2011-09-17tipc: Enhance sending of bulk name table messagesAllan Stephens1-2/+8
Modifies the initial transfer of name table entries to a new neighboring node so that the messages are enqueued as a unit, rather than individually. The revised algorithm now locates the link carrying the message only once, and eliminates unnecessary checks for link congestion, message fragmentation, and message bundling that are not required when sending these messages.

2011-09-17tipc: relocate/coalesce node cast in tipc_named_node_upPaul Gortmaker1-2/+3
Functions like this are called using unsigned longs from function pointers. In this case, the function is passed in a node which is normally internally treated as a u32 by TIPC. Rather than add more casts into this function in the future for each added use of node within, move the cast to a single place on a local. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2011-09-17tipc: Prevent fragmented messages during initial name table exchangeAllan Stephens1-3/+19
Reduces the maximum size of messages sent during the initial exchange of name table information between two nodes to be no larger than the MTU of the first link established between the nodes. This ensures that messages will never need to be fragmented, which would add unnecessary overhead to the name table synchronization mechanism.

2011-06-24tipc: Cleanup of message header size terminologyAllan Stephens1-3/+3
Performs cosmetic cleanup of the symbolic names used to specify TIPC payload message header sizes. The revised names now more accurately reflect the payload messages in which they can appear. In addition, several places where these payload message symbol names were being used to create non-payload messages have been updated to use the proper internal message symbolic name. No functional changes are introduced by this rework. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

2011-03-13tipc: cosmetic - function names are not to be full sentencesPaul Gortmaker1-1/+1
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. This is a cosmetic change, basic result of: for i in `grep -l tipc_node_has_ *` ; do sed -i s/tipc_node_has_/tipc_node_/ $i ; done Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2011-03-13tipc: Convert node object array to a hash tableAllan Stephens1-4/+2
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: Split up unified structure of network-related variablesAllan Stephens1-2/+2
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. This change is essentially cosmetic in nature, and doesn't affect the operation of TIPC.

2011-03-13tipc: Cosmetic changes to node subscription codeAllan Stephens1-3/+4
Relocates the code that notifies users of node subscriptions so that it is adjacent to the rest of the routines that implement TIPC's node subscription capability. Renames the name table routine that is invoked by a node subscription to better reflect its purpose and to be consistent with other, similar name table routines. These changes are cosmetic in nature, and do not alter the behavior of TIPC. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <Allan.Stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2011-03-13tipc: Prevent null pointer error when removing a node subscriptionAllan Stephens1-2/+3
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.
