This removes the `dccphtx_ccval' field since it is nowhere used in the code and in fact not necessary for the accounting. Signed-off-by:

This puts the window counter computation [RFC 4342, 8.1] into a separate function which is called whenever a new packet is ready for immediate transmission in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet. Justification: The window counter update was previously computed after the packet was sent. This has two drawbacks, both fixed by this patch: 1) re-compute another timestamp almost directly after the packet was sent (expensive), 2) the CCVal for the window counter is needed at the instant the packet is sent. Further details: The initialisation of the window counter is left in the state NO_SENT, as before. The algorithm will do nothing if either RTT is initialised to 0 (which is ok) or if the RTT value remains below 4 microseconds (which is almost pathological). Signed-off-by:

CCID3 performance depends much on the accuracy of RTT samples. If RTT samples grow too large, performance can be catastrophically poor. To limit the amount of possible damage in such cases, the patch * introduces an upper limit which identifies a maximum `sane' RTT value; * uses a macro to enforce this upper limit. Using a macro was given preference, since it is necessary to identify the calling function in the warning message. Since exceeding this threshold identifies a critical condition, DCCP_CRIT is used and not DCCP_WARN. Many thanks to Ian McDonald for collaboration on this issue. Signed-off-by:

In both the sender and the receiver it is possible that the stored RTT value is accessed before an actual RTT estimate has been computed. This patch * initialises the sender RTT to 0 - the sender always accesses the RTT in ccid3_hc_tx_packet_sent - the RTT is further needed for the window counter algorithm * replaces the receiver initialisation of 5msec with 0 - which has the same effect and removes an `XXX' - the RTT value is needed in ccid3_hc_rx_packet_recv as rtt_prev Signed-off-by: -

The function ccid3_hc_tx_insert_options only does a redundant no-op, as the operation DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_ccval = hctx->ccid3hctx_last_win_count; is already performed _unconditionally_ in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet. Since there is further no current need for this function, it is removed entirely. Since furthermore, there is actually no present need for the entire interface function ccid_hc_tx_insert_options, it was decided to remove it also, to clean up the interface. Signed-off-by:

This adds a (debug) warning message which is triggered whenever a packet is discarded due to send failure. It also adds a conditional, so that an interruption during dccp_wait_for_ccid is not treated as a `BUG': the rationale is that interruptions are external, whereas bug warnings are concerned with the internals.

This is an optimisation to reduce CPU load. The received feedback is now only directed to the active CCID component, without requiring processing also by the inactive one. As a consequence, a similar test in ccid3.c is now redundant and is also removed. Justification: Currently DCCP works as a unidirectional service, i.e. a listening server is not at the same time a connecting client. As far as I can see, several modifications are necessary until that becomes possible. At the present time, received feedback is both fed to the rx/tx CCID modules. In unidirectional service, only one of these is active at any one time. Signed-off-by:

In migrating towards using the newer functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 for TFRC computations mapped from floating-point onto integer arithmetic, this completes the last stage of modifications. In particular, the overflow case for computing X_calc is circumvented by * breaking the computation into two stages * the first stage, res = (s*1E6)/R, cannot overflow due to use of u64 * in the second stage, res = (res*1E6)/f, overflow on u32 is avoided due to (i) returning UINT_MAX in this case (which is logically appropriate) and (ii) issuing a warning message into the system log (since very likely there is a problem somewhere else with the parameters) Lastly, all such scaling operations are now exported into tfrc.h, since actually this form of scaled computation is specific to TFRC and not to CCID3.

Problem: Most target types in the CCID3 code are u32, so subtle conversion errors can occur if signed time calculations yield negative results: the original values are lost in the conversion to unsigned, calculation errors go undetected. This patch therefore * sets all critical time types from unsigned to suseconds_t * avoids comparison between signed/unsigned via type-casting * provides ample warning messages in case time calculations are negative These warning messages can be removed at a later stage when the code has undergone more testing.

This simplifies the calculation of a value p for a given fval when the first loss interval is computed (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). It makes use of the two new functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 to provide overflow protection. Additionally, protection against divide-by-zero is extended - in this case the function will return the maximally possible value of p=100%. Background: The maximum fval, f(100%), is approximately 244, i.e. the scaled value of fval should never exceed 244E6, which fits easily into u32. The problem is the scaling by 10^6, since additionally R(TT) is in microseconds. This is resolved by breaking the division into two stages: the first stage computes fval=(s*10^6)/R, stores that into u64; the second stage computes fval = (fval*10^6)/X_recv and complains if overflow is reached for u32. This case is safe since the TFRC reverse-lookup routine then returns p=100%. Signed-off-by:

This replaces the remaining uses of usecs_div with scaled_div32, which internally uses 64bit division and produces a warning on overflow. Signed-off-by:

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()). Signed-off-by: -
Gerrit Renker authored
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. Signed-off-by: -

This patch follows a suggestion by Ian McDonald and ensures that in the current code the value of p can not exceed 100%. Such a value is illegal and would consequently cause a bug condition in tfrc_calc_x(). The receiver case is also tested, and a warning message is added. Signed-off-by:

It simplifies waiting for the CCID module to signal that a packet is ready to be sent. Other simplifications flow on from this such as removing constants. As a result of this EAGAIN is not returned any more by dccp_wait_for_ccid (which would otherwise lead to unnecessarily discarding the packet in dccp_write_xmit). Signed-off-by:

Currently WAN router drivers can be built in-kernel while the register/unregister_wan_device interfaces are built as modules. This causes: drivers/built-in.o: In function `cycx_init': cycx_main.c:(.init.text+0x5c4b): undefined reference to `register_wan_device' drivers/built-in.o: In function `cycx_exit': cycx_main.c:(.exit.text+0x560): undefined reference to `unregister_wan_device' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 The problem is caused by tristate -> bool conversion (y or m => y), so convert WAN_ROUTER_DRIVERS to a tristate so that the correct dependency is preserved.

As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary. It does that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the "linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which is really broken in itself, but whatever..) That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version" thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649: "[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information"). This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix the version finding. And /proc/version simply uses a different string. To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of "Linux version " first.

Fix sizing of big_bytes in the case of vlan frames. The 4 VLAN_HLEN bytes were omitted, leading to sizing the big buffer 4 bytes smaller than it should be. Due to how rx buffers are carved from pages, this was harmless for the common (9000, 1500) byte MTUs, but could lead to data corruption for some MTUs. Signed-off-by:
