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.
