Updating the NDP count feature is handled automatically now:
* for CCID-2 it is disabled, since the code does not use NDP counts;
* for CCID-3 it is enabled, as NDP counts are used to determine loss lengths.
Allowing the user to change NDP values leads to unpredictable and failing
behaviour, since it is then possible to disable NDP counts even when they
are needed (e.g. in CCID-3).
This means that only those user settings are sensible that agree with the
values for Send NDP Count implied by the choice of CCID. But those settings
are already activated by the feature negotiation (CCID dependency tracking),
hence this form of support is redundant.
At startup the initialisation of the NDP count feature uses the default
value of 0, which is done implicitly by the zeroing-out of the socket when
it is allocated. If the choice of CCID or feature negotiation enables NDP
count, this will then be updated via the NDP activation handler.

The TX/RX CCIDs of the minisock are now redundant: similar to the Ack Vector
case, their value equals initially that of the sysctl, but at the end of
feature negotiation may be something different.
The old interface removed by this patch thus has been replaced by the newer
interface to dynamically query the currently loaded CCIDs.
Also removed are the constructors for the TX CCID and the RX CCID, since the
switch "rx <-> non-rx" is done by the handler in minisocks.c (and the handler
is the only place in the code where CCIDs are loaded).

This integrates feature-activation in the client:
1. When dccp_parse_options() fails, the reset code is already set; request_sent\
_state_process() currently overrides this with `Packet Error', which is not
intended - changed to use the reset code supplied by dccp_parse_options().
2. When feature negotiation fails, the socket should be marked as not usable,
so that the application is notified that an error occurred. This is achieved
by a new label 'unable_to_proceed': generating an error code of `Aborted',
setting the socket state to CLOSED, returning with ECOMM in sk_err.
3. Avoids parsing the Ack twice in Respond state by not doing option processing
again in dccp_rcv_respond_partopen_state_process (as option processing has
already been done on the request_sock in dccp_check_req).
Since this addresses congestion-control initialisation, a corresponding
FIXME has been removed.

This patch integrates the activation of features at the end of negotiation
into the server-side code.
Note regarding the removal of 'const':
--------------------------------------
The 'const' attribute has been removed from 'dreq' since dccp_activate_values()
needs to operate on dreq's feature list. Part of the activation is to remove
those options from the list that have already been confirmed, hence it is not
purely read-only.

This first patch out of three replaces the hardcoded default settings with
initialisation code for the dynamic feature negotiation.
The patch also ensures that the client feature-negotiation queue is flushed
only when entering the OPEN state.
Since confirmed Change options are removed as soon as they are confirmed
(in the DCCP-Response), this ensures that Confirm options are retransmitted.
Note on retransmitting Confirm options:
---------------------------------------
Implementation experience showed that it is necessary to retransmit Confirm
options. Thanks to Leandro Melo de Sales who reported a bug in an earlier
revision of the patch set, resulting from not retransmitting these options.
As long as the client is in PARTOPEN, it needs to retransmit the Confirm
options for the Change options received on the DCCP-Response from the server.
Otherwise, if the packet containing the Confirm options gets dropped in the
network, the connection aborts due to undefined feature negotiation state.

This patch provides the post-processing of feature negotiation state, after
the negotiation has completed.
To this purpose, handlers are used and added to the dccp_feat_table. Each
handler is passed a boolean flag whether the RX or TX side of the feature
is meant.
Several handlers are provided already, new handlers can easily be added.
The initialisation is now fully dynamic, i.e. CCIDs are activated only
after the feature negotiation. The integration of this dynamic activation
is done in the subsequent patches.
Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing out the necessity of skipping over empty
Confirm options while copying the negotiated feature values.

This adds/replaces code for processing incoming ChangeL/R options.
The main difference is that:
* mandatory FN options are now interpreted inside the function
(there are too many individual cases to do this externally);
* the function returns an appropriate Reset code or 0,
which is then used to fill in the data for the Reset packet.
Old code, which is no longer used or referenced, has been removed.

The patch implements insertion of feature negotiation at the server (listening
and request socket) and the client (connecting socket).
In dccp_insert_options(), several statements have been grouped together now
to achieve (it is hoped) better efficiency by reducing the number of tests
each packet has to go through:
- Ack Vectors are sent if the packet is neither a Data or a Request packet;
- a previous issue is corrected - feature negotiation options are allowed
on DataAck packets (5.8).

This splits the setsockopt calls into two groups, depending on whether an
integer argument (val) is required and whether routines being called do
their own locking.
Some options (such as setting the CCID) use u8 rather than int, so that for
these the test with regard to integer-sizeof can not be used.
The second switch-case statement now only has those statements which need
locking and which make use of `val'.

This patch deprecates the Ack Ratio sysctl, since
* Ack Ratio is entirely ignored by CCID-3 and CCID-4,
* Ack Ratio currently doesn't work in CCID-2 (i.e. is always set to 1);
* even if it would work in CCID-2, there is no point for a user to change it:
- Ack Ratio is constrained by cwnd (RFC 4341, 6.1.2),
- if Ack Ratio > cwnd, the system resorts to spurious RTO timeouts
(since waiting for Acks which will never arrive in this window),
- cwnd is not a user-configurable value.
The only reasonable place for Ack Ratio is to print it for debugging. It is
planned to do this later on, as part of e.g. dccp_probe.
With this patch Ack Ratio is now under full control of feature negotiation:
* Ack Ratio is resolved as a dependency of the selected CCID;
* if the chosen CCID supports it (i.e. CCID == CCID-2), Ack Ratio is set to
the default of 2, following RFC 4340, 11.3 - "New connections start with Ack
Ratio 2 for both endpoints";
* what happens then is part of another patch set, since it concerns the
dynamic update of Ack Ratio while the connection is in full flight.

This provides feature negotiation for server minimum checksum coverage
which so far has been missing.
Since sender/receiver coverage values range only from 0...15, their
type has also been reduced in size from u16 to u4.
Feature-negotiation options are now generated for both sender and receiver
coverage, i.e. when the peer has `forgotten' to enable partial coverage
then feature negotiation will automatically enable (negotiate) the partial
coverage value for this connection.

The previous setsockopt interface, which passed socket options via struct
dccp_so_feat, is complicated/difficult to use. Continuing to support it leads to
ugly code since the old approach did not distinguish between NN and SP values.
This patch removes the old setsockopt interface and replaces it with two new
functions to register NN/SP values for feature negotiation.
These are essentially wrappers around the internal __feat_register functions,
with checking added to avoid
* wrong usage (type);
* changing values while the connection is in progress.

This adds a hook to resolve features whose value depends on the choice of
CCID. It is done at the server since it can only be done after the CCID
values have been negotiated; i.e. the client will add its CCID preference
list on the Change options sent in the Request, which will be reconciled
with the local preference list of the server.

RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure :
- sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the
price of call_rcu() at freeing time.
- hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers.
This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established
and timewait sockets.
Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications
using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting
rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case.

dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock)

This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly
depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector
feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of).
For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows:
* since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing
endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection;
* a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer
with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4);
* for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus
negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack
Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or
ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack
Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment
in the source code.
An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature,
since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options
of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation
options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option,
as it is used by the CCID3 code.
Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID.
The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has
made all other registrations for changing default values of features.
The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation
invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0'
is used to mark the end of the table.

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.

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/\

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

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).

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).

The per-CCID menu has several dependencies on EXPERIMENTAL. These are redundant,
since net/dccp/ccids/Kconfig is sourced by net/dccp/Kconfig and since the
latter menu in turn asserts a dependency on EXPERIMENTAL.
The patch removes the redundant dependencies as well as the repeated reference
within the sub-menu.
Further changes:
----------------
Two single dependencies on CCID-3 are replaced with a single enclosing `if'.

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.
