    dccp ccid-2: Ack Vector interface clean-up · f17a37c9
    Gerrit Renker authored
    This patch brings the Ack Vector interface up to date. Its main purpose is
    to lay the basis for the subsequent patches of this set, which will use the
    new data structure fields and routines.
    
    There are no real algorithmic changes, rather an adaptation:
    
     (1) Replaced the static Ack Vector size (2) with a #define so that it can
         be adapted (with low loss / Ack Ratio, a value of 1 works, so 2 seems
         to be sufficient for the moment) and added a solution so that computing
         the ECN nonce will continue to work - even with larger Ack Vectors.
    
     (2) Replaced the #defines for Ack Vector states with a complete enum.
    
     (3) Replaced #defines to compute Ack Vector length and state with general
         purpose routines (inlines), and updated code to use these.
    
     (4) Added a `tail' field (conversion to circular buffer in subsequent patch).
    
     (5) Updated the (outdated) documentation for Ack Vector struct.
    
     (6) All sequence number containers now trimmed to 48 bits.
    
     (7) Removal of unused bits:
         * removed dccpav_ack_nonce from struct dccp_ackvec, since this is already
           redundantly stored in the `dccpavr_ack_nonce' (of Ack Vector record);
         * removed Elapsed Time for Ack Vectors (it was nowhere used);
         * replaced semantics of dccpavr_sent_len with dccpavr_ack_runlen, since
           the code needs to be able to remember the old run length;
         * reduced the de-/allocation routines (redundant / duplicate tests).
