* net/dccp/ccids: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTALKees Cook2013-01-111-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs. CC: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> CC: "David S.

* dccp ccid-3: use per-route RTO or TCP RTO as fallbackGerrit Renker2010-08-301-31/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* dccp: Integrate the TFRC library with DCCPGerrit Renker2009-01-041-7/+2
| | | | | | | | This patch integrates the TFRC library, which is a dependency of CCID-3 (and CCID-4), with the new use of CCIDs in the DCCP module. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* dccp: Lockless integration of CCID congestion-control pluginsGerrit Renker2009-01-041-49/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on Arnaldo's earlier patch, this patch integrates the standardised CCID congestion control plugins (CCID-2 and CCID-3) of DCCP with dccp.ko: * enables a faster connection path by eliminating the need to always go through the CCID registration lock; * updates the implementation to use only a single array whose size equals the number of configured CCIDs instead of the maximum (256); * since the CCIDs are now fixed array elements, synchronization is no longer needed, simplifying use and implementation. CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10); CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.

* [TFRC]: Provide central source file and debug facilityGerrit Renker2008-01-281-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [DCCP]: Remove redundant dependency on IP_DCCPGerrit Renker2008-01-281-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This cleans up the consequences of an earlier patch which introduced the `if IP_DCCP' clause into net/dccp/Kconfig. The CCID Kconfig menu is sourced within this clause; as a consequence, all tests of type `depends on IP_DCCP' are now redundant.

* [DCCP]: Promote CCID2 as default CCIDGerrit Renker2008-01-281-11/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses the following problems: 1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available. Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation. 2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2 (DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID). 3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a `minimum common denominator'; the specification says that: * "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints" * "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2. The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]" Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable. Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added. Discussions with Ian McDonald on this subject are gratefully acknowledged.

* [DCCP]: Use higher RTO default for CCID3Gerrit Renker2006-12-031-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TFRC nofeedback timer normally expires after the maximum of 4 RTTs and twice the current send interval (RFC 3448, 4.3). On LANs with a small RTT this can mean a high processing load and reduced performance, since then the nofeedback timer is triggered very frequently. This patch provides a configuration option to set the bound for the nofeedback timer, using as default 100 milliseconds. By setting the configuration option to 0, strict RFC 3448 behaviour can be enforced for the nofeedback timer.

* [DCCP]: Add CCID3 debug support to KconfigGerrit Renker2006-12-021-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a CCID3 debug option to the configuration menu which is missing in Kconfig, but already used by the code. CCID 2 already provides such an entry. To enable debugging, set CONFIG_IP_DCCP_CCID3_DEBUG=y NOTE: The use of ccid3_{t,r}x_state_name is safe, since now only enum values can appear.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
