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.

This fixes a bug in the reverse lookup of p: given a value f(p), instead of p,
the function returned the smallest tabulated value f(p).

The smallest tabulated value of
	 
   10^6 * f(p) =  sqrt(2*p/3) + 12 * sqrt(3*p/8) * (32 * p^3 + p) 

for p=0.0001 is 8172. 

Since this value is scaled by 10^6, the outcome of this bug is that a loss
of 8172/10^6 = 0.8172% was reported whenever the input was below the table
resolution of 0.01%.

This means that the value was over 80 times too high, resulting in large spikes
of the initial loss interval, thus unnecessarily reducing the throughput.

Also corrected the printk format (%u for u32).

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'.

<title>dccp ccid-3: Bug-Fix - Zero RTT is possible</title>

<id>3294f202dc1acd82223e83ef59f272bd87bb06b2</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit $(825de27d9e40b3117b29a79d412b7a4b78c5d815) (from 27th May, commit
message `dccp ccid-3: Fix "t_ipi explosion" bug'), the CCID-3 window counter
computation was fixed to cope with RTTs &lt; 4 microseconds.

Such RTTs can be found e.g. when running CCID-3 over loopback. The fix removed
a check against RTT &lt; 4, but introduced a divide-by-zero bug.

All steady-state RTTs in DCCP are filtered using dccp_sample_rtt(), which
ensures non-zero samples. However, a zero RTT is possible on initialisation,
when there is no RTT sample from the Request/Response exchange.

The fix is to use the fallback-RTT from RFC 4340, 3.4.

This is also better than just fixing update_win_count() since it allows other
parts of the code to always assume that the RTT is non-zero during the time
that the CCID is used.

The identification of this bug is thanks to Cheng Wei and Tomasz
Grobelny.

To avoid divide-by-zero, the implementation previously ignored RTTs
smaller than 4 microseconds when performing integer division RTT/4.

When the RTT reached a value less than 4 microseconds (as observed on
loopback), this prevented the Window Counter CCVal value from
advancing. As a result, the receiver stopped sending feedback. This in
turn caused non-ending expiries of the nofeedback timer at the sender,
so that the sending rate was progressively reduced until reaching the
minimum of one packet per 64 seconds.

The patch fixes this bug by handling integer division more
intelligently. Due to consistent use of dccp_sample_rtt(),
divide-by-zero-RTT is avoided.

This implements the changes to the nofeedback timer handling suggested
in draft rfc3448bis00, section 4.4. In particular, these changes mean:

 * better handling of the lossless case (p == 0)
 * the timestamp for computing t_ld becomes obsolete
 * much more recent document (RFC 3448 is almost 5 years old)
 * concepts in rfc3448bis arose from a real, working implementation
