dccp: Initialisation and type-checking of feature sysctls
This patch takes care of initialising and type-checking sysctls
related to feature negotiation. Type checking is important since some
of the sysctls now directly impact the feature-negotiation process.
The sysctls are initialised with the known default values for each
feature. For the type-checking the value constraints from RFC 4340
are used:
* Sequence Window uses the specified Wmin=32, the maximum is ulong (4 bytes),
tested and confirmed that it works up to 4294967295 - for Gbps speed;
* Ack Ratio is between 0 .. 0xffff (2-byte unsigned integer);
* CCIDs are between 0 .. 255;
* request_retries, retries1, retries2 also between 0..255 for good measure;
* tx_qlen is checked to be non-negative;
* sync_ratelimit remains as before.
Notes:
------
1. Die s@sysctl_dccp_feat@sysctl_dccp@g since the sysctls are now in feat.c.
2. As pointed out by Arnaldo, the pattern of type-checking repeats itself in
other places, sometimes with exactly the same kind of definitions (e.g.
"static int zero;"). It may be a good idea (kernel janitors?) to consolidate
type checking. For the sake of keeping the changeset small and in order not
to affect other subsystems, I have not strived to generalise here.
