In case of ACK reordering, the SACK block might be valid in it's
time but is already obsoleted since we've received another kind
of confirmation about arrival of the segments through snd_una
advancement of an earlier packet.
I didn't bother to build distinguishing of valid and invalid
SACK blocks but simply made reordered SACK blocks that are too
old always not counted regardless of their "real" validity which
could be determined by using the ack field of the reordered
packet (won't be significant IMHO).
DSACKs can very well be considered useful even in this situation,
so won't do any of this for them.

The parameter `seq' of dccp_send_sync() is in fact an acknowledgement number
and not a sequence number - thus renamed by this patch into `ackno'.
Secondly, a `critical' warning is added when a Sync/SyncAck could not be sent.
Sanity: I have checked all other functions that are called in dccp_transmit_skb,
there are no clashes with the use of dccpd_ack_seq; no other function is
using this slot at the same time.

This updates sequence number checking with regard to RFC 4340, 7.5.4.
Missing in the code was an exception for sequence-invalid Reset packets,
which get a Sync acknowledging GSR, instead of (as usual) P.seqno.
This can lead to an oscillating ping-pong flood of Reset packets.
In fact, it has been observed on the wire as follows:
1. client establishes connection to server;
2. before server can write to client, client crashes without notifying
the server (NB: now no longer possible due to ABORT function);
3. server sends DCCP-Data packet (has no ackno);
4. client generates Reset "No Connection", seqno=0, increments seqno;
5. server replies with Sync, using ackno = P.seqno;
6. client generates Reset "No Connection" with seqno = ackno + 1;
7. goto (5).
The difference is that now in (5) the server uses GSR. This causes the
Reset sent by the client in (6) to become sequence-valid, so that in (7)
the vicious circle is broken; the Reset is then enqueued and causes the
socket to enter TIMEWAIT state.

The third parameter of dccp_sample_rtt now becomes useless and is removed.
Also combined the subtraction of the timestamp echo and the elapsed time.
This is safe, since (a) presence of timestamp echo is tested first and (b)
elapsed time is either present and non-zero or it is not set and equals 0
due to the memset in dccp_parse_options.
To avoid measuring option-processing time, the timestamp for measuring the
initial Request/Response RTT sample is taken directly when the function is
called (the Linux implementation always adds a timestamp on the Request,
so there is no loss in doing this).

This patch reduces the number of timestamps taken in the receive path
for each packet.
The ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() routine is called in
* the receive path for each CCID3-controlled packet
* for the nofeedback timer (if no feedback arrives during 4 RTT)
Currently, when there is no loss, each packet gets timestamped twice.
The patch resolves this by recycling the first timestamp taken on packet
reception for RTT sampling.
When the no_feedback_timer() is called, then the timestamp argument is
simply set to NULL - so that ccid3_hc_tx_update_x() takes care of the logic.

Most of the description that follows comes from my mail to
netdev (some editing done):
Main obstacle to FRTO use is its deployment as it has to be on
the sender side where as wireless link is often the receiver's
access link. Take initiative on behalf of unlucky receivers and
enable it by default in future Linux TCP senders. Also IETF
seems to interested in advancing FRTO from experimental [1].
How does FRTO help?
===================
FRTO detects spurious RTOs and avoids a number of unnecessary
retransmissions and a couple of other problems that can arise
due to incorrect guess made at RTO (i.e., that segments were
lost when they actually got delayed which is likely to occur
e.g. in wireless environments with link-layer retransmission).
Though FRTO cannot prevent the first (potentially unnecessary)
retransmission at RTO, I suspect that it won't cost that much
even if you have to pay for each bit (won't be that high
percentage out of all packets after all :-)). However, usually
when you have a spurious RTO, not only the first segment
unnecessarily retransmitted but the *whole window*. It goes like
this: all cumulative ACKs got delayed due to in-order delivery,
then TCP will actually send 1.5*original cwnd worth of data in
the RTO's slow-start when the delayed ACKs arrive (basically the
original cwnd worth of it unnecessarily). In case one is
interested in minimizing unnecessary retransmissions e.g. due to
cost, those rexmissions must never see daylight. Besides, in the
worst case the generated burst overloads the bottleneck buffers
which is likely to significantly delay the further progress of
the flow. In case of ll rexmissions, ACK compression often
occurs at the same time making the burst very "sharp edged" (in
that case TCP often loses most of the segments above high_seq
=> very bad performance too). When FRTO is enabled, those
unnecessary retransmissions are fully avoided except for the
first segment and the cwnd behavior after detected spurious RTO
is determined by the response (one can tune that by sysctl).
Basic version (non-SACK enhanced one), FRTO can fail to detect
spurious RTO as spurious and falls back to conservative
behavior. ACK lossage is much less significant than reordering,
usually the FRTO can detect spurious RTO if at least 2
cumulative ACKs from original window are preserved (excluding
the ACK that advances to high_seq). With SACK-enhanced version,
the detection is quite robust.
FRTO should remove the need to set a high lower bound for the
RTO estimator due to delay spikes that occur relatively common
in some environments (esp. in wireless/cellular ones).

Basically this change enables it, previously other undo_marker
users were left with nothing. Reverse undo_marker logic
completely to get it set right in CA_Loss. On the other hand,
when spurious RTO is detected, clear it. Clearing might be too
heavy for some scenarios but seems safe enough starting point
for now and shouldn't have much effect except in majority of
cases (if in any).
By adding a new FLAG_ we avoid looping through write_queue when
RTO occurs.

In general, it should not be necessary to call tcp_fragment for
already SACKed skbs, but it's better to be safe than sorry. And
indeed, it can be called from sacktag when a DSACK arrives or
some ACK (with SACK) reordering occurs (sacktag could be made
to avoid the call in the latter case though I'm not sure if it's
worth of the trouble and added complexity to cover such marginal
case).
The collapse case has return for SACKED_ACKED case earlier, so
just WARN_ON if internal inconsistency is detected for some
reason.
