dccp ccid-3: remove buggy RTT-sampling history lookup

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.

dccp ccid-3: Update the RX history records in one place

This patch is a requirement for enabling ECN support later on. With that change
in mind, the following preparations are done:
* renamed handle_loss() into congestion_event() since it returns true when a
congestion event happens (it will eventually also take care of ECN packets);
* lets tfrc_rx_congestion_event() always update the RX history records, since
this routine needs to be called for each non-duplicate packet anyway;
* made all involved boolean-type functions to have return type `bool';

Updating the RX history records is now only necessary for the packets received
up to sending the first feedback. The receiver code becomes again simpler.

# 68c89ee5 03-Sep-2008 Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

dccp ccid-3: Update the computation of X_recv

This updates the computation of X_recv with regard to Errata 610/611 for
RFC 4342 and draft rfc3448bis-06, ensuring that at least an interval of 1
RTT is used to compute X_recv. The change is wrapped into a new function
ccid3_hc_rx_x_recv().

Further changes:
----------------
* feedback is not sent when no data packets arrived (bytes_recv == 0), as per
rfc3448bis-06, 6.2;
* take the timestamp for the feedback /after/ dccp_send_ack() returns, to avoid
taking the transmission time into account (in case layer-2 is busy);
* clearer handling of failure in ccid3_first_li().

# 22338f09 03-Sep-2008 Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

dccp tfrc: Increase number of RTT samples

This improves the receiver RTT sampling algorithm so that it tries harder to get
as many RTT samples as possible.

The algorithm is based the concepts presented in RFC 4340, 8.1, using timestamps
and the CCVal window counter. There exist 4 cases for the CCVal difference:
* == 0: less than RTT/4 passed since last packet -- unusable;
* > 4: (much) more than 1 RTT has passed since last packet -- also unusable;
* == 4: perfect sample (exactly one RTT has passed since last packet);
* 1..3: sub-optimal sample (between RTT/4 and 3*RTT/4 has passed).

In the last case the algorithm tried to optimise by storing away the candidate
and then re-trying next time. The problem is that
* a large number of samples is needed to smooth out the inaccuracies of the
algorithm;
* the sender may not be sending enough packets to warrant a "next time";
* hence it is better to use suboptimal samples whenever possible.
The algorithm now stores away the current sample only if the difference is 0.

Applicability and background
----------------------------
A realistic example is MP3 streaming where packets are sent at a rate of less
than one packet per RTT, which means that suitable samples are absent for a
very long time.

The effectiveness of using suboptimal samples (with a delta between 1 and 4) was
confirmed by instrumenting the algorithm with counters. The results of two 20
second test runs were:
* With the old algorithm and a total of 38442 function calls, only 394 of these
calls resulted in usable RTT samples (about 1%), and 378 out of these were
"perfect" samples and 28013 (unused) samples had a delta of 1..3.
* With the new algorithm and a total of 37057 function calls, 1702 usable RTT
samples were retrieved (about 4.6%), 5 out of these were "perfect" samples.

# 2b81143a 03-Sep-2008 Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

dccp ccid-3: Always perform receiver RTT sampling

This updates the CCID-3 receiver in part with regard to errata 610 and 611
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_list.php), which change RFC 4342 to use the
Receive Rate as specified in rfc3448bis, requiring to constantly sample the
RTT (or use a sender RTT).

Doing this requires reusing the RX history structure after dealing with a loss.

The patch does not resolve how to compute X_recv if the interval is less
than 1 RTT. A FIXME has been added (and is resolved in subsequent patch).

Furthermore, since this is all TFRC-based functionality, the RTT estimation
is now also performed by the dccp_tfrc_lib module. This further simplifies
the CCID-3 code.

# 34a081be 03-Sep-2008 Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

dccp tfrc: Let dccp_tfrc_lib do the sampling work

This migrates more TFRC-related code into the dccp_tfrc_lib:
* sampling of the packet size `s' (which is only needed until the first
loss interval is computed (ccid3_first_li));
* updating the byte-counter `bytes_recvd' in between sending feedbacks.
The result is a better separation of CCID-3 specific and TFRC specific
code, which aids future integration with ECN and e.g. CCID-4.

Further changes:
----------------
* replaced magic number of 536 with equivalent constant TCP_MIN_RCVMSS;
(this constant is also used when no estimate for `s' is available).

# 3ca7aea0 03-Sep-2008 Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

dccp tfrc: Return type of update_i_mean is void

This changes the return type of tfrc_lh_update_i_mean() to void, since that
function returns always `false'. This is due to

len = dccp_delta_seqno(cur->li_seqno, DCCP_SKB_CB(skb)->dccpd_seq) + 1;

if (len - (s64)cur->li_length <= 0) /* duplicate or reordered */
return 0;

which means that update_i_mean can only increase the length of the open loss
interval I_0, and hence the value of I_tot0 (RFC 3448, 5.4). Consequently the
test `i_mean < old_i_mean' at the end of the function always evaluates to false.

There is no known way by which a loss interval can suddenly become shorter,
therefore the return type of the function is changed to void. (That is, under
the given circumstances step (3) in RFC 3448, 6.1 will not occur.)

Further changes:
----------------
* the function is now called from tfrc_rx_handle_loss, which is equivalent
to the previous way of calling from rx_packet_recv (it was called whenever
there was no new or pending loss, now it is also updated when there is
a pending loss - this increases the accuracy a bit);
* added a FIXME to possibly consider NDP counting as per RFC 4342 (this is
not implemented yet).

# d20ed95f 03-Sep-2008 Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

dccp tfrc: Perform early loss detection

This enables the TFRC code to begin loss detection (as soon as the module
is loaded), using the latest updates from rfc3448bis-06, 6.3.1:

* when the first data packet(s) are lost or marked, set
* X_target = s/(2*R) => f(p) = s/(R * X_target) = 2,
* corresponding to a loss rate of ~ 20.64%.

The handle_loss() function is now called right at the begin of rx_packet_recv()
and thus no longer protected against duplicates: hence a call to rx_duplicate()
has been added. Such a call makes sense now, as the previous patch initialises
the first entry with a sequence number of GSR.

# 24b8d343 03-Sep-2008 Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

dccp tfrc: Receiver history initialisation routine

This patch
1) separates history allocation and initialisation, to facilitate early
loss detection (implemented by a subsequent patch);

2) removes duplication by using the existing tfrc_rx_hist_purge() if the
allocation fails. This is now possible, since the initialisation routine
3) zeroes out the entire history before using it.

# b552c623 13-Jul-2008 Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

dccp ccid-3: Fix a loss detection bug

This fixes a bug in the logic of the TFRC loss detection:
* new_loss_indicated() should not be called while a loss is pending;
* but the code allows this;
* thus, for two subsequent gaps in the sequence space, when loss_count
has not yet reached NDUPACK=3, the loss_count is falsely reduced to 1.

To avoid further and similar problems, all loss handling and loss detection is
now done inside tfrc_rx_hist_handle_loss(), using an appropriate routine to
track new losses.

Further changes:
----------------
* added a reminder that no RX history operations should be performed when
rx_handle_loss() has identified a (new) loss, since the function takes
care of packet reordering during loss detection;
* made tfrc_rx_hist_loss_pending() bool (thanks to an earlier suggestion
by Arnaldo);
* removed unused functions.

The TFRC loss detection code used the wrong loss condition (RFC 4340, 7.7.1):
* the difference between sequence numbers s1 and s2 instead of
* the number of packets missing between s1 and s2 (one less than the distance).

Since this condition appears in many places of the code, it has been put into a
separate function, dccp_loss_free().

Further changes:
----------------
* tidied up incorrect typing (it was using `int' for u64/s64 types);
* optimised conditional statements for common case of non-reordered packets;
* rewrote comments/documentation to match the changes.

[TFRC]: Ringbuffer to track loss interval history

A ringbuffer-based implementation of loss interval history is easier to
maintain, allocate, and update.

The `swap' routine to keep the RX history sorted is due to and was written
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, simplifying an earlier macro-based variant.

Details:
* access to the Loss Interval Records via macro wrappers (with safety checks);
* simplified, on-demand allocation of entries (no extra memory consumption on
lossless links); cache allocation is local to the module / exported as service;
* provision of RFC-compliant algorithm to re-compute average loss interval;
* provision of comprehensive, new loss detection algorithm
- support for all cases of loss, including re-ordered/duplicate packets;
- waiting for NDUPACK=3 packets to fill the hole;
- updating loss records when a late-arriving packet fills a hole.

[TFRC]: New rx history code

Credit here goes to Gerrit Renker, that provided the initial implementation for
this new codebase.

I modified it just to try to make it closer to the existing API, renaming some
functions, add namespacing and fix one bug where the tfrc_rx_hist_alloc was not
freeing the allocated ring entries on the error path.

Original changeset comment from Gerrit:
-----------
This provides a new, self-contained and generic RX history service for TFRC
based protocols.

Details:
* new data structure, initialisation and cleanup routines;
* allocation of dccp_rx_hist entries local to packet_history.c,
as a service exported by the dccp_tfrc_lib module.
* interface to automatically track highest-received seqno;
* receiver-based RTT estimation (needed for instance by RFC 3448, 6.3.1);
* a generic function to test for `data packets' as per RFC 4340, sec. 7.7.

# c40616c5 05-Dec-2007 Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>

[TFRC]: Provide central source file and debug facility

This patch changes the tfrc_lib module in the following manner:

(1) a dedicated tfrc source file to call the packet history &
loss interval init/exit functions.
(2) a dedicated tfrc_pr_debug macro with toggle switch `tfrc_debug'.

Commiter note: renamed tfrc_module.c to tfrc.c, and made CONFIG_IP_DCCP_CCID3
select IP_DCCP_TFRC_LIB.

[TFRC]: Migrate TX history to singly-linked lis

This patch was based on another made by Gerrit Renker, his changelog was:

------------------------------------------------------
The patch set migrates TFRC TX history to a singly-linked list.

The details are:
* use of a consistent naming scheme (all TFRC functions now begin with `tfrc_');
* allocation and cleanup are taken care of internally;
* provision of a lookup function, which is used by the CCID TX infrastructure
to determine the time a packet was sent (in turn used for RTT sampling);
* integration of the new interface with the present use in CCID3.
------------------------------------------------------

Simplifications I did:

. removing the tfrc_tx_hist_head that had a pointer to the list head and
another for the slabcache.
. No need for creating a slabcache for each CCID that wants to use the TFRC
tx history routines, create a single slabcache when the dccp_tfrc_lib module
init routine is called.

# 20c2df83 19-Jul-2007 Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

[DCCP]: Fix CCID3

This fixes CCID3 to give much closer performance to RFC4342.

CCID3 is meant to alter sending rate based on RTT and loss.

The performance was verified against:
http://wand.net.nz/~perry/max_download.php

For example I tested with netem and had the following parameters:
Delayed Acks 1, MSS 256 bytes, RTT 105 ms, packet loss 5%.

This gives a theoretical speed of 71.9 Kbits/s. I measured across three
runs with this patch set and got 70.1 Kbits/s. Without this patchset the
average was 232 Kbits/s which means Linux can't be used for CCID3 research
properly.

I also tested with netem turned off so box just acting as router with 1.2
msec RTT. The performance with this is the same with or without the patch
at around 30 Mbit/s.

[DCCP]: Introduce dccp_tfrc_lib module with net/dccp/ccids/lib/*.c

I'll now take a look at the other proposed TFRC DCCP CCIDs to find
more code that is now in ccid3.c and move to this module, the loss
event rate, calc_X, etc most probably will be moved there.

The main goal of these changes is to pave the way for the
implementation of more TFRC based DCCP CCIDs and to shrink ccid3.c,
reducing its complexity and helping in getting it rock solid.
