From 30564e355511b434613aa42375317b5a07fc9f23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerrit Renker Date: Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:41:38 +0000 Subject: dccp ccid-2: Remove redundant sanity tests This removes the ccid2_hc_tx_check_sanity function: it is redundant. Details: The tx_check_sanity function performs three tests: 1) it checks that the circular TX list is sorted - in ascending order of sequence number (ccid2s_seq) - and time (ccid2s_sent), - in the direction from `tail' (hctx_seqt) to `head' (hctx_seqh); 2) it ensures that the entire list has the length seqbufc * CCID2_SEQBUF_LEN; 3) it ensures that pipe equals the number of packets that were not marked `acked' (ccid2s_acked) between `tail' and `head'. The following argues that each of these tests is redundant, this can be verified by going through the code. (1) is not necessary, since both time and GSS increase from one packet to the next, so that subsequent insertions in tx_packet_sent (which advance the `head' pointer) will be in ascending order of time and sequence number. In (2), the length of the list is always equal to seqbufc times CCID2_SEQBUF_LEN (set to 1024) unless allocation caused an earlier failure, because: * at initialisation (tx_init), there is one chunk of size 1024 and seqbufc=1; * subsequent calls to tx_alloc_seq take place whenever head->next == tail in tx_packet_sent; then a new chunk of size 1024 is inserted between head and tail, and seqbufc is incremented by one. To show that (3) is redundant requires looking at two cases. The `pipe' variable of the TX socket is incremented only in tx_packet_sent, and decremented in tx_packet_recv. When head == tail (TX history empty) then pipe should be 0, which is the case directly after initialisation and after a retransmission timeout has occurred (ccid2_hc_tx_rto_expire). The first case involves parsing Ack Vectors for packets recorded in the live portion of the buffer, between tail and head. For each packet marked by the receiver as received (state 0) or ECN-marked (state 1), pipe is decremented by one, so for all such packets the BUG_ON in tx_check_sanity will not trigger. The second case is the loss detection in the second half of tx_packet_recv, below the comment "Check for NUMDUPACK". The first while-loop here ensures that the sequence number of `seqp' is either above or equal to `high_ack', or otherwise equal to the highest sequence number sent so far (of the entry head->prev, as head points to the next unsent entry). The next while-loop ("while (1)") counts the number of acked packets starting from that position of seqp, going backwards in the direction from head->prev to tail. If NUMDUPACK=3 such packets were counted within this loop, `seqp' points to the last acknowledged packet of these, and the "if (done == NUMDUPACK)" block is entered next. The while-loop contained within that block in turn traverses the list backwards, from head to tail; the position of `seqp' is saved in the variable `last_acked'. For each packet not marked as `acked', a congestion event is triggered within the loop, and pipe is decremented. The loop terminates when `seqp' has reached `tail', whereupon tail is set to the position previously stored in `last_acked'. Thus, between `last_acked' and the previous position of `tail', - pipe has been decremented earlier if the packet was marked as state 0 or 1; - pipe was decremented if the packet was not marked as acked. That is, pipe has been decremented by the number of packets between `last_acked' and the previous position of `tail'. As a consequence, pipe now again reflects the number of packets which have not (yet) been acked between the new position of tail (at `last_acked') and head->prev, or 0 if head==tail. The result is that the BUG_ON condition in check_sanity will also not be triggered, hence the test (3) is also redundant. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker Signed-off-by: David S.
