2008-01-28[CCID2]: Remove redundant ack-counting variableGerrit Renker1-4/+2
The code used two different variables to count Acks, one of them redundant. This patch reduces the number of Ack counters to one. The type of the Ack counter has also been changed to u32 (twice the range of int); and the variable has been renamed into `packets_acked' - for consistency with RFC 3465 (and similarly named variables are used by TCP and SCTP). Lastly, a slightly less aggressive `maxincr' increment is used (for even Ack Ratios, maxincr was Ack Ratio/2 + 1 instead of Ack Ratio/2).

2008-01-28[CCID2]: Remove redundant synchronisation variableGerrit Renker1-1/+0
This removes the synchronisation variable `ccid2hctx_sendwait', which is set to 1 when the CCID2 sender may send a new packet, and which is set to 0 otherwise The variable is redundant, since it is only used in combination with the hc_tx_send_packet/ hc_tx_packet_sent function pair. Both functions are called under socket lock, so the following happens when the CCID2 may send a new packet: * it sets sendwait = 1 in tx_send_packet and returns 0; * the subsequent call to tx_packet_sent clears the sendwait flag; * since tx_send_packet returns 0 if and only if sendwait == 1, the BUG_ON condition in tx_packet_sent is never satisfied, since that function is never called when tx_send_packet returns a value different from 0 (cf. dccp_write_xmit); * the call to tx_packet_sent clears the flag so that the condition "!sendwait" is true the next time tx_packet_sent is called. In other words, it is sufficient to just return 0 / not-0 to synchronise tx_send_packet and tx_packet_sent -- which is what the patch does.

2008-01-28[CCID2]: Replace pipe assignment-function with assignmentGerrit Renker1-1/+2
The function ccid2_change_pipe only does an assignment. This patch simplifies the code by replacing the function with the assignment it performs. Furthermore, the type of pipe is promoted from `signed' to unsigned (increasing the range). As a result, a BUG_ON test for negative values now becomes obsolete (for safety not removed, but replaced with a less annoying `DCCP_BUG').

2008-01-28[CCID2]: Replace cwnd assignment-function with assignmentGerrit Renker1-1/+1
The current function ccid2_change_cwnd in effect makes only an assignment, as the test whether cwnd has reached 0 is only required when cwnd is halved. This patch simplifies the code by replacing the function with the assignment it performs. Furthermore, since ssthresh derives from cwnd and appears in many assignments and comparisons, the type of ssthresh has also been changed to match that of cwnd.

2008-01-28[CCID2]: Replace read-only variable with constantGerrit Renker1-1/+2
This replaces the field member `numdupack', which was used as a read-only constant in the code, with a #define.

2008-01-28[CCID2]: Disable broken Ack Ratio adaptation algorithmGerrit Renker1-4/+0
This comments out a problematic section comprising a half-finished algorithm: - The variable `ccid2hctx_ackloss' is never initialised to a value different from 0 and hence in fact is a read-only constant. - The `arsent' variable counts packets other than Acks (it is incremented for every packet), and there is no test for Ack Loss. - The concept of counting Acks as such leads to a complex calculation, and the calculation at the moment is inconsistent with this concept. The problem is that the number of Acks - rather than the number of windows - is counted, which leads to a complex (cubic/quadratic) expression - this is not even implemented. In its current state, the commented-out algorithm interfers with normal processing by changing Ack Ratio incorrectly, and at the wrong times. A new algorithm is necessary, which will not necessarily use the same variables as used by the unfinished one; hence the old variables have been removed.

2007-10-10[CCID2]: Remove redundant BUG_ONGerrit Renker1-1/+1
This removes a test for `val < 1' which would only have been triggered when val < 0, due to a preceding test for 0. Fixed by using an unsigned type for cwnd (as in TCP) instead.

2006-12-02[DCCP] CCID2: Code optimizationsAndrea Bittau1-0/+1
These are code optimizations which are relevant when dealing with large windows. They are not coded the way I would like to, but they do the job for the short-term. This patch should be more neat. Commiter note: Changed the seqno comparisions to use {after,before}48 to handle wrapping.

2006-09-22[DCCP] CCID2: Halve cwnd once upon multiple losses in a single RTTAndrea Bittau1-0/+1
When multiple losses occur in one RTT, the window should be halved only once [a single "congestion event"]. This is now implemented, although not perfectly. Slightly changed the interface for changing the cwnd: pass hctx instead of dp. This is required in order to allow for change_cwnd to be called from _init().

2006-09-22[DCCP] CCID2: Allocate seq records on demandAndrea Bittau1-1/+5
Allocate more sequence state on demand. Each time a packet is sent out by CCID2, a record of it needs to be kept. This list of records grows proportionally to cwnd. Previously, the length of this list was hardcored and therefore the cwnd could only grow to this value (of 128). Now, records are allocated on demand as necessary---cwnd may grow as it wishes. The exceptional case of when memory is not available is not handled gracefully. Perhaps, cwnd should be capped at that point.

2006-09-22[DCCP] CCID2: Initialize ssthresh to infinityAndrea Bittau1-1/+1
Initialize the slow-start threshold to infinity. This way, upon connection initiation, slow-start will be exited only upon a packet loss. This patch will allow connections to quickly gain speed.

2006-03-20[DCCP] CCID: Improve CCID infrastructureArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+16
1. No need for ->ccid_init nor ->ccid_exit, this is what module_{init,exit} does and anynways neither ccid2 nor ccid3 were using it. 2. Rename struct ccid to struct ccid_operations and introduce struct ccid with a pointer to ccid_operations and rigth after it the rx or tx private state. 3. Remove the pointer to the state of the half connections from struct dccp_sock, now its derived thru ccid_priv() from the ccid pointer. Now we also can implement the setsockopt for changing the CCID easily as no ccid init routines can affect struct dccp_sock in any way that prevents other CCIDs from working if a CCID switch operation is asked by apps.

Original work by Andrea Bittau, Arnaldo Melo cleaned up and fixed several issues on the merge process. For now CCID2 was turned the default for all SOCK_DCCP connections, but this will be remedied soon with the merge of the feature negotiation code.
