Gerrit Renker 0f9e5b573f [DCCP]: Debug timeval operations
Problem:

 Most target types in the CCID3 code are u32, so subtle conversion errors
 can occur if signed time calculations yield negative results: the original
 values are lost in the conversion to unsigned, calculation errors go undetected.

 This patch therefore
   * sets all critical time types from unsigned to suseconds_t
   * avoids comparison between signed/unsigned via type-casting
   * provides ample warning messages in case time calculations are negative

 These warning messages can be removed at a later stage when the code
 has undergone more testing.

Gerrit Renker bfe24a6cc2 [DCCP] ccid3: Simplify calculation for reverse lookup of p
This simplifies the calculation of a value p for a given fval when the
 first loss interval is computed (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). It makes use of the
 two new functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 to provide overflow protection.

 Additionally, protection against divide-by-zero is extended - in this
 case the function will return the maximally possible value of p=100%.

Background:

 The maximum fval, f(100%), is approximately 244, i.e. the scaled value of fval
 should never exceed 244E6, which fits easily into u32. The problem is the scaling
 by 10^6, since additionally R(TT) is in microseconds.
 This is resolved by breaking the division into two stages: the first stage
 computes fval=(s*10^6)/R, stores that into u64; the second stage computes
 fval = (fval*10^6)/X_recv and complains if overflow is reached for u32.
 This case is safe since the TFRC reverse-lookup routine then returns p=100%.

This replaces the remaining uses of usecs_div with scaled_div32, which
internally uses 64bit division and produces a warning on overflow.

Gerrit Renker 1a21e49a8d [DCCP] ccid3: Finer-grained resolution of sending rates
This patch
 * resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0
 * supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second
 * simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations

Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated
sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to
 * cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second)
 * allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3
 * avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off

The patch implements a revised strategy from
http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html

The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already
used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.

Gerrit Renker 179ebc9f92 [DCCP] ccid3: Fix two bugs in sending rate computation
This fixes
 1) a bug in the recomputation of the sending rate by the nofeedback
    timer when no feedback at all has so far been sent by the receiver:
    min_t was used instead of max_t, which is wrong (cf. RFC 3448, p. 10);

 2) an error in the computation of larger initial windows: instead of
    min(... max()) (cf. RFC 4342, 5.), the code had used max(... max()).

Gerrit Renker ff58629824 [DCCP] ccid3: Two optimisations for sending rate recomputation
This performs two optimisations for the recomputation of the sending rate.

1) Currently the target sending rate X_calc is recalculated whenever
	a) the nofeedback timer expires, or
	b) a feedback packet is received.
   In the (a) case, recomputing X_calc is redundant, since

    * the parameters p and RTT do not change in between the
      reception of feedback packets;

    * the parameter X_recv is either modified from received
      feedback or via the nofeedback timer;

    * a test (`p == 0') in the nofeedback timer avoids using
      a stale/undefined value of X_calc if p was previously 0.

2) The nofeedback timer now only recomputes a timestamp when p == 0.
   This is according to step (4) of [RFC 3448, 4.3] and avoids
   unnecessarily determining a timestamp.

A debug statement about not updating X is also removed - it helps very
little in debugging and just clutters the logs.

Gerrit Renker 45393a66a2 [DCCP] ccid3: Check against too large p
This patch follows a suggestion by Ian McDonald and ensures that in
the current code the value of p can not exceed 100%.  Such a value is
illegal and would consequently cause a bug condition in tfrc_calc_x().

The receiver case is also tested, and a warning message is added.

Ian McDonald 5cc3741d6c [DCCP]: Remove timeo from output.c
It simplifies waiting for the CCID module to signal that a packet
is ready to be sent.  Other simplifications flow on from this such as
removing constants.

As a result of this EAGAIN is not returned any more by dccp_wait_for_ccid
(which would otherwise lead to unnecessarily discarding the packet in
dccp_write_xmit).

Neil Horman 47bbec0282 [NETPOLL]: make arp replies through netpoll use mac address of sender
Back in 2.4 arp requests that were recevied by netpoll were processed
in netconsole_receive_skb, where they were responded to using the src
mac of the request sender.  In the 2.6 kernel arp_reply is responsible
for this function, but instead of using the src mac address of the
incomming request, the stored mac address that was registered for the
netconsole application is used.  While this is usually ok, it can lead
to failures in netpoll in some situations (specifically situations
where a network may have two gateways, as arp requests from one may be
responded to using the mac address of the other).  This patch reverts
the behavior to what we had in 2.4, in which all arp requests are sent
back using the src address of the request sender.

Alan Cox 606d099cdd [PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios
This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that
goes with the updates.  At this point we have the same functionality as
before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs

If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
setting functions from your upper layers.

If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
please fix it 8)

Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra
paranoia

Alan Cox edc6afc549 [PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios and new framework
This is the core of the switch to the new framework.  I've split it from the
driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to
give this one a good hard stare.

The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be
defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support.  The
code patches here ensure that providing

1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory
2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none)

the existing behaviour is retained.  This is true for the patches at this
point in time.

Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures
for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also
vanish.
