Similarly to commit 276bdb82dedb ("dccp: check ccid before dereferencing")
it is wise to test for a NULL ccid.

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

ccid_hc_rx_getsockopt() and ccid_hc_tx_getsockopt() might be called with
a NULL ccid pointer leading to a NULL pointer dereference. This could
lead to a privilege escalation if the attacker is able to map page 0 and
prepare it with a fake ccid_ops pointer.

<title>dccp: Return-value convention of hc_tx_send_packet()</title>

<id>fe84f4140f0d24deca8591e38926b95cfd097e62</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch reorganises the return value convention of the CCID TX sending
function, to permit more flexible schemes, as required by subsequent patches.

Currently the convention is
 * values &lt; 0     mean error,
 * a value == 0   means "send now", and
 * a value x &gt; 0  means "send in x milliseconds".

The patch provides symbolic constants and a function to interpret return values.

In addition, it caps the maximum positive return value to 0xFFFF milliseconds,
corresponding to 65.535 seconds.  This is possible since in CCID-3/4 the
maximum possible inter-packet gap is fixed at t_mbi = 64 sec.

This removes the argument `more' from ccid_hc_tx_packet_sent, since it was
nowhere used in the entire code.

(Btw, this argument was not even used in the original KAME code where the
 function initially came from; compare the variable moreToSend in the
 freebsd61-dccp-kame-28.08.2006.patch kept by Emmanuel Lochin.)

<title>dccp: Add packet type information to CCID-specific option parsing</title>

This
 1. adds packet type information to ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This is
    necessary, since table 3 in RFC 4340, 5.8 leaves it to the CCIDs to state
    which options may (not) appear on what packet type.

 2. adds such a check for CCID-3's {Loss Event, Receive} Rate as specified in
    RFC 4340 8.3 ("Receive Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets")
    and 8.5 ("Loss Event Rate options MUST NOT be sent on DCCP-Data packets").

 3. removes an unused argument `idx' from ccid_hc_{rx,tx}_parse_options(). This
    is also no longer necessary, since the CCID-specific option-parsing routines
    are passed every single parameter of the type-length-value option encoding.

This fixes a bug introduced in commit de4ef86cfce60d2250111f34f8a084e769f23b16
("dccp: fix dccp rmmod when kernel configured to use slub", 17 Jan): the
vsnprintf used sizeof(slab_name_fmt), which became truncated to 4 bytes, since
slab_name_fmt is now a 4-byte pointer and no longer a 32-character array.

This lead to error messages such as
 FATAL: Error inserting dccp: No buffer space available

 &gt;&gt; kernel: [ 1456.341501] kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache cci
generated due to the truncation after the 3rd character.

Fixed for the moment by introducing a symbolic constant. Tested to fix the bug.

Hey all-
	I was tinkering with dccp recently and noticed that I BUG halted the
kernel when I rmmod-ed the dccp module.  The bug halt occured because the page
that I passed to kfree failed the PageCompound and PageSlab test in the slub
implementation of kfree.  I tracked the problem down to the following set of
events:

1) dccp, unlike all other uses of kmem_cache_create, allocates a string
dynamically when registering a slab cache.  This allocated string is freed when
the cache is destroyed.

2) Normally, (1) is not an issue, but when Slub is in use, it is possible that
caches are 'merged'.  This process causes multiple caches of simmilar
configuration to use the same cache data structure.  When this happens, the new
name of the cache is effectively dropped.

3) (2) results in kmem_cache_name returning an ambigous value (i.e.
ccid_kmem_cache_destroy, which uses this fuction to retrieve the name pointer
for freeing), is no longer guaranteed that the string it assigned is what is
returned.

4) If such merge event occurs, ccid_kmem_cache_destroy frees the wrong pointer,
which trips over the BUG in the slub implementation of kfree (since its likely
not a slab allocation, but rather a pointer into the static string table
section.

So, what to do about this.  At first blush this is pretty clearly a leak in the
information that slub owns, and as such a slub bug.  Unfortunately, theres no
really good way to fix it, without exposing slub specific implementation details
to the generic slab interface.  Also, even if we could fix this in slub cleanly,
I think the RCU free option would force us to do lots of string duplication, not
only in slub, but in every slab allocator.  As such, I'd like to propose this
solution.  Basically, I just move the storage for the kmem cache name to the
ccid_operations structure.  In so doing, we don't have to do the kstrdup or
kfree when we allocate/free the various caches for dccp, and so we avoid the
problem, by storing names with static memory, rather than heap, the way all
other calls to kmem_cache_create do.

I've tested this out myself here, and it solves the problem quite well.

This patch cleans up after integrating the CCID modules and, in addition,

 * moves the if/else cases from ccid_delete() into ccid_hc_{tx,rx}_delete();
 * removes the 'gfp' argument to ccid_new() - since it is always gfp_any().

<content type='text'>
Based on Arnaldo's earlier patch, this patch integrates the standardised
CCID congestion control plugins (CCID-2 and CCID-3) of DCCP with dccp.ko:

 * enables a faster connection path by eliminating the need to always go 
   through the CCID registration lock;

 * updates the implementation to use only a single array whose size equals
   the number of configured CCIDs instead of the maximum (256);

 * since the CCIDs are now fixed array elements, synchronization is no
   longer needed, simplifying use and implementation.

CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10);
CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.
