2019-07-25tipc: fix changeover issues due to large packetTuong Lien1-0/+59
In conjunction with changing the interfaces' MTU (e.g. especially in the case of a bonding) where the TIPC links are brought up and down in a short time, a couple of issues were detected with the current link changeover mechanism: 1) When one link is up but immediately forced down again, the failover procedure will be carried out in order to failover all the messages in the link's transmq queue onto the other working link. The link and node state is also set to FAILINGOVER as part of the process. The message will be transmited in form of a FAILOVER_MSG, so its size is plus of 40 bytes (= the message header size). There is no problem if the original message size is not larger than the link's MTU - 40, and indeed this is the max size of a normal payload messages. However, in the situation above, because the link has just been up, the messages in the link's transmq are almost SYNCH_MSGs which had been generated by the link synching procedure, then their size might reach the max value already! When the FAILOVER_MSG is built on the top of such a SYNCH_MSG, its size will exceed the link's MTU. As a result, the messages are dropped silently and the failover procedure will never end up, the link will not be able to exit the FAILINGOVER state, so cannot be re-established. 2) The same scenario above can happen more easily in case the MTU of the links is set differently or when changing. In that case, as long as a large message in the failure link's transmq queue was built and fragmented with its link's MTU > the other link's one, the issue will happen (there is no need of a link synching in advance). 3) The link synching procedure also faces with the same issue but since the link synching is only started upon receipt of a SYNCH_MSG, dropping the message will not result in a state deadlock, but it is not expected as design. The 1) & 3) issues are resolved by the last commit that only a dummy SYNCH_MSG (i.e. without data) is generated at the link synching, so the size of a FAILOVER_MSG if any then will never exceed the link's MTU. For the 2) issue, the only solution is trying to fragment the messages in the failure link's transmq queue according to the working link's MTU so they can be failovered then. A new function is made to accomplish this, it will still be a TUNNEL PROTOCOL/FAILOVER MSG but if the original message size is too large, it will be fragmented & reassembled at the receiving side.

2018-09-29tipc: buffer overflow handling in listener socketTung Nguyen1-0/+20
Default socket receive buffer size for a listener socket is 2Mb. For each arriving empty SYN, the linux kernel allocates a 768 bytes buffer. This means that a listener socket can serve maximum 2700 simultaneous empty connection setup requests before it hits a receive buffer overflow, and much fewer if the SYN is carrying any significant amount of data. When this happens the setup request is rejected, and the client receives an ECONNREFUSED error. This commit mitigates this problem by letting the client socket try to retransmit the SYN message multiple times when it sees it rejected with the code TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD. Retransmission is done at random intervals in the range of [100 ms, setup_timeout / 4], as many times as there is room for within the setup timeout limit.

2018-06-30tipc: eliminate buffer cloning in function tipc_msg_extract()Tung Nguyen1-20/+15
The function tipc_msg_extract() is using skb_clone() to clone inner messages from a message bundle buffer. Although this method is safe, it has an undesired effect that each buffer clone inherits the true-size of the bundling buffer. As a result, the buffer clone almost always ends up with being copied anyway by the message validation function. This makes the cloning into a sub-optimization. In this commit we take the consequence of this realization, and copy each inner message to a separately allocated buffer up front in the extraction function. As a bonus we can now eliminate the two cases where we had to copy re-routed packets that may potentially go out on the wire again.

Publications for TIPC_CLUSTER_SCOPE and TIPC_ZONE_SCOPE are in all aspects handled the same way, both on the publishing node and on the receiving nodes. Despite previous ambitions to the contrary, this is never going to change, so we take the conseqeunce of this and obsolete TIPC_ZONE_SCOPE and related macros/functions. Whenever a user is doing a bind() or a sendmsg() attempt using ZONE_SCOPE we translate this internally to CLUSTER_SCOPE, while we remain compatible with users and remote nodes still using ZONE_SCOPE. Furthermore, the non-formalized scope value 0 has always been permitted for use during lookup, with the same meaning as ZONE_SCOPE/CLUSTER_SCOPE. We now permit it even as binding scope, but for compatibility reasons we choose to not change the value of TIPC_CLUSTER_SCOPE.

2018-02-08tipc: fix skb truesize/datasize ratio controlHoang Le1-2/+2
In commit d618d09a68e4 ("tipc: enforce valid ratio between skb truesize and contents") we introduced a test for ensuring that the condition truesize/datasize <= 4 is true for a received buffer. Unfortunately this test has two problems. - Because of the integer arithmetics the test if (skb->truesize / buf_roundup_len(skb) > 4) will miss all ratios [4 < ratio < 5], which was not the intention. - The buffer returned by skb_copy() inherits skb->truesize of the original buffer, which doesn't help the situation at all. In this commit, we change the ratio condition and replace skb_copy() with a call to skb_copy_expand() to finally get this right.

2017-12-01tipc: fall back to smaller MTU if allocation of local send skb failsJon Maloy1-7/+44
When sending node local messages the code is using an 'mtu' of 66060 bytes to avoid unnecessary fragmentation. During situations of low memory tipc_msg_build() may sometimes fail to allocate such large buffers, resulting in unnecessary send failures. This can easily be remedied by falling back to a smaller MTU, and then reassemble the buffer chain as if the message were arriving from a remote node. At the same time, we change the initial MTU setting of the broadcast link to a lower value, so that large messages always are fragmented into smaller buffers even when we run in single node mode. Apart from obtaining the same advantage as for the 'fallback' solution above, this turns out to give a significant performance improvement. This can probably be explained with the __pskb_copy() operation performed on the buffer for each recipient during reception. We found the optimal value for this, considering the most relevant skb pool, to be 3744 bytes.

2017-11-16tipc: enforce valid ratio between skb truesize and contentsJon Maloy1-7/+17
The socket level flow control is based on the assumption that incoming buffers meet the condition (skb->truesize / roundup(skb->len) <= 4), where the latter value is rounded off upwards to the nearest 1k number. This does empirically hold true for the device drivers we know, but we cannot trust that it will always be so, e.g., in a system with jumbo frames and very small packets. We now introduce a check for this condition at packet arrival, and if we find it to be false, we copy the packet to a new, smaller buffer, where the condition will be true. We expect this to affect only a small fraction of all incoming packets, if at all.

2017-10-08tipc: Unclone message at secondary destination lookupJon Maloy1-0/+8
When a bundling message is received, the function tipc_link_input() calls function tipc_msg_extract() to unbundle all inner messages of the bundling message before adding them to input queue. The function tipc_msg_extract() just clones all inner skb for all inner messagges from the bundling skb. This means that the skb headroom of an inner message overlaps with the data part of the preceding message in the bundle. If the message in question is a name addressed message, it may be subject to a secondary destination lookup, and eventually be sent out on one of the interfaces again. But, since what is perceived as headroom by the device driver in reality is the last bytes of the preceding message in the bundle, the latter will be overwritten by the MAC addresses of the L2 header. If the preceding message has not yet been consumed by the user, it will evenually be delivered with corrupted contents. This commit fixes this by uncloning all messages passing through the function tipc_msg_lookup_dest(), hence ensuring that the headroom is always valid when the message is passed on.

2017-08-14tipc: avoid inheriting msg_non_seq flag when message is returnedJon Paul Maloy1-0/+1
In the function msg_reverse(), we reverse the header while trying to reuse the original buffer whenever possible. Those rejected/returned messages are always transmitted as unicast, but the msg_non_seq field is not explicitly set to zero as it should be. We have seen cases where multicast senders set the message type to "NOT dest_droppable", meaning that a multicast message shorter than one MTU will be returned, e.g., during receive buffer overflow, by reusing the original buffer. This has the effect that even the 'msg_non_seq' field is inadvertently inherited by the rejected message, although it is now sent as a unicast message. This again leads the receiving unicast link endpoint to steer the packet toward the broadcast link receive function, where it is dropped. The affected unicast link is thereafter (after 100 failed retransmissions) declared 'stale' and reset. We fix this by unconditionally setting the 'msg_non_seq' flag to zero for all rejected/returned messages.

2016-06-22tipc: unclone unbundled buffers before forwardingJon Paul Maloy1-0/+6
When extracting an individual message from a received "bundle" buffer, we just create a clone of the base buffer, and adjust it to point into the right position of the linearized data area of the latter. This works well for regular message reception, but during periods of extremely high load it may happen that an extracted buffer, e.g, a connection probe, is reversed and forwarded through an external interface while the preceding extracted message is still unhandled. When this happens, the header or data area of the preceding message will be partially overwritten by a MAC header, leading to unpredicatable consequences, such as a link reset. We now fix this by ensuring that the msg_reverse() function never returns a cloned buffer, and that the returned buffer always contains sufficient valid head and tail room to be forwarded.

The code path for receiving broadcast packets is currently distinct from the unicast path. This leads to unnecessary code and data duplication, something that can be avoided with some effort. We now introduce separate per-peer tipc_link instances for handling broadcast packet reception. Each receive link keeps a pointer to the common, single, broadcast link instance, and can hence handle release and retransmission of send buffers as if they belonged to the own instance. Furthermore, we let each unicast link instance keep a reference to both the pertaining broadcast receive link, and to the common send link. This makes it possible for the unicast links to easily access data for broadcast link synchronization, as well as for carrying acknowledges for received broadcast packets.

2015-05-14tipc: improve link congestion algorithmJon Paul Maloy1-0/+7
The link congestion algorithm used until now implies two problems. - It is too generous towards lower-level messages in situations of high load by giving "absolute" bandwidth guarantees to the different priority levels. LOW traffic is guaranteed 10%, MEDIUM is guaranted 20%, HIGH is guaranteed 30%, and CRITICAL is guaranteed 40% of the available bandwidth. But, in the absence of higher level traffic, the ratio between two distinct levels becomes unreasonable. E.g. if there is only LOW and MEDIUM traffic on a system, the former is guaranteed 1/3 of the bandwidth, and the latter 2/3. This again means that if there is e.g. one LOW user and 10 MEDIUM users, the former will have 33.3% of the bandwidth, and the others will have to compete for the remainder, i.e. each will end up with 6.7% of the capacity. - Packets of type MSG_BUNDLER are created at SYSTEM importance level, but only after the packets bundled into it have passed the congestion test for their own respective levels. Since bundled packets don't result in incrementing the level counter for their own importance, only occasionally for the SYSTEM level counter, they do in practice obtain SYSTEM level importance. Hence, the current implementation provides a gap in the congestion algorithm that in the worst case may lead to a link reset. We now refine the congestion algorithm as follows: - A message is accepted to the link backlog only if its own level counter, and all superior level counters, permit it. - The importance of a created bundle packet is set according to its contents. A bundle packet created from messges at levels LOW to CRITICAL is given importance level CRITICAL, while a bundle created from a SYSTEM level message is given importance SYSTEM. In the latter case only subsequent SYSTEM level messages are allowed to be bundled into it. This solves the first problem described above, by making the bandwidth guarantee relative to the total number of users at all levels; only the upper limit for each level remains absolute. In the example described above, the single LOW user would use 1/11th of the bandwidth, the same as each of the ten MEDIUM users, but he still has the same guarantee against starvation as the latter ones. The fix also solves the second problem. If the CRITICAL level is filled up by bundle packets of that level, no lower level packets will be accepted any more.

2015-04-02tipc: eliminate delayed link deletion at link failoverJon Paul Maloy1-2/+2
When a bearer is disabled manually, all its links have to be reset and deleted. However, if there is a remaining, parallel link ready to take over a deleted link's traffic, we currently delay the delete of the removed link until the failover procedure is finished. This is because the remaining link needs to access state from the reset link, such as the last received packet number, and any partially reassembled buffer, in order to perform a successful failover. In this commit, we do instead move the state data over to the new link, so that it can fulfill the procedure autonomously, without accessing any data on the old link. This means that we can now proceed and delete all pertaining links immediately when a bearer is disabled. This saves us from some unnecessary complexity in such situations. We also choose to change the confusing definitions CHANGEOVER_PROTOCOL, ORIGINAL_MSG and DUPLICATE_MSG to the more descriptive TUNNEL_PROTOCOL, FAILOVER_MSG and SYNCH_MSG respectively.

2015-03-29tipc: fix two bugs in secondary destination lookupJon Paul Maloy1-1/+6
A message sent to a node after a successful name table lookup may still find that the destination socket has disappeared, because distribution of name table updates is non-atomic. If so, the message will be rejected back to the sender with error code TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT. If the source socket of the message has disappeared in the meantime, the message should be dropped. However, in the currrent code, the message will instead be subject to an unwanted tertiary lookup, because the function tipc_msg_lookup_dest() doesn't check if there is an error code present in the message before performing the lookup. In the worst case, the message may now find the old destination again, and be redirected once more, instead of being dropped directly as it should be. A second bug in this function is that the "prev_node" field in the message is not updated after successful lookup, something that may have unpredictable consequences. The problems arising from those bugs occur very infrequently. The third change in this function; the test on msg_reroute_msg_cnt() is purely cosmetic, reflecting that the returned value never can be negative. This commit corrects the two bugs described above.

2015-03-14tipc: clean up handling of message prioritiesJon Paul Maloy1-4/+1
Messages transferred by TIPC are assigned an "importance priority", -an integer value indicating how to treat the message when there is link or destination socket congestion. There is no separate header field for this value. Instead, the message user values have been chosen in ascending order according to perceived importance, so that the message user field can be used for this. This is not a good solution. First, we have many more users than the needed priority levels, so we end up with treating more priority levels than necessary. Second, the user field cannot always accurately reflect the priority of the message. E.g., a message fragment packet should really have the priority of the enveloped user data message, and not the priority of the MSG_FRAGMENTER user. Until now, we have been working around this problem in different ways, but it is now time to implement a consistent way of handling such priorities, although still within the constraint that we cannot allocate any more bits in the regular data message header for this. In this commit, we define a new priority level, TIPC_SYSTEM_IMPORTANCE, that will be the only one used apart from the four (lower) user data levels. All non-data messages map down to this priority. Furthermore, we take some free bits from the MSG_FRAGMENTER header and allocate them to store the priority of the enveloped message. We then adjust the functions msg_importance()/msg_set_importance() so that they read/set the correct header fields depending on user type. This small protocol change is fully compatible, because the code at the receiving end of a link currently reads the importance level only from user data messages, where there is no change.

2015-03-14tipc: split link outqueueJon Paul Maloy1-15/+17
struct tipc_link contains one single queue for outgoing packets, where both transmitted and waiting packets are queued. This infrastructure is hard to maintain, because we need to keep a number of fields to keep track of which packets are sent or unsent, and the number of packets in each category. A lot of code becomes simpler if we split this queue into a transmission queue, where sent/unacknowledged packets are kept, and a backlog queue, where we keep the not yet sent packets. In this commit we do this separation.

2015-03-14tipc: extract bundled buffers by cloning instead of copyingJon Paul Maloy1-14/+16
When we currently extract a bundled buffer from a message bundle in the function tipc_msg_extract(), we allocate a new buffer and explicitly copy the linear data area. This is unnecessary, since we can just clone the buffer and do skb_pull() on the clone to move the data pointer to the correct position. This is what we do in this commit.

2015-03-14tipc: eliminate unnecessary linearization of incoming buffersJon Paul Maloy1-4/+10
Currently, TIPC linearizes all incoming buffers directly at reception before passing them upwards in the stack. This is clearly a waste of CPU resources, and must be avoided. In this commit, we eliminate this unnecessary linearization. We still ensure that at least the message header is linear, and that the buffer is linearized where this is still needed, i.e. when unbundling and when reversing messages. In addition, we ensure that fragmented messages are validated after reassembly before delivering them upwards in the stack.

2015-02-05tipc: resolve race problem at unicast message receptionJon Paul Maloy1-0/+34
TIPC handles message cardinality and sequencing at the link layer, before passing messages upwards to the destination sockets. During the upcall from link to socket no locks are held. It is therefore possible, and we see it happen occasionally, that messages arriving in different threads and delivered in sequence still bypass each other before they reach the destination socket. This must not happen, since it violates the sequentiality guarantee. We solve this by adding a new input buffer queue to the link structure. Arriving messages are added safely to the tail of that queue by the link, while the head of the queue is consumed, also safely, by the receiving socket. Sequentiality is secured per socket by only allowing buffers to be dequeued inside the socket lock. Since there may be multiple simultaneous readers of the queue, we use a 'filter' parameter to reduce the risk that they peek the same buffer from the queue, hence also reducing the risk of contention on the receiving socket locks. This solves the sequentiality problem, and seems to cause no measurable performance degradation. A nice side effect of this change is that lock handling in the functions tipc_rcv() and tipc_bcast_rcv() now becomes uniform, something that will enable future simplifications of those functions.

2015-02-05tipc: split up function tipc_msg_eval()Jon Paul Maloy1-21/+21
The function tipc_msg_eval() is in reality doing two related, but different tasks. First it tries to find a new destination for named messages, in case there was no first lookup, or if the first lookup failed. Second, it does what its name suggests, evaluating the validity of the message and its destination, and returning an appropriate error code depending on the result. This is confusing, and in this commit we choose to break it up into two functions. A new function, tipc_msg_lookup_dest(), first attempts to find a new destination, if the message is of the right type. If this lookup fails, or if the message should not be subject to a second lookup, the already existing tipc_msg_reverse() is called. This function performs prepares the message for rejection, if applicable. Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-02-05tipc: reduce usage of context info in socket and linkJon Paul Maloy1-18/+15
The most common usage of namespace information is when we fetch the own node addess from the net structure. This leads to a lot of passing around of a parameter of type 'struct net *' between functions just to make them able to obtain this address. However, in many cases this is unnecessary. The own node address is readily available as a member of both struct tipc_sock and tipc_link, and can be fetched from there instead. The fact that the vast majority of functions in socket.c and link.c anyway are maintaining a pointer to their respective base structures makes this option even more compelling. In this commit, we introduce the inline functions tsk_own_node() and link_own_node() to make it easy for functions to fetch the node address from those structs instead of having to pass along and dereference the namespace struct. In particular, we make calls to the msg_xx() functions in msg.{h,c} context independent by directly passing them the own node address as parameter when needed. Those functions should be regarded as leaves in the code dependency tree, and it is hence desirable to keep them namspace unaware. Apart from a potential positive effect on cache behavior, these changes make it easier to introduce the changes that will follow later in this series.
