Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2010 07:41:35 +0200 From: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@....abdn.ac.uk> To: davem@...emloft.net Cc: dccp@...r.kernel.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: netdev-2.6 [PATCH 0/5] dccp: ccid-2/3 code clean up; TCP RTT estimator Dear Dave, please would you consider consider the following DCCP CCID-2/3 set (applies to netdev-2.6): it does code clean-up and adds a better RTO estimation to CCID-2. Patch #1: aggregates the cosmetic changes (whitespace, documentation etc.). Patch #2: removes redundant test for CCID block in LISTEN state. As a byproduct of integrating the feature-negotiation changeset last year, that test is now redundant, simplifying the code. Patch #3: removes a sanity-check function from CCID-2 and provides a (lengthy) explanation why this test is indeed redundant. Patch #4: simplifies and consolidates the code to rearm the CCID-2 RTO timer. Patch #5: replaces the broken CCID-2 RTT estimator algorithm with a better one ('better' means "stolen from the TCP code", this was not done blindly but as a result of testing, it may even be possible to later share the RTT estimation code between TCP and CCID-2). All patches have been in the test tree at git://eden-feed.erg.abdn.ac.uk for more than 2 years and compile independently. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
