      dccp ccid-2: Perform congestion-window validation · 113ced1f
      Gerrit Renker authored 
      CCID-2's cwnd increases like TCP during slow-start, which has implications for
 * the local Sequence Window value (should be > cwnd),
 * the Ack Ratio value.
Hence an exponential growth, if it does not reflect the actual network
conditions, can quickly lead to instability.

This patch adds congestion-window validation (RFC2861) to CCID-2:
 * cwnd is constrained if the sender is application limited;
 * cwnd is reduced after a long idle period, as suggested in the '90 paper
   by Van Jacobson, in RFC 2581 (sec. 4.1);
 * cwnd is never reduced below the RFC 3390 initial window.

As marked in the comments, the code is actually almost a direct copy of the
TCP congestion-window-validation algorithms. By continuing this work, it may
in future be possible to use the TCP code (not possible at the moment).

The mechanism can be turned off using a module parameter. Sampling of the
currently-used window (moving-maximum) is however done constantly; this is
used to determine the expected window, which can be exploited to regulate
DCCP's Sequence Window value.

This patch also sets slow-start-after-idle (RFC 4341, 5.1), i.e. it behaves like
TCP when net.ipv4.tcp_slow_start_after_idle = 1.

      dccp ccid-2: Use existing function to test for data packets · 58fdea0f
      Gerrit Renker authored 
      This replaces a switch statement with a test, using the equivalent
function dccp_data_packet(skb).  It also doubles the range of the field
`rx_num_data_pkts' by changing the type from `int' to `u32', avoiding
signed/unsigned comparison with the u16 field `dccps_r_ack_ratio'.

      dccp ccid-2: move rfc 3390 function into header file · b4d5f4b2
      Gerrit Renker authored 
      This moves CCID-2's initial window function into the header file, since several
parts throughout the CCID-2 code need to call it (CCID-2 still uses RFC 3390).

      dccp: combine the functionality of enqeueing and cloning · 8695e801
      Gerrit Renker authored 
      Realising the following call pattern,
 * first dccp_entail() is called to enqueue a new skb and
 * then skb_clone() is called to transmit a clone of that skb,
this patch integrates both into the same function.

      dccp: Clean up slow-path input processing · c0c20150
      Gerrit Renker authored 
      This patch rearranges the order of statements of the slow-path input processing
(i.e. any other state than OPEN), to resolve the following issues.

 1. Dependencies: the order of statements now better matches RFC 4340, 8.5, i.e.
    step 7 is before step 9 (previously 9 was before 7), and parsing options in
    step 8 (which may consume resources) now comes after step 7.
 2. Sequence number checks are omitted if in state LISTEN/REQUEST, due to the
    note underneath the table in RFC 4340, 7.5.3.
    As a result, CCID processing is now indeed confined to OPEN/PARTOPEN states,
    i.e. congestion control is performed only on the flow of data packets. This
    avoids pathological cases of doing congestion control on those messages
    which set up and terminate the connection.
 3. Packets are now passed on to Ack Vector / CCID processing only after
    - step 7  (receive unexpected packets),
    - step 9  (receive Reset),
    - step 13 (receive CloseReq),
    - step 14 (receive Close)
    and only if the state is PARTOPEN. This simplifies CCID processing:
    - in LISTEN/CLOSED the CCIDs are non-existent;
    - in RESPOND/REQUEST the CCIDs have not yet been negotiated;
    - in CLOSEREQ and active-CLOSING the node has already closed this socket;
    - in passive-CLOSING the client is waiting for its Reset.
    In the last case, RFC 4340, 8.3 leaves it open to ignore further incoming
    data, which is the approach taken here.

      net: sh_eth: remove __flush_purge_region · 31fcb99d
      Yoshihiro Shimoda authored 
      It is a function of SuperH architecture. There is no good to use
the function on a driver generally. So, the driver uses
dma_map_single() instead of __flush_purge_region.

      netpoll: Remove unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs of netpoll_poll and netpoll_poll_dev · 234b921d
      Joe Perches authored 
      Unused symbols waste space.

Commit 0e34e931
"(netpoll: add generic support for bridge and bonding devices)"
added the symbol more than a year ago with the promise of "future use".

Because it is so far unused, remove it for now.
It can be easily readded if or when it actually needs to be used.
