d6916f87ca dccp: support for the exchange of NN options in established state 1/2
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).

f3f3abb62c dccp: Debugging functions for feature negotiation
Since all feature-negotiation processing now takes place in feat.c,
functions for producing verbose debugging output are concentrated
there.

New functions to print out values, entry records, and options are
provided, and also a macro is defined to not always have the function
name in the output line.

Thanks a lot to Wei Yongjun and Giuseppe Galeota for help and
discussion with an earlier revision of this patch.

883ca833e5 dccp: Initialisation and type-checking of feature sysctls
This patch takes care of initialising and type-checking sysctls
related to feature negotiation. Type checking is important since some
of the sysctls now directly impact the feature-negotiation process.

The sysctls are initialised with the known default values for each
feature.  For the type-checking the value constraints from RFC 4340
are used:

 * Sequence Window uses the specified Wmin=32, the maximum is ulong (4 bytes),
   tested and confirmed that it works up to 4294967295 - for Gbps speed;
 * Ack Ratio is between 0 .. 0xffff (2-byte unsigned integer);
 * CCIDs are between 0 .. 255;
 * request_retries, retries1, retries2 also between 0..255 for good measure;
 * tx_qlen is checked to be non-negative;
 * sync_ratelimit remains as before.

Notes:
------
 1. Die s@sysctl_dccp_feat@sysctl_dccp@g since the sysctls are now in feat.c.
 2. As pointed out by Arnaldo, the pattern of type-checking repeats itself in
    other places, sometimes with exactly the same kind of definitions (e.g.
    "static int zero;"). It may be a good idea (kernel janitors?) to consolidate
    type checking. For the sake of keeping the changeset small and in order not
    to affect other subsystems, I have not strived to generalise here.

b1ad00422e dccp: Processing Confirm options
Analogous to the previous patch, this adds code to interpret incoming Confirm
feature-negotiation options. Both functions operate on the feature-negotiation
list of either the request_sock (server) or the dccp_sock (client).

Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing out that it is overly restrictive to check
the entire list of confirmed SP values.

e77b8363b2 dccp: Process incoming Change feature-negotiation options
This adds/replaces code for processing incoming ChangeL/R options.
The main difference is that:
 * mandatory FN options are now interpreted inside the function
  (there are too many individual cases to do this externally);
 * the function returns an appropriate Reset code or 0,
   which is then used to fill in the data for the Reset packet.

Old code, which is no longer used or referenced, has been removed.

This extends the scope of two available functions,
encode|decode_value_var, to work up to 6 (8) bytes, to match maximum
requirements in the RFC.

These functions are going to be used both by general option processing

for TX/RX CCIDs.

feature values.

49aebc66d6 dccp: Deprecate old setsockopt framework
The previous setsockopt interface, which passed socket options via struct
dccp_so_feat, is complicated/difficult to use. Continuing to support it leads to
ugly code since the old approach did not distinguish between NN and SP values.

This patch removes the old setsockopt interface and replaces it with two new
functions to register NN/SP values for feature negotiation. 
These are essentially wrappers around the internal __feat_register functions,
with checking added to avoid

 * wrong usage (type);
 * changing values while the connection is in progress.

bd012f2e7b dccp: Basic data structure for feature negotiation
This patch prepares for the new and extended feature-negotiation
routines.

The following feature-negotiation data structures are provided:
	* a container for the various (SP or NN) values,
	* symbolic state names to track feature states,
	* an entry struct which holds all current information together,
	* elementary functions to fill in and process these structures.

Entry structs are arranged as FIFO for the following reason: RFC 4340
specifies that if multiple options of the same type are present, they
are processed in the order of their appearance in the packet; which
means that this order needs to be preserved in the local data
structure (the later insertion code also respects this order).

The struct list_head has been chosen for the following reasons: the most
frequent operations are

 * add new entry at tail (when receiving Change or setting socket
   options);
 * delete entry (when Confirm has been received);
 * deep copy of entire list (cloning from listening socket onto
   request socket).

The NN value has been set to 64 bit, which is a currently sufficient
upper limit (Sequence Window feature has 48 bit).

Thanks to Arnaldo, who contributed the streamlined layout of the entry
struct.

dd6303df09 [DCCP]: Remove unused and redundant validation functions
This removes two inlines which were both called in a single function only:

 1) dccp_feat_change() is always called with either DCCPO_CHANGE_L or DCCPO_CHANGE_R as argument
    * from dccp_set_socktopt_change() via do_dccp_setsockopt() with DCCP_SOCKOPT_CHANGE_R/L
    * from __dccp_feat_init() via dccp_feat_init() also with DCCP_SOCKOPT_CHANGE_R/L.

    Hence the dccp_feat_is_valid_type() is completely unnecessary and always returns true.

 2) Due to (1), the length test reduces to 'len >= 4', which in turn makes
    dccp_feat_is_valid_length() unnecessary.

Furthermore, the inline function dccp_feat_is_reserved() was unfolded,
since only called in a single place.

Oct 31 15:42:21 kernel: dccp_feat_change: feat change type=32 feat=5

into ones of type:

Nov  2 13:54:45 kernel: dccp_feat_change: ChangeL(CCID (1), 3)
Nov  2 13:54:45 kernel: dccp_feat_change: ChangeR(CCID (1), 3)
Nov  2 13:54:45 kernel: dccp_feat_change: ChangeL(Ack Ratio (5), 2)

Also,
	* completed the feature number list wrt RFC 4340 sec. 6.4
	* annotating which ones have been implemented so far
	* implemented rudimentary sanity checking in feat.c (FIXMEs)
	* some minor fixes

Commiter note: uninlined dccp_feat_name and dccp_feat_typename, for
               consistency with dccp_{state,packet}_name, that, BTW,
               should be compiled only if CONFIG_IP_DCCP_DEBUG is
               selected, leaving this to another cset tho. Also
               shortened dccp_feat_negotiation_debug to dccp_feat_debug.

2e2e9e92bd [DCCP]: Add sysctls to control retransmission behaviour
This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control
packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation).

It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code.

The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised
not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values.
This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet.

Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit
the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries
(also a bit like in TCP).

Lastly, added documentation of all existing DCCP sysctls.

I went to alter the default sysctl and it didn't take for new sockets.
Below patch fixes this.

I think the default is too low but it is what the DCCP spec specifies.

As a side effect of this my rx speed using iperf goes from about 2.8 Mbits/sec
to 3.5. This is still far too slow but it is a step in the right direction.

Compile tested only for IPv6 but not particularly complex change.
