2011-05-10tipc: Revise timings used when sending link request messagesAllan Stephens
Revises the algorithm governing the sending of link request messages to take into account the number of nodes each bearer is currently in contact with, and to ensure more rapid rediscovery of neighboring nodes if a bearer fails and then recovers. The discovery object now sends requests at least once a second if it is not in contact with any other nodes, and at least once a minute if it has at least one neighbor; if contact with the only neighbor is lost, the object immediately reverts to its initial rapid-fire search timing to accelerate the rediscovery process. In addition, the discovery object now stops issuing link request messages if it is in contact with the only neighboring node it is configured to communicate with, since further searching is unnecessary.

2011-05-10tipc: Add monitoring of number of nodes discovered by bearerAllan Stephens
Augments TIPC's discovery object to track the number of neighboring nodes having an active link to the associated bearer. This means tipc_disc_update_link_req() becomes either one of: tipc_disc_add_dest() or: tipc_disc_remove_dest() depending on the code flow direction of things.

2011-05-10tipc: Enhance sending of discovery object link request messagesAllan Stephens
Augments TIPC's discovery object to send its initial neighbor discovery request message as soon as the associated bearer is created, rather than waiting for its first periodic timeout to occur, thereby speeding up the discovery process. Also adds a check to suppress the initial request or subsequent requests if the bearer is blocked at the time the request is scheduled for transmission.

2011-05-10tipc: Enhance handling of discovery object creation failuresAllan Stephens
Modifies bearer creation and deletion code to improve handling of scenarios when a neighbor discovery object cannot be created. The creation routine now aborts the creation of a bearer if its discovery object cannot be created, and deletes the newly created bearer, rather than failing quietly and leaving an unusable bearer hanging around. Since the exit via the goto label really isn't a definitive failure in all cases, relabel it appropriately.

2011-05-10tipc: Introduce routine to enqueue a chain of messages on link tx queueAllan Stephens

2011-05-10tipc: Avoid recomputation of outgoing message lengthAllan Stephens
Rework TIPC's message sending routines to take advantage of the total amount of data value passed to it by the kernel socket infrastructure. This change eliminates the need for TIPC to compute the size of outgoing messages itself, as well as the check for an oversize message in tipc_msg_build(). In addition, this change warrants an explanation: - res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, 0); + res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, bytes_to_send); Previously, the final argument to send_packet() was ignored (since the amount of data being sent was recalculated by a lower-level routine) and we could just pass in a dummy value (0). Now that the recalculation is being eliminated, the argument value being passed to send_packet() is significant and we have to supply the actual amount of data we want to send.

2011-05-10tipc: Abort excessive send requests as early as possibleAllan Stephens
Adds checks to TIPC's socket send routines to promptly detect and abort attempts to send more than 66,000 bytes in a single TIPC message or more than 2**31-1 bytes in a single TIPC byte stream request. In addition, this ensures that the number of iovecs in a send request does not exceed the limits of a standard integer variable.

2011-05-10tipc: Strengthen checks for neighboring node discoveryAllan Stephens
Enhances existing checks on the discovery domain associated with a TIPC bearer. A bearer can no longer be configured to accept links from itself only (which would be pointless), or to nodes outside its own cluster (since multi-cluster support has now been removed from TIPC). Also, the neighbor discovery routine now validates link setup requests against the configured discovery domain for the bearer, rather than simply ensuring the requesting node belongs to the node's own cluster.

2011-05-10tipc: Fix sk_buff leaks when link congestion is detectedAllan Stephens
Modifies a TIPC send routine that did not discard the outgoing sk_buff if it was not transmitted because of link congestion; this eliminates the potential for buffer leakage in the many callers who did not clean up the unsent buffer. (The two routines that previously did discard the unsent buffer have been updated to eliminate their now-redundant clean up.)

2011-05-10tipc: Update destination node field on incoming multicast messagesAllan Stephens
Sets the destination node field of an incoming multicast message to the receiving node's network address before handing off the message to each receiving port. This ensures that, in the event the destination port returns the message to the sender, the sender can identify which node the destination port belonged to.

2011-05-10tipc: Fix problem with bundled multicast messageAllan Stephens
Set the destination node and destination port fields of an outgoing multicast message header to zero; this is necessary to ensure that the receiving node can route the message properly if it was packed into a bundle due to link congestion. (Previously, there was a chance that the receiving node would send the unbundled message to a random node & port, rather than processing the message itself.)

2011-05-10tipc: Set name lookup scope field properly in all data messagesAllan Stephens
Ensures that all outgoing data messages have the "name lookup scope" field of their header set correctly; that is, named multicast messages now specify cluster-wide name lookup, while messages not using TIPC naming zero out the lookup field. (Previously, the lookup scope specified for these types of messages was inherited from the last message sent by the sending port.)

2011-05-10tipc: Fix issues with fragmentation of an existing message bufferAllan Stephens
Modifies the routine that fragments an existing message buffer to use similar logic to that used when generating fragments from an iovec. The routine now creates a complete chain of fragments and adds them to the link transmit queue as a unit, so that the link sends all fragments or none; this prevents the incomplete transmission of a fragmented message that might otherwise result because of link congestion or memory exhaustion. This change also ensures that the counter recording the number of fragmented messages sent by the link is now incremented only if the message is actually sent.

2011-05-10tipc: Avoid pointless masking of fragmented message identifierAllan Stephens

2011-05-10tipc: Don't initialize link selector field in fragmented messagesAllan Stephens
Eliminates code that sets the link selector field in the header of fragmented messages, since this information is never referenced.

2011-03-13tipc: Optimizations to link creation codeAllan Stephens
Enhances link creation code as follows: 1) Detects illegal attempts to add a requested link earlier in the link creation process. This prevents TIPC from wasting time initializing a link object it then throws away, and also eliminates the code needed to do the throwing away. 2) Passes in the node object associated with the requested link. This allows TIPC to eliminate a search to locate the node object, as well as code that attempted to create the node if it doesn't exist.

2011-03-13tipc: Give Tx of discovery responses priority over link messagesAllan Stephens
Delay releasing the node lock when processing a neighbor discovery message until after the optional discovery response message has been sent. This helps ensure that any link protocol messages sent by a link endpoint created as a result of a neighbor discovery request are received after the discovery response is received, thereby giving the receiving node a chance to create a peer link endpoint to consume those link protocol messages, if one does not already exist.

2011-03-13tipc: Cosmetic changes to neighbor discovery logicAllan Stephens
Reworks the appearance of the routine that processes incoming LINK_CONFIG messages to keep the main logic flow at a consistent level of indentation, and to add comments outlining the various phases involved in processing each message. This rework is being done to allow upcoming enhancements to this routine to be integrated more cleanly. The diff isn't really readable, so know that it was a case of the old code being like: tipc_disc_recv_msg(..) { if (in_own_cluster(orig)) { ... lines and lines of stuff ... } } which is now replaced with the more sane: tipc_disc_recv_msg(..) { if (!in_own_cluster(orig)) return; ... lines and lines of stuff ... } Instances of spin locking within the reindented block were replaced with the identical tipc_node_[un]lock() abstractions. Note that all these changes are cosmetic in nature, and do not change the way LINK_CONFIG messages are processed.

2011-03-13tipc: Fix redundant link field handling in link protocol messageAllan Stephens
Ensures that the "redundant link exists" field of the LINK_PROTOCOL messages sent by a link endpoint is set if and only if the sending node has at least one other working link to the peer node. Previously, the bit was set only if there were at least 2 working links to the peer node, meaning the bit was incorrectly left unset in messages sent by a non-working link endpoint when exactly one alternate working link was available. The revised code now takes the state of the link sending the message into account when deciding if an alternate link exists.

2011-03-13tipc: make msg_set_redundant_link() consistent with other set opsAllan Stephens
All the other boolean like msg_set_X(m) operations don't export both a msg_set_X(a) and a msg_clear_X(m), but instead just have the single msg_set_X(m, val) variant. Make the redundant_link one consistent by having the set take a value, and delete the msg_clear_redundant_link() anomoly. This is a cosmetic change and should not change behaviour.

2011-03-13tipc: cosmetic - function names are not to be full sentencesPaul Gortmaker
Function names like "tipc_node_has_redundant_links" are unweildy and result in long lines even for simple lines. The "has" doesn't contribute any value add, so dropping that is a slight step in the right direction.

2011-03-13tipc: Eliminate timestamp from link protocol messagesAllan Stephens
Removes support for the timestamp field of TIPC's link protocol messages. This field was previously used to hold an OS-dependent timestamp value that was used to assist in debugging early versions of TIPC. The field has now been deemed unnecessary and has been removed from the latest TIPC specification.

2011-03-13tipc: manually inline net_start/stop, make assoc. vars staticAllan Stephens
Relocates network-related variables into the subsystem files where they are now primarily used (following the recent rework of TIPC's node table), and converts globals into locals where possible. Changes the initialization of tipc_num_links from run-time to compile-time, and eliminates the net_start routine that becomes empty as a result. Also eliminates the corresponding net_stop routine by moving its (trivial) content into the one location that called the routine.

2011-03-13tipc: Convert node object array to a hash tableAllan Stephens
Replaces the dynamically allocated array of pointers to the cluster's node objects with a static hash table. Hash collisions are resolved using chaining, with a typical hash chain having only a single node, to avoid degrading performance during processing of incoming packets. The conversion to a hash table reduces the memory requirements for TIPC's node table to approximately the same size it had prior to the previous commit. In addition to the hash table itself, TIPC now also maintains a linked list for the node objects, sorted by ascending network address. This list allows TIPC to continue sending responses to user space applications that request node and link information in sorted order. The list also improves performance when name table update messages are sent by making it easier to identify the nodes that must be notified.

2011-03-13tipc: Eliminate configuration for maximum number of cluster nodesAllan Stephens
Gets rid of the need for users to specify the maximum number of cluster nodes supported by TIPC. TIPC now automatically provides support for all 4K nodes allowed by its addressing scheme. Note: This change sets TIPC's memory usage to the amount used by a maximum size node table with 4K entries. An upcoming patch that converts the node table from a linear array to a hash table will compact the node table to a more efficient design, but for clarity it is nice to have all the Kconfig infrastruture go away separately.

2011-03-13tipc: Split up unified structure of network-related variablesAllan Stephens
Converts the fields of the global "tipc_net" structure into individual variables. Since the struct was never referenced as a complete unit, its existence was pointless. This will facilitate upcoming changes to TIPC's node table and simpify upcoming relocation of the variables so they are only visible to the files that actually use them.

2011-03-13tipc: Fix problem with missing link in "tipc-config -l" outputAllan Stephens
Removes a race condition that could cause TIPC's internal counter of the number of links it has to neighboring nodes to have the incorrect value if two independent threads of control simultaneously create new link endpoints connecting to two different nodes using two different bearers. Such under counting would result in TIPC failing to list the final link(s) in its response to a configuration request to list all of the node's links. The counter is now updated atomically to ensure that simultaneous increments do not interfere with each other.

2011-03-13tipc: Prevent null pointer error when removing a node subscriptionAllan Stephens
Prevents a null pointer dereference from occurring if a node subscription is triggered at the same time that the subscribing port or publication is terminating the subscription. The problem arises if the triggering routine asynchronously activates and deregisters the node subscription while deregistration is already underway -- the deregistration routine may find that the pointer it has just verified to be non-NULL is now NULL. To avoid this race condition the triggering routine now simply marks the node subscription as defunct (to prevent it from re-activating) instead of deregistering it. The subscription is now both deregistered and destroyed only when the subscribing port or publication code terminates the node subscription.

Enhances TIPC's socket receive routines to support iovec structures containing more than a single entry.
