[DCCP]: fix printk format warnings

2006-10-30T23:24:37Z

Fix printk format warnings: build2.out:net/dccp/ccids/ccid2.c:355: warning: long long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 3) build2.out:net/dccp/ccids/ccid2.c:360: warning: long long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 3) build2.out:net/dccp/ccids/ccid2.c:482: warning: long long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 5) build2.out:net/dccp/ccids/ccid2.c:639: warning: long long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 3) build2.out:net/dccp/ccids/ccid2.c:639: warning: long long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 4) build2.out:net/dccp/ccids/ccid2.c:674: warning: long long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 3) build2.out:net/dccp/ccids/ccid2.c:720: warning: long long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 3) Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: David S.

[DCCP]: Update documentation references.

2006-10-24T23:17:51Z

Updates the references to spec documents throughout the code, taking into account that * the DCCP, CCID 2, and CCID 3 drafts all became RFCs in March this year * RFC 1063 was obsoleted by RFC 1191 * draft-ietf-tcpimpl-pmtud-0x.txt was published as an Informational RFC, RFC 2923 on 2000-09-22. All references verified. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[DCCP]: Use constants for CCIDs

2006-09-24T21:03:41Z

With constants for CCID numbers this now uses them in some places. Signed-off-by: Ian McDonald Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

[DCCP] CCID2: Add helper functions for changing important CCID2 state

2006-09-22T22:19:42Z

Introduce methods which manipulate interesting congestion control state such as pipe and rtt estimate. This is useful for people wishing to monitor the variables of CCID and instrument the code [perhaps using Kprobes]. Personally, I am a fan of encapsulation---that justifies this change =D.

[DCCP] CCID2: Halve cwnd once upon multiple losses in a single RTT

2006-09-22T22:19:41Z

When multiple losses occur in one RTT, the window should be halved only once [a single "congestion event"]. This is now implemented, although not perfectly. Slightly changed the interface for changing the cwnd: pass hctx instead of dp. This is required in order to allow for change_cwnd to be called from _init().

[DCCP] CCID2: Allocate seq records on demand

2006-09-22T22:19:40Z

Allocate more sequence state on demand. Each time a packet is sent out by CCID2, a record of it needs to be kept. This list of records grows proportionally to cwnd. Previously, the length of this list was hardcored and therefore the cwnd could only grow to this value (of 128). Now, records are allocated on demand as necessary---cwnd may grow as it wishes. The exceptional case of when memory is not available is not handled gracefully. Perhaps, cwnd should be capped at that point.

[DCCP] CCID2: Add Kconfig option for CCID2 debug

2006-09-22T22:19:39Z

Allow the user to choose whether or not to enable CCID2 debugging via Kconfig. Signed-off-by: Andrea Bittau Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[DCCP] CCID2: Tell DCCP to quickly check whether cwnd is available

2006-09-22T22:19:39Z

If not enough cwnd is available, tell the sender to check again as soon as possible. This will increase CPU utilization (polling frequently for cwnd) but will improve network performance. That is, the sender will need to wait less before detecting the increase of cwnd. A better architecture would be for the CCID to call-back (or dequeue) from DCCP when it is able to transmit traffic -- not the other way around as it currently occurs.

[DCCP] CCID2: Initialize ssthresh to infinity

2006-09-22T22:19:11Z

Initialize the slow-start threshold to infinity. This way, upon connection initiation, slow-start will be exited only upon a packet loss. This patch will allow connections to quickly gain speed. Signed-off-by: Andrea Bittau Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[DCCP] CCID2: Fix jiffie wrap issues

2006-09-22T22:19:10Z

Jiffies are now handled correctly (I hope) in CCID2. If they wrap, no problem. Signed-off-by: Andrea Bittau Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
