de0d411cb8 [TFRC]: CCID3 (and CCID4) needs to access these inlines
This moves two inlines back to packet_history.h: these are not private
to packet_history.c, but are needed by CCID3/4 to detect whether a new
loss is indicated, or whether a loss is already pending.

db64196038 [CCID3]: Redundant debugging output / documentation
Each time feedback is sent two lines are printed:

	ccid3_hc_rx_send_feedback: client ... - entry
	ccid3_hc_rx_send_feedback: Interval ...usec, X_recv=..., 1/p=...

The first line is redundant and thus removed.

Further, documentation of ccid3_hc_rx_sock (capitalisation) is made consistent.

8a9c7e92e0 [TFRC]: Ringbuffer to track loss interval history
A ringbuffer-based implementation of loss interval history is easier to
maintain, allocate, and update.

The `swap' routine to keep the RX history sorted is due to and was written
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, simplifying an earlier macro-based variant.

Details:
 * access to the Loss Interval Records via macro wrappers (with safety checks);
 * simplified, on-demand allocation of entries (no extra memory consumption on
   lossless links); cache allocation is local to the module / exported as service;
 * provision of RFC-compliant algorithm to re-compute average loss interval;
 * provision of comprehensive, new loss detection algorithm
 	- support for all cases of loss, including re-ordered/duplicate packets;
 	- waiting for NDUPACK=3 packets to fill the hole;
	- updating loss records when a late-arriving packet fills a hole.

8995a238ef [TFRC]: Loss interval code needs the macros/inlines that were moved
This moves the inlines (which were previously declared as macros) back into
packet_history.h since the loss detection code needs to be able to read entries
from the RX history in order to create the relevant loss entries: it needs at
least tfrc_rx_hist_loss_prev() and tfrc_rx_hist_last_rcv(), which in turn
require the definition of the other inlines (macros).

a0a53c8ba9 [NETNS]: struct net content re-work (v3)
Recently David Miller and Herbert Xu pointed out that struct net becomes
overbloated and un-maintainable. There are two solutions:
- provide a pointer to a network subsystem definition from struct net.
  This costs an additional dereferrence
- place sub-system definition into the structure itself. This will speedup
  run-time access at the cost of recompilation time

The second approach looks better for us. Other sub-systems will follow.

7f4e4868f3 [IPV6]: make the protocol initialization to return an error code
This patchset makes the different protocols to return an error code, so
the af_inet6 module can check the initialization was correct or not.

The raw6 was taken into account to be consistent with the rest of the
protocols, but the registration is at the same place.
Because the raw6 has its own init function, the proto and the ops structure
can be moved inside the raw6.c file.

790a353289 [NET] sysctl: prepare core tables to point to netns variables
Some of ctl variables are going to be on the struct
net. Here's the way to adjust the ->data pointer on the
ctl_table-s to point on the right variable.

Since some pointers still point on the global variables,
I keep turning the write bits off on such tables.

This looks to become a common procedure for net sysctls,
so later parts of this code may migrate to some more
generic place.

024626e36d [NET] sysctl: make the sys.net.core sysctls per-namespace
Making them per-namespace is required for the following
two reasons:

 First, some ctl values have a per-namespace meaning.
 Second, making them writable from the sub-namespace
 is an isolation hole.

So I introduce the pernet operations to create these
tables. For init_net I use the existing statically
declared tables, for sub-namespace they are duplicated
and the write bits are removed from the mode.

b84a2189c4 [TFRC]: New rx history code
Credit here goes to Gerrit Renker, that provided the initial implementation for
this new codebase.

I modified it just to try to make it closer to the existing API, renaming some
functions, add namespacing and fix one bug where the tfrc_rx_hist_alloc was not
freeing the allocated ring entries on the error path.

Original changeset comment from Gerrit:
      -----------
This provides a new, self-contained and generic RX history service for TFRC
based protocols.

Details:
 * new data structure, initialisation and cleanup routines;
 * allocation of dccp_rx_hist entries local to packet_history.c,
   as a service exported by the dccp_tfrc_lib module.
 * interface to automatically track highest-received seqno;
 * receiver-based RTT estimation (needed for instance by RFC 3448, 6.3.1);
 * a generic function to test for `data packets' as per  RFC 4340, sec. 7.7.
