2011-12-19module_param: make bool parameters really bool (net & drivers/net)Rusty Russell
module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version. (Thanks to Joe Perches for suggesting coccinelle for 0/1 -> true/false). Cc: "David S.

2010-09-21dccp tfrc/ccid-3: computing the loss rate from the Loss Event RateGerrit Renker
This adds a function to take care of the following, separate cases occurring in the computation of the Loss Rate p: * 1/(2^32-1) is mapped into 0% as per RFC 4342, 8.5; * 1/0 is mapped into 100%, the maximum; * to avoid that p = 1/x is rounded down to 0 when x is very large, since this means accidentally re-entering slow-start indicated by p == 0, the minimum resolution value of p is now returned instead; * a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed: 1/0 was mapped into ~0U.

2009-09-14net-next-2.6 [PATCH 1/1] dccp: ccids whitespace-cleanup / CodingStyleGerrit Renker
No code change, cosmetical changes only: * whitespace cleanup via scripts/cleanfile, * remove self-references to filename at top of files, * fix coding style (extraneous brackets), * fix documentation style (kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO). Thanks are due to Ivo Augusto Calado who raised these issues by submitting good-quality patches. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-01-04dccp: Integrate the TFRC library with DCCPGerrit Renker
This patch integrates the TFRC library, which is a dependency of CCID-3 (and CCID-4), with the new use of CCIDs in the DCCP module. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-06-11dccp ccid-3: X truncated due to type conversionGerrit Renker
This fixes a bug in computing the inter-packet-interval t_ipi = s/X: scaled_div32(a, b) uses u32 for b, but in "scaled_div32(s, X)" the type of the sending rate `X' is u64. Since X is scaled by 2^6, this truncates rates greater than 2^26 Bps (~537 Mbps). Using full 64-bit division now. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
2008-06-11dccp: Fix sparse warningsGerrit Renker
This patch fixes the following sparse warnings: * nested min(max()) expression: net/dccp/ccids/ccid3.c:91:21: warning: symbol '__x' shadows an earlier one net/dccp/ccids/ccid3.c:91:21: warning: symbol '__y' shadows an earlier one * Declaration of function prototypes in .c instead of .h file, resulting in "should it be static?" warnings. * Declared "struct dccpw" static (local to dccp_probe). * Disabled dccp_delayed_ack() - not fully removed due to RFC 4340, 11.3 ("Receivers SHOULD implement delayed acknowledgement timers ..."). * Used a different local variable name to avoid net/dccp/ackvec.c:293:13: warning: symbol 'state' shadows an earlier one net/dccp/ackvec.c:238:33: originally declared here * Removed unused functions `dccp_ackvector_print' and `dccp_ackvec_print'.

2008-01-28[TFRC]: Ringbuffer to track loss interval historyGerrit Renker
A ringbuffer-based implementation of loss interval history is easier to maintain, allocate, and update. The `swap' routine to keep the RX history sorted is due to and was written by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, simplifying an earlier macro-based variant. Details: * access to the Loss Interval Records via macro wrappers (with safety checks); * simplified, on-demand allocation of entries (no extra memory consumption on lossless links); cache allocation is local to the module / exported as service; * provision of RFC-compliant algorithm to re-compute average loss interval; * provision of comprehensive, new loss detection algorithm - support for all cases of loss, including re-ordered/duplicate packets; - waiting for NDUPACK=3 packets to fill the hole; - updating loss records when a late-arriving packet fills a hole.

2008-01-28[TFRC]: Provide central source file and debug facilityGerrit Renker
This patch changes the tfrc_lib module in the following manner: (1) a dedicated tfrc source file to call the packet history & loss interval init/exit functions. (2) a dedicated tfrc_pr_debug macro with toggle switch `tfrc_debug'. Commiter note: renamed tfrc_module.c to tfrc.c, and made CONFIG_IP_DCCP_CCID3 select IP_DCCP_TFRC_LIB.

2008-01-28[CCID3]: Inline for moving averageGerrit Renker
The moving average computation occurs so frequently in the CCID 3 code that it merits an inline function of its own.

2006-12-11[DCCP]: Simplify TFRC calculationGerrit Renker
In migrating towards using the newer functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 for TFRC computations mapped from floating-point onto integer arithmetic, this completes the last stage of modifications. In particular, the overflow case for computing X_calc is circumvented by * breaking the computation into two stages * the first stage, res = (s*1E6)/R, cannot overflow due to use of u64 * in the second stage, res = (res*1E6)/f, overflow on u32 is avoided due to (i) returning UINT_MAX in this case (which is logically appropriate) and (ii) issuing a warning message into the system log (since very likely there is a problem somewhere else with the parameters) Lastly, all such scaling operations are now exported into tfrc.h, since actually this form of scaled computation is specific to TFRC and not to CCID3.
