2014-07-16tipc: make name table distributor use new send functionJon Paul Maloy1-1/+0
In a previous commit series ("tipc: new unicast transmission code") we introduced a new message sending function, tipc_link_xmit2(), and moved the unicast data users over to use that function. We now let the internal name table distributor do the same. The interaction between the name distributor and the node/link layer also becomes significantly simpler, so we can eliminate the function tipc_link_names_xmit().

2014-06-27tipc: introduce send functions for chained buffers in linkJon Paul Maloy1-0/+2
The current link implementation provides several different transmit functions, depending on the characteristics of the message to be sent: if it is an iovec or an sk_buff, if it needs fragmentation or not, if the caller holds the node_lock or not. The permutation of these options gives us an unwanted amount of unnecessarily complex code. As a first step towards simplifying the send path for all messages, we introduce two new send functions at link level, tipc_link_xmit2() and __tipc_link_xmit2(). The former looks up a link to the message destination, and if one is found, it grabs the node lock and calls the second function, which works exclusively inside the node lock protection. If no link is found, and the destination is on the same node, it delivers the message directly to the local destination socket. The new functions take a buffer chain where all packet headers are already prepared, and the correct MTU has been used. These two functions will later replace all other link-level transmit functions. The functions are not backwards compatible, so we have added them as new functions with temporary names. They are tested, but have no users yet. Those will be added later in this series.

2014-05-14tipc: rename and move message reassembly functionJon Paul Maloy1-12/+2
The function tipc_link_frag_rcv() is in reality a re-entrant generic message reassemby function that has nothing in particular to do with the link, where it is defined now. This becomes obvious when we see the need to call the function from other places in the code. In this commit rename it to tipc_buf_append() and move it to the file msg.c. We also simplify its signature by moving the tail pointer to the control block of the head buffer, hence making the head buffer self-contained.

2014-04-22tipc: decouple the relationship between bearer and linkYing Xue1-2/+4
Currently on both paths of message transmission and reception, the read lock of tipc_net_lock must be held before bearer is accessed, while the write lock of tipc_net_lock has to be taken before bearer is configured. Although it can ensure that bearer is always valid on the two data paths, link and bearer is closely bound together. So as the part of effort of removing tipc_net_lock, the locking policy of bearer protection will be adjusted as below: on the two data paths, RCU is used, and on the configuration path of bearer, RTNL lock is applied. Now RCU just covers the path of message reception. To make it possible to protect the path of message transmission with RCU, link should not use its stored bearer pointer to access bearer, but it should use the bearer identity of its attached bearer as index to get bearer instance from bearer_list array, which can help us decouple the relationship between bearer and link. As a result, bearer on the path of message transmission can be safely protected by RCU when we access bearer_list array within RCU lock protection.

2014-02-13tipc: delay delete of link when failover is neededJon Paul Maloy1-1/+1
When a bearer is disabled, all its attached links are deleted. Ideally, we should do link failover to redundant links on other bearers, if there are any, in such cases. This would be consistent with current behavior when a link is reset, but not deleted. However, due to the complexity involved, and the (wrongly) perceived low demand for this feature, it was never implemented until now. We mark the doomed link for deletion with a new flag, but wait until the failover process is finished before we actually delete it. With the improved link tunnelling/failover code introduced earlier in this commit series, it is now easy to identify a spot in the code where the failover is finished and it is safe to delete the marked link. Moreover, the test for the flag and the deletion can be done synchronously, and outside the most time critical data path.

2014-02-13tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer structYing Xue1-5/+3
In our ongoing effort to simplify the TIPC locking structure, we see a need to remove the linked list for tipc_links in the bearer. This can be explained as follows. Currently, we have three different ways to access a link, via three different lists/tables: 1: Via a node hash table: Used by the time-critical outgoing/incoming data paths. (e.g. link_send_sections_fast() and tipc_recv_msg() ): grab net_lock(read) find node from node hash table grab node_lock select link grab bearer_lock send_msg() release bearer_lock release node lock release net_lock 2: Via a global linked list for nodes: Used by configuration commands (link_cmd_set_value()) grab net_lock(read) find node and link from global node list (using link name) grab node_lock update link release node lock release net_lock (Same locking order as above. No problem.) 3: Via the bearer's linked link list: Used by notifications from interface (e.g. tipc_disable_bearer() ) grab net_lock(write) grab bearer_lock get link ptr from bearer's link list get node from link grab node_lock delete link release node lock release bearer_lock release net_lock (Different order from above, but works because we grab the outer net_lock in write mode first, excluding all other access.) The first major goal in our simplification effort is to get rid of the "big" net_lock, replacing it with rcu-locks when accessing the node list and node hash array. This will come in a later patch series. But to get there we first need to rewrite access methods ##2 and 3, since removal of net_lock would introduce three major problems: a) In access method #2, we access the link before taking the protecting node_lock. This will not work once net_lock is gone, so we will have to change the access order. We will deal with this in a later commit in this series, "tipc: add node lock protection to link found by link_find_link()". b) When the outer protection from net_lock is gone, taking bearer_lock and node_lock in opposite order of method 1) and 2) will become an obvious deadlock hazard. This is fixed in the commit ("tipc: remove bearer_lock from tipc_bearer struct") later in this series. c) Similar to what is described in problem a), access method #3 starts with using a link pointer that is unprotected by node_lock, in order to via that pointer find the correct node struct and lock it. Before we remove net_lock, this access order must be altered. This is what we do with this commit. We can avoid introducing problem problem c) by even here using the global node list to find the node, before accessing its links. When we loop though the node list we use the own bearer identity as search criteria, thus easily finding the links that are associated to the resetting/disabling bearer. It should be noted that although this method is somewhat slower than the current list traversal, it is in no way time critical. This is only about resetting or deleting links, something that must be considered relatively infrequent events. As a bonus, we can get rid of the mutual pointers between links and bearers. After this commit, pointer dependency go in one direction only: from the link to the bearer. This commit pre-empts introduction of problem c) as described above.

2014-02-13tipc: stricter behavior of message reassembly functionJon Paul Maloy1-3/+3
The function tipc_link_recv_fragment(struct sk_buff **buf) currently leaves the value of the input buffer pointer undefined when it returns, except when the return code indicates that the reassembly is complete. This despite the fact that it always consumes the input buffer. Here, we enforce a stricter behavior by this function, ensuring that the returned buffer pointer is non-NULL if and only if the reassembly is complete. This makes it possible to test for the buffer pointer as criteria for successful reassembly. We also rename the function to tipc_link_frag_rcv(), which is both shorter and more in line with common naming practice in the network subsystem. Apart from the new name, these changes have no impact on current users of the function, but makes it more practical for use in some planned future commits.

2013-12-11tipc: remove unused 'blocked' flag from tipc_link structYing Xue1-7/+0
In early versions of TIPC it was possible to administratively block individual links through the use of the member flag 'blocked'. This functionality was deemed redundant, and since commit 7368dd ("tipc: clean out all instances of #if 0'd unused code"), this flag has been unused. In the current code, a link only needs to be blocked for sending and reception if it is subject to an ongoing link failover. In that case, it is sufficient to check if the number of expected failover packets is non-zero, something which is done via the funtion 'link_blocked()'. This commit finally removes the redundant 'blocked' flag completely.

2013-11-07tipc: message reassembly using fragment chainErik Hugne1-6/+14
When the first fragment of a long data data message is received on a link, a reassembly buffer large enough to hold the data from this and all subsequent fragments of the message is allocated. The payload of each new fragment is copied into this buffer upon arrival. When the last fragment is received, the reassembled message is delivered upwards to the port/socket layer. Not only is this an inefficient approach, but it may also cause bursts of reassembly failures in low memory situations. since we may fail to allocate the necessary large buffer in the first place. Furthermore, after 100 subsequent such failures the link will be reset, something that in reality aggravates the situation. To remedy this problem, this patch introduces a different approach. Instead of allocating a big reassembly buffer, we now append the arriving fragments to a reassembly chain on the link, and deliver the whole chain up to the socket layer once the last fragment has been received. This is safe because the retransmission layer of a TIPC link always delivers packets in strict uninterrupted order, to the reassembly layer as to all other upper layers. Hence there can never be more than one fragment chain pending reassembly at any given time in a link, and we can trust (but still verify) that the fragments will be chained up in the correct order.

2012-11-21tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanismYing Xue1-4/+0
Currently at the TIPC bearer layer there is the following congestion mechanism: Once sending packets has failed via that bearer, the bearer will be flagged as being in congested state at once. During bearer congestion, all packets arriving at link will be queued on the link's outgoing buffer. When we detect that the state of bearer congestion has relaxed (e.g. some packets are received from the bearer) we will try our best to push all packets in the link's outgoing buffer until the buffer is empty, or until the bearer is congested again. However, in fact the TIPC bearer never receives any feedback from the device layer whether a send was successful or not, so it must always assume it was successful. Therefore, the bearer congestion mechanism as it exists currently is of no value. But the bearer blocking state is still useful for us. For example, when the physical media goes down/up, we need to change the state of the links bound to the bearer. So the code maintaing the state information is not removed.

Eliminates most link-specific debugging code in TIPC, which is now largely unnecessary. All calls to the link-specific debugging macros have been removed, as are the macros themselves; in addition, the optional allocation of print buffers to hold debugging information for each link endpoint has been removed. The ability for TIPC to print out helpful diagnostic information when link retransmit failures occur has been retained for the time being, as an aid in tracking down the cause of such failures.

2011-01-01tipc: rename dbg.[ch] to log.[ch]Allan Stephens1-1/+1
As the first step in removing obsolete debugging code from TIPC the files that implement TIPC's non-debug-related log buffer subsystem are renamed to better reflect their true nature.

Do some cleanups of TIPC based on make namespacecheck 1. Don't export unused symbols 2. Eliminate dead code 3. Make functions and variables local 4. Rename buf_acquire to tipc_buf_acquire since it is used in several files Compile tested only. This make break out of tree kernel modules that depend on TIPC routines.

2010-10-13tipc: clean out all instances of #if 0'd unused codePaul Gortmaker1-4/+0
Remove all instances of legacy, or as yet to be implemented code that is currently living within an #if 0 ... #endif block. In the rare instance that some of it be needed in the future, it can still be dragged out of history, but there is no need for it to sit in mainline.

2008-09-02tipc: Don't use structure names which easily globally conflict.David S. Miller1-1/+1
Andrew Morton reported a build failure on sparc32, because TIPC uses names like "struct node" and there is a like named data structure defined in linux/node.h This just regexp replaces "struct node*" to "struct tipc_node*" to avoid this and any future similar problems.
