net-next-2.6 [PATCH 0/3] dccp: Ack Vectors in circular buffer instead of array

[Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>]

Dave,

please can you consider this set, which is part I of a two-part patch set
to fix issues in the DCCP Ack Vector implementation.

It is a self-contained set to move away from a linear array to a circular
buffer with overflow handling. Part II would then follow next week.


 Patch #1: cleans up the old interface to prepare for the improved one.
 Patch #2: also tidies up the old interface, by separating the internals
           of Ack Vectors from the option-parsing code.
 Patch #3: Completes the implementation of a circular Ack Vector buffer.


I have also placed this in into a fresh (today's) copy of net-next-2.6, on

    git://eden-feed.erg.abdn.ac.uk/net-next-2.6        [subtree 'dccp']

The set has been tested for 3 years, and is fully bisectable.
