Do not traverse the list of ack vector records [proportional to window size]
when we know we will not find what we are looking for. This is especially
useful because ack vectors are checked twice:
1) Upon parsing of options.
2) Upon notification of a new ack.
All of the work will occur during check #1. Therefore, when check #2 is

[SELinux]: Add support for DCCP
This patch implements SELinux kernel support for DCCP
(http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/DCCP), which is similar in
operation to TCP in terms of connected state between peers.
The SELinux support for DCCP is thus modeled on existing handling of
TCP.
A new DCCP socket class is introduced, to allow protocol
differentation. The permissions for this class inherit all of the
socket permissions, as well as the current TCP permissions (node_bind,
name_bind etc). IPv4 and IPv6 are supported, although labeled
networking is not, at this stage.
Patches for SELinux userspace are at:
http://people.redhat.com/jmorris/selinux/dccp/user/

This updates program documentation: spell out precise conditions about

It is based on the following table derived from RFC 4340:
+-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
| Type | Retransmit? | Remark |
+-----------+---------------------------------+---------------------+
| Request | in client-REQUEST state | sec. 8.1.1 |
| Response | NEVER | SHOULD NOT, 8.1.3 |
| Data | NEVER | unreliable protocol |
| Ack | possible in client-PARTOPEN | sec. 8.1.5 |
| DataAck | NEVER | unreliable protocol |
| CloseReq | only in server-CLOSEREQ state | MUST, sec. 8.3 |
| Close | in node-CLOSING state | MUST, sec. 8.3 |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Reset | only in response to other packets |
| Sync | only in response to sequence-invalid packets (7.5.4) |
| SyncAck | only in response to Sync packets |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------------+
Hence the only packets eligible for retransmission are:
* Requests in client-REQUEST state (sec. 8.1.1)
* Acks in client-PARTOPEN state (sec. 8.1.5)
* CloseReq in server-CLOSEREQ state (sec. 8.3)
* Close in node-CLOSING state (sec. 8.3)

On x86_64, this means order-1 allocations (might fail), even for 'small'

backlog of 50000 is slowed down a bit because of this fixed limit.
This patch makes the sizing of listen hash table a dynamic parameter,
depending of :
- net.core.somaxconn tunable (default is 128)
- net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog tunable (default : 256, 1024 or 128)
- backlog value given by user application (2nd parameter of listen())
For large allocations (bigger than PAGE_SIZE), we use vmalloc() instead of
