Subject: [RFC] [Patch 0/4] dccp: Working prototype of integrating the modules
Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2008 09:08:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081220080802.GA3853@gerrit.erg.abdn.ac.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081218.222842.174783235.davem@davemloft.net>
This set addresses the issues in making CCIDs an available part of DCCP.
I am sending this for discussion, it differs in one point from the previous
patch - this set does not keep the module loading and locking code.
The rationale for this is that
* at the moment there are only 2 fully standardised CCIDs
* this situation is not likely to change in the foreseeable
future (RFC progress is very slow, the update of RFC 3448
for instance took over 1 year and went through 6 revisions)
* so it would only be research prototypes as candidates for
the non-builtin case
* and for this I think we are better off temporarily modifying
the build process
* this includes CCID-4, since its Internet draft has expired
(http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dccp-ccid4-03.txt)
* (but for heretics, we still have the "UDP-like" no-op module)
All patches apply on top of Arnaldo's (your) patch to simplify discussion.
Awaiting feedback, please do not apply immediately.
Patch #1: Removes CCID module references that were still around.
Patch #2: Removes the r/w locks around module loading.
Patch #3: Adds a missing ccid_unregister_builtins() function.
Patch #4: Integrates the TFRC library (which is a dependency of
CCID-3/4) with DCCP, including necessary initialisation.
I have performed testing with this set yesterday, it worked very
well, including module unloading, use of dccp_probe, different links
(WiFi/Ethernet/loopback).
The set is also available via the test tree (git/patch/tarball):
