f78e73e27f tcp: cdg: rename struct minmax in tcp_cdg.c to avoid a naming conflict
The upcoming change "lib/win_minmax: windowed min or max estimator"
introduces a struct called minmax, which is then included in
include/linux/tcp.h in the upcoming change "tcp: use windowed min
filter library for TCP min_rtt estimation". This would create a
compilation error for tcp_cdg.c, which defines its own minmax
struct. To avoid this naming conflict (and potentially others in the
future), this commit renames the version used in tcp_cdg.c to
cdg_minmax.

756ee1729b tcp: replace cnt & rtt with struct in pkts_acked()
Replace 2 arguments (cnt and rtt) in the congestion control modules'
pkts_acked() function with a struct. This will allow adding more
information without having to modify existing congestion control
modules (tcp_nv in particular needs bytes in flight when packet
was sent).

As proposed by Neal Cardwell in his comments to the tcp_nv patch.

c10d9310ed tcp: do not assume TCP code is non preemptible
We want to to make TCP stack preemptible, as draining prequeue
and backlog queues can take lot of time.

Many SNMP updates were assuming that BH (and preemption) was disabled.

Need to convert some __NET_INC_STATS() calls to NET_INC_STATS()
and some __TCP_INC_STATS() to TCP_INC_STATS()

Before using this_cpu_ptr(net->ipv4.tcp_sk) in tcp_v4_send_reset()
and tcp_v4_send_ack(), we add an explicit preempt disabled section.

76174004a0 tcp: do not slow start when cwnd equals ssthresh
In the original design slow start is only used to raise cwnd
when cwnd is stricly below ssthresh. It makes little sense
to slow start when cwnd == ssthresh: especially
when hystart has set ssthresh in the initial ramp, or after
recovery when cwnd resets to ssthresh. Not doing so will
also help reduce the buffer bloat slightly.

2b0a8c9eee tcp: add CDG congestion control
CAIA Delay-Gradient (CDG) is a TCP congestion control that modifies
the TCP sender in order to [1]:

  o Use the delay gradient as a congestion signal.
  o Back off with an average probability that is independent of the RTT.
  o Coexist with flows that use loss-based congestion control, i.e.,
    flows that are unresponsive to the delay signal.
  o Tolerate packet loss unrelated to congestion. (Disabled by default.)

Its FreeBSD implementation was presented for the ICCRG in July 2012;
slides are available at http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/84/iccrg.html

Running the experiment scenarios in [1] suggests that our implementation
achieves more goodput compared with FreeBSD 10.0 senders, although it also
causes more queueing delay for a given backoff factor.

The loss tolerance heuristic is disabled by default due to safety concerns
for its use in the Internet [2, p. 45-46].

We use a variant of the Hybrid Slow start algorithm in tcp_cubic to reduce
the probability of slow start overshoot.
