Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the
partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons.
MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)
Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic
regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and
use a full 32-bit sequence number.
For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

This patch causes CCID-2 to check the Ack Ratio after reducing the congestion
window. If the Ack Ratio is greater than the congestion window, it is
reduced. This prevents timeouts caused by an Ack Ratio larger than the
congestion window.
In this situation, we choose to set the Ack Ratio to half the congestion window
(or one if that's zero) so that if we loose one ack we don't trigger a timeout.

This patch fixes an issue where CCID-2 will not increase the congestion
window for numerous RTTs after an idle period, application-limited period,
or a loss once the algorithm is in Congestion Avoidance.
What happens is that, when CCID-2 is in Congestion Avoidance mode, it will
increase hc->tx_packets_acked by one for every packet and will increment cwnd
every cwnd packets. However, if there is now an idle period in the connection,
cwnd will be reduced, possibly below the slow start threshold. This will
cause the connection to go into Slow Start. However, in Slow Start CCID-2
performs this test to increment cwnd every second ack:
++hc->tx_packets_acked == 2
Unfortunately, this will be incorrect, if cwnd previous to the idle period
was larger than 2 and if tx_packets_acked was close to cwnd. For example:
cwnd=50 and tx_packets_acked=45.
In this case, the current code, will increment tx_packets_acked until it
equals two, which will only be once tx_packets_acked (an unsigned 32-bit
integer) overflows.
My fix is simply to change that test for tx_packets_acked greater than or
equal to two in slow start.

Add a check to prevent CCID-2 from increasing the cwnd greater than the
Sequence Window.
When the congestion window becomes bigger than the Sequence Window, CCID-2
will attempt to keep more data in the network than the DCCP Sequence Window
code considers possible. This results in the Sequence Window code issuing
a Sync, thereby inducing needless overhead. Further, if this occurs at the
sender, CCID-2 will never detect the problem because the Acks it receives
will indicate no losses. I have seen this cause a drop of 1/3rd in throughput
for a connection.
Also add code to adjust the Sequence Window to be about 5 times the number of
packets in the network (RFC 4340, 7.5.2) and to adjust the Ack Ratio so that
the remote Sequence Window will hold about 5 times the number of packets in
the network. This allows the congestion window to increase correctly without
being limited by the Sequence Window.

This uses the new feature-negotiation framework to signal Ack Ratio changes,
as required by RFC 4341, sec. 6.1.2.
That raises some problems with CCID-2, which at the moment can not cope
gracefully with Ack Ratios > 1. Since these issues are not directly related
to feature negotiation, they are marked by a FIXME.

In contrast to static feature negotiation at the begin of a connection, this
patch introduces support for exchange of dynamically changing options.
Such an update/exchange is necessary in at least two cases:
* CCID-2's Ack Ratio (RFC 4341, 6.1.2) which changes during the connection;
* Sequence Window values that, as per RFC 4340, 7.5.2, should be sent "as
the connection progresses".
Both are non-negotiable (NN) features, which means that no new capabilities
are negotiated, but rather that changes in known parameters are brought
up-to-date at either end.
Thse characteristics are reflected by the implementation:
* only NN options can be exchanged after connection setup;
* an ack is scheduled directly after activation to speed up the update;
* CCIDs may request changes to an NN feature even if a negotiation for that
feature is already underway: this is required by CCID-2, where changes in
cwnd necessitate Ack Ratio changes, such that the previous Ack Ratio (which
is still being negotiated) would cause irrecoverable RTO timeouts (thanks
to work by Samuel Jero).

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.

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'.

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.

A length of zero (after subtracting two for the type and len fields) for
the DCCPO_{CHANGE,CONFIRM}_{L,R} options will cause an underflow due to
the subtraction. The subsequent code may read past the end of the

of this might be, but it's probably not good.

We lack proper synchronization to manipulate inet->opt ip_options
Problem is ip_make_skb() calls ip_setup_cork() and
ip_setup_cork() possibly makes a copy of ipc->opt (struct ip_options),
without any protection against another thread manipulating inet->opt.
Another thread can change inet->opt pointer and free old one under us.
Use RCU to protect inet->opt (changed to inet->inet_opt).
Instead of handling atomic refcounts, just copy ip_options when
necessary, to avoid cache line dirtying.
We cant insert an rcu_head in struct ip_options since its included in
skb->cb[], so this patch is large because I had to introduce a new
ip_options_rcu structure.

These functions are used together as a unit for route resolution
during connect(). They address the chicken-and-egg problem that
exists when ports need to be allocated during connect() processing,
yet such port allocations require addressing information from the
routing code.
It's currently more heavy handed than it needs to be, and in
particular we allocate and initialize a flow object twice.
Let the callers provide the on-stack flow object. That way we only
need to initialize it once in the ip_route_connect() call.
Later, if ip_route_newports() needs to do anything, it re-uses that
flow object as-is except for the ports which it updates before the
route re-lookup.
Also, describe why this set of facilities are needed and how it works
in a big comment.

Route lookups follow a general pattern in the ipv6 code wherein
we first find the non-IPSEC route, potentially override the
flow destination address due to ipv6 options settings, and then
finally make an IPSEC search using either xfrm_lookup() or
__xfrm_lookup().
__xfrm_lookup() is used when we want to generate a blackhole route
if the key manager needs to resolve the IPSEC rules (in this case
-EREMOTE is returned and the original 'dst' is left unchanged).
Otherwise plain xfrm_lookup() is used and when asynchronous IPSEC
resolution is necessary, we simply fail the lookup completely.
All of these cases are encapsulated into two routines,
ip6_dst_lookup_flow and ip6_sk_dst_lookup_flow. The latter of which
handles unconnected UDP datagram sockets.

ip_route_newports() is the only place in the entire kernel that
cares about the port members in the routing cache entry's lookup
flow key.
Therefore the only reason we store an entire flow inside of the
struct rtentry is for this one special case.
Rewrite ip_route_newports() such that:
1) The caller passes in the original port values, so we don't need
to use the rth->fl.fl_ip_{s,d}port values to remember them.
2) The lookup flow is constructed by hand instead of being copied
from the routing cache entry's flow.
