[UDP]: Clean up UDP-Lite receive checksum
This patch eliminates some duplicate code for the verification of
receive checksums between UDP-Lite and UDP. It does this by
introducing __skb_checksum_complete_head which is identical to
__skb_checksum_complete_head apart from the fact that it takes
a length parameter rather than computing the first skb->len bytes.
As a result UDP-Lite will be able to use hardware checksum offload
for packets which do not use partial coverage checksums. It also
means that UDP-Lite loopback no longer does unnecessary checksum
verification.
If any NICs start support UDP-Lite this would also start working
automatically.
This patch removes the assumption that msg_flags has MSG_TRUNC clear
upon entry in recvmsg.

[NET]: convert network timestamps to ktime_t
We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
sock.
This has some drawbacks :
- Fixed resolution of micro second.
- Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16
I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.
As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)
Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)
Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this

[TCP]: FRTO undo response falls back to ratehalving one if ECEd
Undoing ssthresh is disabled in fastretrans_alert whenever
FLAG_ECE is set by clearing prior_ssthresh. The clearing does
not protect FRTO because FRTO operates before fastretrans_alert.
Moving the clearing of prior_ssthresh earlier seems to be a
suboptimal solution to the FRTO case because then FLAG_ECE will
cause a second ssthresh reduction in try_to_open (the first
occurred when FRTO was entered). So instead, FRTO falls back
immediately to the rate halving response, which switches TCP to
CA_CWR state preventing the latter reduction of ssthresh.
If the first ECE arrived before the ACK after which FRTO is able
to decide RTO as spurious, prior_ssthresh is already cleared.
Thus no undoing for ssthresh occurs. Besides, FLAG_ECE should be
set also in the following ACKs resulting in rate halving response
that sees TCP is already in CA_CWR, which again prevents an extra
ssthresh reduction on that round-trip.
If the first ECE arrived before RTO, ssthresh has already been
adapted and prior_ssthresh remains cleared on entry because TCP
is in CA_CWR (the same applies also to a case where FRTO is
entered more than once and ECE comes in the middle).
High_seq must not be touched after tcp_enter_cwr because CWR
round-trip calculation depends on it.
I believe that after this patch, FRTO should be ECN-safe and
even able to take advantage of synergy benefits.

[TCP] FRTO: Entry is allowed only during (New)Reno like recovery
This interpretation comes from RFC4138:
"If the sender implements some loss recovery algorithm other
than Reno or NewReno [FHG04], the F-RTO algorithm SHOULD
NOT be entered when earlier fast recovery is underway."
I think the RFC means to say (especially in the light of
Appendix B) that ...recovery is underway (not just fast recovery)
or was underway when it was interrupted by an earlier (F-)RTO
that hasn't yet been resolved (snd_una has not advanced enough).
Thus, my interpretation is that whenever TCP has ever
retransmitted other than head, basic version cannot be used
because then the order assumptions which are used as FRTO basis
do not hold.
NewReno has only the head segment retransmitted at a time.
Therefore, walk up to the segment that has not been SACKed, if
that segment is not retransmitted nor anything before it, we know
for sure, that nothing after the non-SACKed segment should be
either. This assumption is valid because TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS does
not leave holes but each non-SACKed segment is rexmitted
in-order.
Check for retrans_out > 1 avoids more expensive walk through the
skb list, as we can know the result beforehand: F-RTO will not be
allowed.
SACKed skb can turn into non-SACked only in the extremely rare
case of SACK reneging, in this case we might fail to detect
retransmissions if there were them for any other than head. To
get rid of that feature, whole rexmit queue would have to be
walked (always) or FRTO should be prevented when SACK reneging
happens. Of course RTO should still trigger after reneging which
makes this issue even less likely to show up. And as long as the
response is as conservative as it's now, nothing bad happens even
then.
