestion control on zero-sized Data(Ack)
packets is in a way pathological.
The patch uses a more suitable error code for this case, it returns the Posix.1
code `EBADMSG' ("Not a data message") instead of `ENOTCONN'.
As a result of ignoring zero-sized packets, a the condition for a warning
"First packet is data" in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent is always satisfied; this
message has been removed since it will always be printed.

This fixes CCID3 to give much closer performance to RFC4342.
CCID3 is meant to alter sending rate based on RTT and loss.
The performance was verified against:
http://wand.net.nz/~perry/max_download.php
For example I tested with netem and had the following parameters:
Delayed Acks 1, MSS 256 bytes, RTT 105 ms, packet loss 5%.
This gives a theoretical speed of 71.9 Kbits/s. I measured across three
runs with this patch set and got 70.1 Kbits/s. Without this patchset the
average was 232 Kbits/s which means Linux can't be used for CCID3 research
properly.
I also tested with netem turned off so box just acting as router with 1.2
msec RTT. The performance with this is the same with or without the patch
at around 30 Mbit/s.

from Juwen Lai's old stack for 2.4.20.

This patch puts mostly read only data in the right section
(read_mostly), to help sharing of these data between CPUS without
memory ping pongs.
On one of my production machine, tcp_statistics was sitting in a
heavily modified cache line, so *every* SNMP update had to force a
reload.

And also hc_tx and hc_rx get_info functions for the CCIDs to fill in
information that is specific to them.
For now reusing struct tcp_info, later I'll try to figure out a better
solution, for now its really nice to get this kind of info:
[root@qemu ~]# ./ss -danemi
State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Addr:Port Peer Addr:Port
LISTEN 0 0 *:5001 *:* ino:628 sk:c1340040
mem:(r0,w0,f0,t0) cwnd:0 ssthresh:0
ESTAB 0 0 172.20.0.2:5001 172.20.0.1:32785 ino:629 sk:c13409a0
mem:(r0,w0,f0,t0) ts rto:1000 rtt:0.004/0 cwnd:0 ssthresh:0 rcv_rtt:61.377
This, for instance, shows that we're not congestion controlling ACKs,
as the above output is in the ttcp receiving host, and ttcp is a one
way app, i.e. the received never calls sendmsg, so
ccid_hc_tx_send_packet is never called, so the TX half connection
stays in TFRC_SSTATE_NO_SENT state and hctx_rtt is never calculated,
stays with the value set in ccid3_hc_tx_init, 4us, as show above in
milliseconds (0.004ms), upcoming patches will fix this.
rcv_rtt seems sane tho, matching ping results :-)

CCID3 keeps this variable in usecs, inet_connection_socks in jiffies,
so to avoid Mars orbiter losses lets reintroduce ccid3hctx_t_rto 8)

This changes timestamp, timestamp echo, and elapsed time to use units of 10
usecs as per DCCP spec. This has been tested to verify that times are correct.
Also fixed up length and used hton/ntoh more.
Still to add in later patches:
- actually use elapsed time to adjust RTT
(commented out as was prior to this patch)
- send options at times more closely following the spec
(content is now correct)

This also changes the list_for_each_entry_safe_continue behaviour to match its
kerneldoc comment, that is, to start after the pos passed.
Also adds several helper functions from previously open coded fragments, making
the code more clear.

This way it gets closer to the TCP flow, where congestion window
checks are done, it seems we can map ccid_hc_tx_send_packet in
dccp_write_xmit to tcp_snd_wnd_test in tcp_write_xmit, a CCID2
decision should just fit in here as well...

Development to this point was done on a subversion repository at:
http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dccp-2.6/
This repository will be kept at this site for the foreseable future,
so that interested parties can see the history of this code,
attributions, etc.
If I ever decide to take this offline I'll provide the full history at
some other suitable place.
