This patch address some IBSS rate issues introduced or not covered
by "mac80211: eliminate IBSS warning in rate_lowest_index()" and
"cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion".
This patch:
1. Moves addition of IBSS station from
prepare_for_handlers to ieee80211_rx_bss_info when triggered from beacon
eliminating bogus supported rates.
2. Initialize properly supported rates also in IBSS merging
3. Ensure that mandatory rates are always added into supported
rates. This is needed in case when station addition is triggered from
non beacon/probe packet. Some management frames need to be sent
4. Remove initialization of supported rates from self rates. This path
was dead code after 6bc37c06bc4 and in general incorrect.

mac80211: eliminate IBSS warning in rate_lowest_index()
An IBSS station is added in prepare_for_handlers where the rate scaling was
initialized only with single rate matching the received packet.
The correct rate scale information should be updated only in
ieee80211_rx_bss_info function where beacon is parsed. Because
of coding error the rate info was left untouched.
If a beacon has triggered the connection the rate remined 1Mbps.
This patch fixes this coding error

This implements [RFC 3448, 4.5], which performs congestion avoidance behaviour
by reducing the transmit rate as the queueing delay (measured in terms of
long-term RTT) increases.
Oscillation can be turned on/off via a module option (do_osc_prev) and via sysfs
(using mode 0644), the default is off.
Overflow analysis:
------------------
* oscillation prevention is done after update_x(), so that t_ipi <= 64000;
* hence the multiplication "t_ipi * sqrt(R_sample)" needs 64 bits;
* done using u64 for sqrt_sample and explicit typecast of t_ipi;
* the divisor, R_sqmean, is non-zero because oscillation prevention is first
called when receiving the second feedback packet, and tfrc_scaled_rtt() > 0.
A detailed discussion of the algorithm (with plots) is on
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/ccid3/sender_notes/oscillation_prevention/
The algorithm has negative side effects:
* when allowing to decrease t_ipi (leads to a large RTT) and
* when using it during slow-start;
both uses are therefore disabled.

This patch simplifies the computation of t_ipi, avoiding expensive computations
to enforce the minimum sending rate.
Both RFC 3448 and rfc3448bis (revision #06), as well as RFC 4342 sec 5., require
at various stages that at least one packet must be sent per t_mbi = 64 seconds.
This requires frequent divisions of the type X_min = s/t_mbi, which are later
converted back into an inter-packet-interval t_ipi_max = s/X_min = t_mbi.
The patch removes the expensive indirection; in the unlikely case of having
a sending rate less than one packet per 64 seconds, it also re-adjusts X.
The following cases document conformance with RFC 3448 / rfc3448bis-06:
1) Time until receiving the first feedback packet:
* if the sender has no initial RTT sample then X = s/1 Bps > s/t_mbi;
* if the sender has an initial RTT sample or when the first feedback
packet is received, X = W_init/R > s/t_mbi.
2) Slow-start (p == 0 and feedback packets come in):
* RFC 3448 (current code) enforces a minimum of s/R > s/t_mbi;
* rfc3448bis (future code) enforces an even higher minimum of W_init/R.
3) Congestion avoidance with no absence of feedback (p > 0):
* when X_calc or X_recv/2 are too low, the minimum of X_min = s/t_mbi
is enforced in update_x() when calling update_send_interval();
* update_send_interval() is, as before, only called when X changes
(i.e. either when increasing or decreasing, not when in equilibrium).
4) Reduction of X without prior feedback or during slow-start (p==0):
* both RFC 3448 and rfc3448bis here halve X directly;
* the associated constraint X >= s/t_mbi is nforced here by send_interval().
5) Reduction of X when p > 0:
* X is modified indirectly via X_recv (RFC 3448) or X_recv_set (rfc3448bis);
* in both cases, control goes back to section 4.3 (in both documents);
* since p > 0, both documents use X = max(min(...), s/t_mbi), which is
enforced in this patch by calling send_interval() from update_x().
I think that this analysis is exhaustive. Should I have forgotten a case,
the worst-case consideration arises when X sinks below s/t_mbi, and is then
increased back up to this minimum value. Even under this assumption, the
behaviour is correct, since all lower limits of X in RFC 3448 / rfc3448bis
are either equal to or greater than s/t_mbi.
Note on the condition X >= s/t_mbi <==> t_ipi = s/X <= t_mbi: since X is
scaled by 64, and all time units are in microseconds, the coded condition is:
t_ipi = s * 64 * 10^6 usec / X <= 64 * 10^6 usec
This simplifies to s / X <= 1 second <==> X * 1 second >= s > 0.
(A zero `s' is not allowed by the CCID-3 code).
Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
rfc3448bis allows three different ways of tracking the packet size `s':
1. using the MSS/MPS (at initialisation, 4.2, and in 4.1 (1));
2. using the average of `s' (in 4.1);
3. using the maximum of `s' (in 4.2).
Instead of hard-coding a single interpretation of rfc3448bis, this implements
a choice of all three alternatives and suggests the first as default, since it
is the option which is most consistent with other parts of the specification.
The patch further deprecates the update of t_ipi whenever `s' changes. The
gains of doing this are only small since a change of s takes effect at the
next instant X is updated:
* when the next feedback comes in (within one RTT or less);
* when the nofeedback timer expires (within at most 4 RTTs).
Further, there are complications caused by updating t_ipi whenever s changes:
* if t_ipi had previously been updated to effect oscillation prevention (4.5),
then it is impossible to make the same adjustment to t_ipi again, thus
counter-acting the algorithm;
* s may be updated any time and a modification of t_ipi depends on the current
state (e.g. no oscillation prevention is done in the absence of feedback);
* in rev-06 of rfc3448bis, there are more possible cases, depending on whether
the sender is in slow-start (t_ipi <= R/W_init), or in congestion-avoidance,
limited by X_recv or the throughput equation (t_ipi <= t_mbi).
Thus there are side effects of always updating t_ipi as s changes. These may not
be desirable. The only case I can think of where such an update makes sense is
to recompute X_calc when p > 0 and when s changes (not done by this patch).

The per-CCID menu has several dependencies on EXPERIMENTAL. These are redundant,
since net/dccp/ccids/Kconfig is sourced by net/dccp/Kconfig and since the
latter menu in turn asserts a dependency on EXPERIMENTAL.
The patch removes the redundant dependencies as well as the repeated reference
within the sub-menu.
Further changes:
----------------
Two single dependencies on CCID-3 are replaced with a single enclosing `if'.
Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
The patch updates CCID-3 with regard to the latest rfc3448bis-06:
* in the first revisions of the draft, MSS was used for the RFC 3390 window;
* then (from revision #1 to revision #2), it used the packet size `s';
* now, in this revision (and apparently final), the value is back to MSS.
This change has an implication for the case when no RTT sample is available,
at the time of sending the first packet:
* with RTT sample, 2*MSS/RTT <= initial_rate <= 4*MSS/RTT;
* without RTT sample, the initial rate is one packet (s bytes) per second
(sec. 4.2), but using s instead of MSS here creates an imbalance, since
this would further reduce the initial sending rate.
Hence the patch uses MSS (called MPS in RFC 4340) in all places.

This patch is a requirement for enabling ECN support later on. With that change
in mind, the following preparations are done:
* renamed handle_loss() into congestion_event() since it returns true when a
congestion event happens (it will eventually also take care of ECN packets);
* lets tfrc_rx_congestion_event() always update the RX history records, since
this routine needs to be called for each non-duplicate packet anyway;
* made all involved boolean-type functions to have return type `bool';
Updating the RX history records is now only necessary for the packets received
up to sending the first feedback. The receiver code becomes again simpler.

This updates the computation of X_recv with regard to Errata 610/611 for

RTT is used to compute X_recv. The change is wrapped into a new function
ccid3_hc_rx_x_recv().
Further changes:
----------------
* feedback is not sent when no data packets arrived (bytes_recv == 0), as per
rfc3448bis-06, 6.2;
* take the timestamp for the feedback /after/ dccp_send_ack() returns, to avoid
taking the transmission time into account (in case layer-2 is busy);

This improves the receiver RTT sampling algorithm so that it tries harder to get
as many RTT samples as possible.
The algorithm is based the concepts presented in RFC 4340, 8.1, using timestamps
and the CCVal window counter. There exist 4 cases for the CCVal difference:
* == 0: less than RTT/4 passed since last packet -- unusable;
* > 4: (much) more than 1 RTT has passed since last packet -- also unusable;
* == 4: perfect sample (exactly one RTT has passed since last packet);
* 1..3: sub-optimal sample (between RTT/4 and 3*RTT/4 has passed).
In the last case the algorithm tried to optimise by storing away the candidate
and then re-trying next time. The problem is that
* a large number of samples is needed to smooth out the inaccuracies of the
algorithm;
* the sender may not be sending enough packets to warrant a "next time";
* hence it is better to use suboptimal samples whenever possible.
The algorithm now stores away the current sample only if the difference is 0.
Applicability and background
----------------------------
A realistic example is MP3 streaming where packets are sent at a rate of less
than one packet per RTT, which means that suitable samples are absent for a
very long time.
The effectiveness of using suboptimal samples (with a delta between 1 and 4) was
confirmed by instrumenting the algorithm with counters. The results of two 20
second test runs were:
* With the old algorithm and a total of 38442 function calls, only 394 of these
calls resulted in usable RTT samples (about 1%), and 378 out of these were
"perfect" samples and 28013 (unused) samples had a delta of 1..3.
* With the new algorithm and a total of 37057 function calls, 1702 usable RTT
samples were retrieved (about 4.6%), 5 out of these were "perfect" samples.

This extracts the clamping part of dccp_sample_rtt() and makes it available
to other parts of the code (as e.g. used in the next patch).
Note: The function dccp_sample_rtt() now reduces to subtracting the elapsed
time. This could be eliminated but would require shorter prefixes and thus
is not done by this patch - maybe an idea for later.

This updates the CCID-3 receiver in part with regard to errata 610 and 611
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_list.php), which change RFC 4342 to use the
Receive Rate as specified in rfc3448bis, requiring to constantly sample the
RTT (or use a sender RTT).
Doing this requires reusing the RX history structure after dealing with a loss.
The patch does not resolve how to compute X_recv if the interval is less
than 1 RTT. A FIXME has been added (and is resolved in subsequent patch).
Furthermore, since this is all TFRC-based functionality, the RTT estimation
is now also performed by the dccp_tfrc_lib module. This further simplifies
the CCID-3 code.
Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
The only state information that the CCID-3 receiver keeps is whether initial
feedback has been sent or not. Further, this overlaps with use of feedback:
* state == TFRC_RSTATE_NO_DATA as long as no feedback has been sent;
* state == TFRC_RSTATE_DATA as soon as the first feedback has been sent.
This patch reduces the duplication, by memorising the type of the last feedback.
