CCID-2's cwnd increases like TCP during slow-start, which has implications for
* the local Sequence Window value (should be > cwnd),
* the Ack Ratio value.
Hence an exponential growth, if it does not reflect the actual network
conditions, can quickly lead to instability.
This patch adds congestion-window validation (RFC2861) to CCID-2:
* cwnd is constrained if the sender is application limited;
* cwnd is reduced after a long idle period, as suggested in the '90 paper
by Van Jacobson, in RFC 2581 (sec. 4.1);
* cwnd is never reduced below the RFC 3390 initial window.
As marked in the comments, the code is actually almost a direct copy of the
TCP congestion-window-validation algorithms. By continuing this work, it may
in future be possible to use the TCP code (not possible at the moment).
The mechanism can be turned off using a module parameter. Sampling of the
currently-used window (moving-maximum) is however done constantly; this is
used to determine the expected window, which can be exploited to regulate
DCCP's Sequence Window value.
This patch also sets slow-start-after-idle (RFC 4341, 5.1), i.e. it behaves like
TCP when net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle = 1.

This replaces a switch statement with a test, using the equivalent
function dccp_data_packet(skb). It also doubles the range of the field
`rx_num_data_pkts' by changing the type from `int' to `u32', avoiding
signed/unsigned comparison with the u16 field `dccps_r_ack_ratio'.

This moves CCID-2's initial window function into the header file, since several

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 into the same function.

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 may consume resources) now comes after step 7.
2. Sequence number checks are omitted if in state LISTEN/REQUEST, due to the
note underneath the table in RFC 4340, 7.5.3.
As a result, 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.
3. 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.

This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace
which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from
the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place,
the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first
message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages
of the same dump.
Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is
taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a
complete list of links and not miss any.
Testing:
I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split
over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in
one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy
netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have
had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set.
I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the
wireless tree. I just wanted to give this some testing right away.

Results on dummy device can be seen in my netconf 2011
slides. These results are for a 10Gige IXGBE intel
nic - on another i5 machine, very similar specs to
the one used in the netconf2011 results.
It turns out - this is a hell lot worse than dummy
and so this patch is even more beneficial for 10G.
Test setup:
----------
System under test sending packets out.
Additional box connected directly dropping packets.
Installed prio qdisc on the eth device and default
netdev default length of 1000 used as is.
The 3 prio bands each were set to 100 (didnt factor in
the results).
5 packet runs were made and the middle 3 picked.
results
-------
The "cpu" column indicates the which cpu the sample
was taken on,
The "Pkt runx" carries the number of packets a cpu
dequeued when forced to be in the "dequeuer" role.
The "avg" for each run is the number of times each
cpu should be a "dequeuer" if the system was fair.

As you can see the system is still not perfect but
is a lot better than what it was before...
At the moment we use the old backlog weight, weight_p
which is 64 packets. It seems to be reasonably fine
with that value.
The system could be made more fair if we reduce the
weight_p (as per my presentation), but we are going
to affect the shared backlog weight. Unless deemed
necessary, I think the default value is fine. If not
we could add yet another knob.

Modifies the name table array structure that contains the name
sequence instances for a given name type so that the publication
lists associated with a given instance are stored in a dynamically
allocated structure, rather than being embedded within the array
entry itself. This change is being done for several reasons:
1) It reduces the amount of data that needs to be copied whenever
a given array is expanded or contracted to accommodate the first
publication of a new name sequence or the removal of the last
publication of an existing name sequence.
2) It reduces the amount of memory associated with array entries that
are currently unused.
3) It facilitates the upcoming conversion of the publication lists
from TIPC-specific circular lists to standard kernel lists. (Standard
lists cannot be used with the former array structure because the
relocation of array entries during array expansion and contraction
would corrupt the lists.)
Note that, aside from introducing a small amount of code to dynamically
allocate and free the structure that now holds publication list info,
this change is largely a simple renaming exercise that replaces
references to "sseq->LIST" with "sseq->info->LIST" (or "info->LIST").

Optimizes the creation of a returned payload message by duplicating
the original message and then updating the small number of fields
that need to be adjusted, rather than building the new message header
from scratch. In addition, certain operations that are not always
required are relocated so that they are only done if needed.
These optimizations also have the effect of addressing other issues
that were present previously:
1) Fixes a bug that caused the socket send routines to return the
size of the returned message, rather than the size of the sent
message, when a returnable payload message was sent to a non-existent
destination port.
2) The message header of the returned message now matches that of
the original message more closely. The header is now always the same
size as the original header, and some message header fields that
weren't being initialized in the returned message header are now
populated correctly -- namely the "d" and "s" bits, and the upper
bound of a multicast name instance (where present).
