This fixes a bug in updating the Greatest Acknowledgment number Received (GAR):
the current implementation does not track the greatest received value -
lower values in the range AWL..AWH (RFC 4340, 7.5.1) erase higher ones.

This extends the existing wait-for-ccid routine so that it may be used with
different types of CCID, addressing the following problems:
1) The queue-drain mechanism only works with rate-based CCIDs. If CCID-2 for
example has a full TX queue and becomes network-limited just as the
application wants to close, then waiting for CCID-2 to become unblocked
could lead to an indefinite delay (i.e., application "hangs").
2) Since each TX CCID in turn uses a feedback mechanism, there may be changes
in its sending policy while the queue is being drained. This can lead to
further delays during which the application will not be able to terminate.
3) The minimum wait time for CCID-3/4 can be expected to be the queue length
times the current inter-packet delay. For example if tx_qlen=100 and a delay
of 15 ms is used for each packet, then the application would have to wait
for a minimum of 1.5 seconds before being allowed to exit.
4) There is no way for the user/application to control this behaviour. It would
be good to use the timeout argument of dccp_close() as an upper bound. Then
the maximum time that an application is willing to wait for its CCIDs to can
be set via the SO_LINGER option.
These problems are addressed by giving the CCID a grace period of up to the
`timeout' value.
The wait-for-ccid function is, as before, used when the application
(a) has read all the data in its receive buffer and
(b) if SO_LINGER was set with a non-zero linger time, or
(c) the socket is either in the OPEN (active close) or in the PASSIVE_CLOSEREQ
state (client application closes after receiving CloseReq).
In addition, there is a catch-all case of __skb_queue_purge() after waiting for
the CCID. This is necessary since the write queue may still have data when
(a) the host has been passively-closed,
(b) abnormal termination (unread data, zero linger time),
(c) wait-for-ccid could not finish within the given time limit.

This extends the packet dequeuing interface of dccp_write_xmit() to allow
1. CCIDs to take care of timing when the next packet may be sent;
2. delayed sending (as before, with an inter-packet gap up to 65.535 seconds).
The main purpose is to take CCID-2 out of its polling mode (when it is network-
limited, it tries every millisecond to send, without interruption).
The mode of operation for (2) is as follows:
* new packet is enqueued via dccp_sendmsg() => dccp_write_xmit(),
* ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() detects that it may not send (e.g. window full),
* it signals this condition via `CCID_PACKET_WILL_DEQUEUE_LATER',
* dccp_write_xmit() returns without further action;
* after some time the wait-condition for CCID becomes true,
* that CCID schedules the tasklet,
* tasklet function calls ccid_hc_tx_send_packet() via dccp_write_xmit(),
* since the wait-condition is now true, ccid_hc_tx_packet() returns "send now",
* packet is sent, and possibly more (since dccp_write_xmit() loops).
Code reuse: the taskled function calls dccp_write_xmit(), the timer function
reduces to a wrapper around the same code.

This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending
function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches.
Currently the convention is
* values < 0 mean error,
* a value == 0 means "send now", and
* a value x > 0 means "send in x milliseconds".
The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values.
In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds,
corresponding to 65.535 seconds. This is possible since in CCID-3/4 the
maximum possible inter-packet gap is fixed at t_mbi = 64 sec.

__inet_inherit_port()
When __inet_inherit_port() is called on a tproxy connection the wrong locks are
held for the inet_bind_bucket it is added to. __inet_inherit_port() made an
implicit assumption that the listener's port number (and thus its bind bucket).
Unfortunately, if you're using the TPROXY target to redirect skbs to a
transparent proxy that assumption is not true anymore and things break.
This patch adds code to __inet_inherit_port() so that it can handle this case
by looking up or creating a new bind bucket for the child socket and updates
callers of __inet_inherit_port() to gracefully handle __inet_inherit_port()
failing.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

This patch generalises the task of determining data loss from RFC 4340, 7.7.1.
Let S_A, S_B be sequence numbers such that S_B is "after" S_A, and let
N_B be the NDP count of packet S_B. Then, using modulo-2^48 arithmetic,
D = S_B - S_A - 1 is an upper bound of the number of lost data packets,
D - N_B is an approximation of the number of lost data packets
(there are cases where this is not exact).
The patch implements this as
dccp_loss_count(S_A, S_B, N_B) := max(S_B - S_A - 1 - N_B, 0)

This fixes a problem and a potential loophole with regard to seqno/ackno
validity: currently the initial adjustments to AWL/SWL are only performed
once at the begin of the connection, during the handshake.
Since the Sequence Window feature is always greater than Wmin=32 (7.5.2),
it is however necessary to perform these adjustments at least for the first
W/W' (variables as per 7.5.1) packets in the lifetime of a connection.
This requirement is complicated by the fact that W/W' can change at any time
during the lifetime of a connection.
Therefore it is better to perform that safety check each time SWL/AWL are
updated, as implemented by the patch.
A second problem solved by this patch is that the remote/local Sequence Window
feature values (which set the bounds for AWL/SWL/SWH) are undefined until the
feature negotiation has completed.
During the initial handshake we have more stringent sequence number protection;
the changes added by this patch effect that {A,S}W{L,H} are within the correct
bounds at the instant that feature negotiation completes (since the SeqWin
feature activation handlers call dccp_update_gsr/gss()).

This adds a function to take care of the following, separate cases occurring in
the computation of the Loss Rate p:
* 1/(2^32-1) is mapped into 0% as per RFC 4342, 8.5;
* 1/0 is mapped into 100%, the maximum;
* to avoid that p = 1/x is rounded down to 0 when x is very large, since this
means accidentally re-entering slow-start indicated by p == 0, the minimum
resolution value of p is now returned instead;
* a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed: 1/0 was mapped into ~0U.

This patch is thanks to an investigation by Leandro Sales de Melo and his
colleagues. They worked out two state diagrams which highlight the fact that
the xxx_TERM states in CCID-3/4 are in fact not necessary.
And this can be confirmed by in turn looking at the code: the xxx_TERM states
are only ever set in ccid3_hc_{rx,tx}_exit(): when CCID-3 sets the state
to xxx_TERM, it is at a time where no more processing should be going on,
hence it is not necessary to introduce a dedicated exit state - this is already
implied by unloading the CCID.

This
1. adds packet type information to ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is
necessary, since table 3 in RFC 4340, 5.8 leaves it to the CCIDs to state
which options may (not) appear on what packet type.
2. adds such a check for CCID-3's {Loss Event, Receive} Rate as specified in
RFC 4340 8.3 ("Receive Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets")
and 8.5 ("Loss Event Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets").
3. removes an unused argument `idx' from ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This
is also no longer necessary, since the CCID-specific option-parsing routines
are passed every single parameter of the type-length-value option encoding.

This simplifies and consolidates the TX option-parsing code:
1. The Loss Intervals option is not currently used, so dead code related to
this option is removed. I am aware of no plans to support the option, but
if someone wants to implement it (e.g. for inter-op tests), it is better
to start afresh than having to also update currently unused code.
2. The Loss Event and Receive Rate options have a lot of code in common (both
are 32 bit, both have same length etc.), so this is consolidated.
3. The test against GSR is not necessary, because
- on first loading CCID3, ccid_new() zeroes out all fields in the socket;
- ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv() treats 0 and ~0U equivalently, due to
pinv = opt_recv->ccid3or_loss_event_rate;
if (pinv == ~0U || pinv == 0)
hctx->p = 0;
- as a result, the sequence number field is removed from opt_recv.

This removes the RTT-sampling function tfrc_tx_hist_rtt(), since
1. it suffered from complex passing of return values (the return value both
indicated successful lookup while the value doubled as RTT sample);
2. when for some odd reason the sample value equalled 0, this triggered a bug
warning about "bogus Ack", due to the ambiguity of the return value;
3. on a passive host which has not sent anything the TX history is empty and
thus will lead to unwanted "bogus Ack" warnings such as
ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-28197148
ccid3_hc_tx_packet_recv: server(e7b7d518): DATAACK with bogus ACK-26641606.
The fix is to replace the implicit encoding by performing the steps manually.
Furthermore, the "bogus Ack" warning has been removed, since it can actually be
triggered due to several reasons (network reordering, old packet, (3) above),
hence it is not very useful.

This fixes a subtle bug in the calculation of the inter-packet gap and shows
that t_delta, as it is currently used, is not needed.
The algorithm from RFC 5348, 8.3 below continually computes a send time t_nom,
which is initialised with the current time t_now; t_gran = 1E6 / HZ specifies
the scheduling granularity, s the packet size, and X the sending rate:
t_distance = t_nom - t_now; // in microseconds
t_delta = min(t_ipi, t_gran) / 2; // `delta' parameter in microseconds
if (t_distance >= t_delta) {
reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;
} else {
t_ipi = s / X; // inter-packet interval in usec
t_nom += t_ipi; // compute the next send time
send packet now;
}
Problem:
--------
Rescheduling requires a conversion into milliseconds (sk_reset_timer()). The
highest jiffy resolution with HZ=1000 is 1 millisecond, so using a higher
granularity does not make much sense here.
As a consequence, values of t_distance < 1000 are truncated to 0. This issue
has so far been resolved by using instead
if (t_distance >= t_delta + 1000)
reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;
This is unnecessarily large, a lower bound is t_delta' = max(t_delta, 1000).
And it implies a further simplification:
a) when HZ >= 500, then t_delta <= t_gran/2 = 10^6/(2*HZ) <= 1000, so that
t_delta' = MAX(1000, t_delta) = 1000 (constant value);
b) when HZ < 500, then t_delta = 1/2*MIN(rtt, t_ipi, t_gran) <= t_gran/2,
so that 1000 <= t_delta' <= t_gran/2.
The maximum error of using a constant t_delta in (b) is less than half a jiffy.
Fix:
----
The patch replaces t_delta with a constant, whose value depends on CONFIG_HZ,
changing the above algorithm to:
if (t_distance >= t_delta')
reschedule after (t_distance / 1000) milliseconds;
where t_delta' = 10^6/(2*HZ) if HZ < 500, and t_delta' = 1000 otherwise.

This makes RTAX_RTO_MIN also available to CCID-3, replacing the compile-time
RTO lower bound with a per-route tunable value.
The original Kconfig option solved the problem that a very low RTT (in the
order of HZ) can trigger too frequent and unnecessary reductions of the
sending rate.
This tunable does not affect the initial RTO value of 2 seconds specified in
RFC 5348, section 4.2 and Appendix B. But like the hardcoded Kconfig value,
it allows to adapt to network conditions.
The same effect as the original Kconfig option of 100ms is now achieved by
> ip route replace to unicast 192.168.0.0/24 rto_min 100j dev eth0
(assuming HZ=1000).

Using a fixed RTO_MIN of 0.2 seconds was found to cause problems for CCID-2
over 802.11g: at least once per session there was a spurious timeout. It
helped to then increase the the value of RTO_MIN over this link.
Since the problem is the same as in TCP, this patch makes the solution from
commit "05bb1fad1cde025a864a90cfeb98dcbefe78a44a"

available to DCCP.
This avoids reinventing the wheel, so that e.g. the following works in the
expected way now also for CCID-2:
> ip route change 10.0.0.2 rto_min 800 dev ath0
Luckily this useful rto_min function was recently moved to net/tcp.h,
which simplifies sharing code originating from TCP.
Documentation also updated (plus minor whitespace fixes).

This patch consolidates initial-window code common to TCP and CCID-2:
* TCP uses RFC 3390 in a packet-oriented manner (tcp_input.c) and
* CCID-2 uses RFC 3390 in packet-oriented manner (RFC 4341).

This removes the wrappers around the sk timer functions, since not much is
gained from using them: the BUG_ON in start_rto_timer will never trigger
since that function is called only if:
* the RTO timer expires (rto_expire, and then timer_pending() is false);
* in tx_packet_sent only if !timer_pending() (BUG_ON is redundant here);
* previously in new_ack, after stopping the timer (timer_pending() false).
Removing the wrappers also clears the way for eventually replacing the
RTO timer with the icsk-retransmission-timer, as it is already part of the
DCCP socket.

Since CCID-2 is de facto a mini implementation of TCP, it makes sense to share
as much code as possible.
Hence this patch aligns CCID-2 timestamping with TCP timestamping.
This also halves the space consumption (on 64-bit systems).
The necessary include file <net/tcp.h> is already included by way of
net/dccp.h. Redundant includes have been removed.

The current CCID-2 RTT estimator code is in parts broken and lags behind the
suggestions in RFC2988 of using scaled variants for SRTT/RTTVAR.
That code is replaced by the present patch, which reuses the Linux TCP RTT
estimator code.
Further details:
----------------
1. The minimum RTO of previously one second has been replaced with TCP's, since
RFC4341, sec. 5 says that the minimum of 1 sec. (suggested in RFC2988, 2.4)
is not necessary. Instead, the TCP_RTO_MIN is used, which agrees with DCCP's
concept of a default RTT (RFC 4340, 3.4).
2. The maximum RTO has been set to DCCP_RTO_MAX (64 sec), which agrees with
RFC2988, (2.5).
3. De-inlined the function ccid2_new_ack().
4. Added a FIXME: the RTT is sampled several times per Ack Vector, which will
give the wrong estimate. It should be replaced with one sample per Ack.
However, at the moment this can not be resolved easily, since
- it depends on TX history code (which also needs some work),
- the cleanest solution is not to use the `sent' time at all (saves 4 bytes
per entry) and use DCCP timestamps / elapsed time to estimated the RTT,
which however is non-trivial to get right (but needs to be done).
Reasons for reusing the Linux TCP estimator algorithm:
------------------------------------------------------
Some time was spent to find a better alternative, using basic RFC2988 as a first
step. Further analysis and experimentation showed that the Linux TCP RTO
estimator is superior to a basic RFC2988 implementation. A summary is on
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/ccid2/rto_estimator/
In addition, this estimator fared well in a recent empirical evaluation:
Rewaskar, Sushant, Jasleen Kaur and F. Donelson Smith.
A Performance Study of Loss Detection/Recovery in Real-world TCP
Implementations. Proceedings of 15th IEEE International
Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP-07), 2007.
Thus there is significant benefit in reusing the existing TCP code.

This removes the dec_pipe function and improves the way the RTO timer is rearmed
when a new acknowledgment comes in.
Details and justification for removal:
--------------------------------------
1) The BUG_ON in dec_pipe is never triggered: pipe is only decremented for TX
history entries between tail and head, for which it had previously been
incremented in tx_packet_sent; and it is not decremented twice for the same
entry, since it is
- either decremented when a corresponding Ack Vector cell in state 0 or 1
was received (and then ccid2s_acked==1),
- or it is decremented when ccid2s_acked==0, as part of the loss detection
in tx_packet_recv (and hence it can not have been decremented earlier).
2) Restarting the RTO timer happens for every single entry in each Ack Vector
parsed by tx_packet_recv (according to RFC 4340, 11.4 this can happen up to
16192 times per Ack Vector).
3) The RTO timer should not be restarted when all outstanding data has been
acknowledged. This is currently done similar to (2), in dec_pipe, when
pipe has reached 0.
The patch onsolidates the code which rearms the RTO timer, combining the
segments from new_ack and dec_pipe. As a result, the code becomes clearer
(compare with tcp_rearm_rto()).

This removes the ccid2_hc_tx_check_sanity function: it is redundant.
Details:
The tx_check_sanity function performs three tests:
1) it checks that the circular TX list is sorted
- in ascending order of sequence number (ccid2s_seq)
- and time (ccid2s_sent),
- in the direction from `tail' (hctx_seqt) to `head' (hctx_seqh);
2) it ensures that the entire list has the length seqbufc * CCID2_SEQBUF_LEN;
3) it ensures that pipe equals the number of packets that were not
marked `acked' (ccid2s_acked) between `tail' and `head'.
The following argues that each of these tests is redundant, this can be verified
by going through the code.
(1) is not necessary, since both time and GSS increase from one packet to the
next, so that subsequent insertions in tx_packet_sent (which advance the `head'
pointer) will be in ascending order of time and sequence number.
In (2), the length of the list is always equal to seqbufc times CCID2_SEQBUF_LEN
(set to 1024) unless allocation caused an earlier failure, because:
* at initialisation (tx_init), there is one chunk of size 1024 and seqbufc=1;
* subsequent calls to tx_alloc_seq take place whenever head->next == tail in
tx_packet_sent; then a new chunk of size 1024 is inserted between head and
tail, and seqbufc is incremented by one.
To show that (3) is redundant requires looking at two cases.
The `pipe' variable of the TX socket is incremented only in tx_packet_sent, and
decremented in tx_packet_recv. When head == tail (TX history empty) then pipe
should be 0, which is the case directly after initialisation and after a
retransmission timeout has occurred (ccid2_hc_tx_rto_expire).
The first case involves parsing Ack Vectors for packets recorded in the live
portion of the buffer, between tail and head. For each packet marked by the
receiver as received (state 0) or ECN-marked (state 1), pipe is decremented by
one, so for all such packets the BUG_ON in tx_check_sanity will not trigger.
The second case is the loss detection in the second half of tx_packet_recv,
below the comment "Check for NUMDUPACK".
The first while-loop here ensures that the sequence number of `seqp' is either
above or equal to `high_ack', or otherwise equal to the highest sequence number
sent so far (of the entry head->prev, as head points to the next unsent entry).
The next while-loop ("while (1)") counts the number of acked packets starting
from that position of seqp, going backwards in the direction from head->prev to
tail. If NUMDUPACK=3 such packets were counted within this loop, `seqp' points
to the last acknowledged packet of these, and the "if (done == NUMDUPACK)" block
is entered next.
The while-loop contained within that block in turn traverses the list backwards,
from head to tail; the position of `seqp' is saved in the variable `last_acked'.
For each packet not marked as `acked', a congestion event is triggered within
the loop, and pipe is decremented. The loop terminates when `seqp' has reached
`tail', whereupon tail is set to the position previously stored in `last_acked'.
Thus, between `last_acked' and the previous position of `tail',
- pipe has been decremented earlier if the packet was marked as state 0 or 1;
- pipe was decremented if the packet was not marked as acked.
That is, pipe has been decremented by the number of packets between `last_acked'
and the previous position of `tail'. As a consequence, pipe now again reflects
the number of packets which have not (yet) been acked between the new position
of tail (at `last_acked') and head->prev, or 0 if head==tail. The result is that
the BUG_ON condition in check_sanity will also not be triggered, hence the test
(3) is also redundant.

The CCIDs are activated as last of the features, at the end of the handshake,
were the LISTEN state of the master socket is inherited into the server
state of the child socket. Thus, the only states visible to CCIDs now are
OPEN/PARTOPEN, and the closing states.
This allows to remove tests which were previously necessary to protect
against referencing a socket in the listening state (in CCID-3), but which
now have become redundant.
As a further byproduct of enabling the CCIDs only after the connection has been
fully established, several typecast-initialisations of ccid3_hc_{rx,tx}_sock
can now be eliminated:
* the CCID is loaded, so it is not necessary to test if it is NULL,
* if it is possible to load a CCID and leave the private area NULL, then this
is a bug, which should crash loudly - and earlier,
* the test for state==OPEN || state==PARTOPEN now reduces only to the closing
phase (e.g. when the node has received an unexpected Reset).

This patch is thanks to Andre Noll who reported the issue and helped testing.
The Syn-RTT sampled during the initial handshake currently only works for
the client sending the DCCP-Request. TFRC penalizes the absence of an RTT
sample with a very slow initial speed (1 packet per second), which delays
slow-start significantly, resulting in sluggish performance.
This patch mirrors the "Syn RTT" principle by adding a timestamp also onto
the DCCP-Response, producing an RTT sample when the (Data)Ack completing
the handshake arrives.
Also changed the documentation to 'TFRC' since Syn RTTs are also used by CCID-4.

sk_callback_lock rwlock actually protects sk->sk_sleep pointer, so we
need two atomic operations (and associated dirtying) per incoming
packet.
RCU conversion is pretty much needed :
1) Add a new structure, called "struct socket_wq" to hold all fields
that will need rcu_read_lock() protection (currently: a
wait_queue_head_t and a struct fasync_struct pointer).
[Future patch will add a list anchor for wakeup coalescing]
2) Attach one of such structure to each "struct socket" created in
sock_alloc_inode().
3) Respect RCU grace period when freeing a "struct socket_wq"
4) Change sk_sleep pointer in "struct sock" by sk_wq, pointer to "struct
socket_wq"
5) Change sk_sleep() function to use new sk->sk_wq instead of
sk->sk_sleep
6) Change sk_has_sleeper() to wq_has_sleeper() that must be used inside
a rcu_read_lock() section.
7) Change all sk_has_sleeper() callers to :
- Use rcu_read_lock() instead of read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
- Use wq_has_sleeper() to eventually wakeup tasks.
- Use rcu_read_unlock() instead of read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
8) sock_wake_async() is modified to use rcu protection as well.
9) Exceptions :
macvtap, drivers/net/tun.c, af_unix use integrated "struct socket_wq"
instead of dynamically allocated ones. They dont need rcu freeing.
Some cleanups or followups are probably needed, (possible
sk_callback_lock conversion to a spinlock for example...).

With latest CONFIG_PROVE_RCU stuff, I felt more comfortable to make this
work.
sk->sk_dst_cache is currently protected by a rwlock (sk_dst_lock)
This rwlock is readlocked for a very small amount of time, and dst
entries are already freed after RCU grace period. This calls for RCU
again :)
This patch converts sk_dst_lock to a spinlock, and use RCU for readers.
__sk_dst_get() is supposed to be called with rcu_read_lock() or if
socket locked by user, so use appropriate rcu_dereference_check()
condition (rcu_read_lock_held() || sock_owned_by_user(sk))
This patch avoids two atomic ops per tx packet on UDP connected sockets,
for example, and permits sk_dst_lock to be much less dirtied.
