      net: Introduce read_pnet() and write_pnet() helpers · 8f424b5f
      Eric Dumazet authored
      This patch introduces two helpers that deal with reading and writing
      struct net pointers in various network structures.
      
      Their implementation depends on CONFIG_NET_NS
      
      For symmetry, both functions work with "struct net **pnet".
      
      Their usage should reduce the number of #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS,
      without adding many helpers for each network structure
      that hold a "struct net *pointer"

      dccp: Resolve dependencies of features on choice of CCID · 9eca0a47
      Gerrit Renker authored
      This provides a missing link in the code chain, as several features implicitly
      depend and/or rely on the choice of CCID. Most notably, this is the Send Ack Vector
      feature, but also Ack Ratio and Send Loss Event Rate (also taken care of).
      
      For Send Ack Vector, the situation is as follows:
       * since CCID2 mandates the use of Ack Vectors, there is no point in allowing 
         endpoints which use CCID2 to disable Ack Vector features such a connection;
      
       * a peer with a TX CCID of CCID2 will always expect Ack Vectors, and a peer
         with a RX CCID of CCID2 must always send Ack Vectors (RFC 4341, sec. 4);
      
       * for all other CCIDs, the use of (Send) Ack Vector is optional and thus
         negotiable. However, this implies that the code negotiating the use of Ack
         Vectors also supports it (i.e. is able to supply and to either parse or
         ignore received Ack Vectors). Since this is not the case (CCID-3 has no Ack
         Vector support), the use of Ack Vectors is here disabled, with a comment
         in the source code.
      
      An analogous consideration arises for the Send Loss Event Rate feature,
      since the CCID-3 implementation does not support the loss interval options
      of RFC 4342. To make such use explicit, corresponding feature-negotiation
      options are inserted which signal the use of the loss event rate option,
      as it is used by the CCID3 code.
      
      Lastly, the values of the Ack Ratio feature are matched to the choice of CCID.
      
      The patch implements this as a function which is called after the user has
      made all other registrations for changing default values of features.
      
      The table is variable-length, the reserved (and hence for feature-negotiation
      invalid, confirmed by considering section 19.4 of RFC 4340) feature number `0'
      is used to mark the end of the table.

      dccp: Query supported CCIDs · d90ebcbf
      Gerrit Renker authored
      This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported
      and three accessor functions:
       - a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests
         made by the user;
       - a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation;   
       - documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities.
      
      The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the
      list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices).
      
      Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for
      feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available
      CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation 
      will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.

      dccp: Registration routines for changing feature values · e8ef967a
      Gerrit Renker authored
      Two registration routines, for SP and NN features, are provided by this patch,
      replacing a previous routine which was used for both feature types.
      
      These are internal-only routines and therefore start with `__feat_register'.
      
      It further exports the known limits of Sequence Window and Ack Ratio as symbolic
      constants.

      dccp: Limit feature negotiation to connection setup phase · f74e91b6
      Gerrit Renker authored
      This patch limits feature (capability) negotation to the connection setup phase:
      
       1. Although it is theoretically possible to perform feature negotiation at any
          time (and RFC 4340 supports this), in practice this is prohibitively complex,
          as it requires to put traffic on hold for each new negotiation.
       2. As a byproduct of restricting feature negotiation to connection setup, the
          feature-negotiation retransmit timer is no longer required. This part is now
          mapped onto the protocol-level retransmission.
          Details indicating why timers are no longer needed can be found on
          http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/feature_negotiation/\
      	                                      implementation_notes.html
      
      This patch disables anytime negotiation, subsequent patches work out full
      feature negotiation support for connection setup.
