2020-06-17tipc: update a binding service via broadcastHoang Huu Le1-0/+2
Currently, updating binding table (add service binding to name table/withdraw a service binding) is being sent over replicast. However, if we are scaling up clusters to > 100 nodes/containers this method is less affection because of looping through nodes in a cluster one by one. It is worth to use broadcast to update a binding service. This way, the binding table can be updated on all peer nodes in one shot. Broadcast is used when all peer nodes, as indicated by a new capability flag TIPC_NAMED_BCAST, support reception of this message type. Four problems need to be considered when introducing this feature. 1) When establishing a link to a new peer node we still update this by a unicast 'bulk' update. This may lead to race conditions, where a later broadcast publication/withdrawal bypass the 'bulk', resulting in disordered publications, or even that a withdrawal may arrive before the corresponding publication. We solve this by adding an 'is_last_bulk' bit in the last bulk messages so that it can be distinguished from all other messages. Only when this message has arrived do we open up for reception of broadcast publications/withdrawals. 2) When a first legacy node is added to the cluster all distribution will switch over to use the legacy 'replicast' method, while the opposite happens when the last legacy node leaves the cluster. This entails another risk of message disordering that has to be handled. We solve this by adding a sequence number to the broadcast/replicast messages, so that disordering can be discovered and corrected. Note however that we don't need to consider potential message loss or duplication at this protocol level. 3) Bulk messages don't contain any sequence numbers, and will always arrive in order. Hence we must exempt those from the sequence number control and deliver them unconditionally. We solve this by adding a new 'is_bulk' bit in those messages so that they can be recognized. 4) Legacy messages, which don't contain any new bits or sequence numbers, but neither can arrive out of order, also need to be exempt from the initial synchronization and sequence number check, and delivered unconditionally. Therefore, we add another 'is_not_legacy' bit to all new messages so that those can be distinguished from legacy messages and the latter delivered directly. v1->v2: - fix warning issue reported by kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> - add santiy check to drop the publication message with a sequence number that is lower than the agreed synch point Signed-off-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Hoang Huu Le <hoang.h.le@dektech.com.au> Acked-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2019-11-22tipc: support in-order name publication eventsTuong Lien1-0/+4
It is observed that TIPC service binding order will not be kept in the publication event report to user if the service is subscribed after the bindings. For example, services are bound by application in the following order: Server: bound port A to {18888,66,66} scope 2 Server: bound port A to {18888,33,33} scope 2 Now, if a client subscribes to the service range (e.g. {18888, 0-100}), it will get the 'TIPC_PUBLISHED' events in that binding order only when the subscription is started before the bindings. Otherwise, if started after the bindings, the events will arrive in the opposite order: Client: received event for published {18888,33,33} Client: received event for published {18888,66,66} For the latter case, it is clear that the bindings have existed in the name table already, so when reported, the events' order will follow the order of the rbtree binding nodes (- a node with lesser 'lower'/'upper' range value will be first). This is correct as we provide the tracking on a specific service status (available or not), not the relationship between multiple services. However, some users expect to see the same order of arriving events irrespective of when the subscription is issued. This turns out to be easy to fix. We now add functionality to ensure that publication events always are issued in the same temporal order as the corresponding bindings were performed. v2: replace the unnecessary macro - 'publication_after()' with inline function. v3: reuse 'time_after32()' instead of reinventing the same exact code.

2018-10-22tipc: eliminate message disordering during binding table updateJon Maloy1-0/+1
We have seen the following race scenario: 1) named_distribute() builds a "bulk" message, containing a PUBLISH item for a certain publication. This is based on the contents of the binding tables's 'cluster_scope' list. 2) tipc_named_withdraw() removes the same publication from the list, bulds a WITHDRAW message and distributes it to all cluster nodes. 3) tipc_named_node_up(), which was calling named_distribute(), sends out the bulk message built under 1) 4) The WITHDRAW message arrives at the just detected node, finds no corresponding publication, and is dropped. 5) The PUBLISH item arrives at the same node, is added to its binding table, and remains there forever. This arrival disordering was earlier taken care of by the backlog queue, originally added for a different purpose, which was removed in the commit referred to below, but we now need a different solution. In this commit, we replace the rcu lock protecting the 'cluster_scope' list with a regular RW lock which comprises even the sending of the bulk message. This both guarantees both the list integrity and the message sending order. We will later add a commit which cleans up this code further. Note that this commit needs recently added commit d3092b2efca1 ("tipc: fix unsafe rcu locking when accessing publication list") to apply cleanly.

2018-08-27tipc: fix the big/little endian issue in tipc_destHaiqing Bai1-7/+2
In function tipc_dest_push, the 32bit variables 'node' and 'port' are stored separately in uppper and lower part of 64bit 'value'. Then this value is assigned to dst->value which is a union like: union { struct { u32 port; u32 node; }; u64 value; } This works on little-endian machines like x86 but fails on big-endian machines.

2018-04-12tipc: fix unbalanced reference counterJon Maloy1-1/+1
When a topology subscription is created, we may encounter (or KASAN may provoke) a failure to create a corresponding service instance in the binding table. Instead of letting the tipc_nametbl_subscribe() report the failure back to the caller, the function just makes a warning printout and returns, without incrementing the subscription reference counter as expected by the caller. This makes the caller believe that the subscription was successful, so it will at a later moment try to unsubscribe the item. This involves a sub_put() call. Since the reference counter never was incremented in the first place, we get a premature delete of the subscription item, followed by a "use-after-free" warning. We fix this by adding a return value to tipc_nametbl_subscribe() and make the caller aware of the failure to subscribe. This bug seems to always have been around, but this fix only applies back to the commit shown below. Given the low risk of this happening we believe this to be sufficient.

2018-03-31tipc: permit overlapping service ranges in name tableJon Maloy1-4/+4
With the new RB tree structure for service ranges it becomes possible to solve an old problem; - we can now allow overlapping service ranges in the table. When inserting a new service range to the tree, we use 'lower' as primary key, and when necessary 'upper' as secondary key. Since there may now be multiple service ranges matching an indicated 'lower' value, we must also add the 'upper' value to the functions used for removing publications, so that the correct, corresponding range item can be found. These changes guarantee that a well-formed publication/withdrawal item from a peer node never will be rejected, and make it possible to eliminate the problematic backlog functionality we currently have for handling such cases.

2018-03-31tipc: replace name table service range array with rb treeJon Maloy1-1/+1
The current design of the binding table has an unnecessary memory consuming and complex data structure. It aggregates the service range items into an array, which is expanded by a factor two every time it becomes too small to hold a new item. Furthermore, the arrays never shrink when the number of ranges diminishes. We now replace this array with an RB tree that is holding the range items as tree nodes, each range directly holding a list of bindings. This, along with a few name changes, improves both readability and volume of the code, as well as reducing memory consumption and hopefully improving cache hit rate.

2018-02-16tipc: simplify endianness handling in topology subscriberJon Maloy1-1/+1
Because of the requirement for total distribution transparency, users send subscriptions and receive topology events in their own host format. It is up to the topology server to determine this format and do the correct conversions to and from its own host format when needed. Until now, this has been handled in a rather non-transparent way inside the topology server and subscriber code, leading to unnecessary complexity when creating subscriptions and issuing events. We now improve this situation by adding two new macros, tipc_sub_read() and tipc_evt_write(). Both those functions calculate the need for conversion internally before performing their respective operations. Hence, all handling of such conversions become transparent to the rest of the code.

2018-01-15tipc: fix bug during lookup of multicast destination nodesJon Maloy1-2/+1
In commit 232d07b74a33 ("tipc: improve groupcast scope handling") we inadvertently broke non-group multicast transmission when changing the parameter 'domain' to 'scope' in the function tipc_nametbl_lookup_dst_nodes(). We missed to make the corresponding change in the calling function, with the result that the lookup always fails. A closer anaysis reveals that this parameter is not needed at all. Non-group multicast is hard coded to use CLUSTER_SCOPE, and in the current implementation this will be delivered to all matching destinations except those which are published with NODE_SCOPE on other nodes. Since such publications never will be visible on the sending node anyway, it makes no sense to discriminate by scope at all. We now remove this parameter altogether.

2018-01-09tipc: improve groupcast scope handlingJon Maloy1-2/+2
When a member joins a group, it also indicates a binding scope. This makes it possible to create both node local groups, invisible to other nodes, as well as cluster global groups, visible everywhere. In order to avoid that different members end up having permanently differing views of group size and memberhip, we must inhibit locally and globally bound members from joining the same group. We do this by using the binding scope as an additional separator between groups. I.e., a member must ignore all membership events from sockets using a different scope than itself, and all lookups for message destinations must require an exact match between the message's lookup scope and the potential target's binding scope. Apart from making it possible to create local groups using the same identity on different nodes, a side effect of this is that it now also becomes possible to create a cluster global group with the same identity across the same nodes, without interfering with the local groups.

2018-01-09tipc: add option to suppress PUBLISH events for pre-existing publicationsJon Maloy1-1/+1
Currently, when a user is subscribing for binding table publications, he will receive a PUBLISH event for all already existing matching items in the binding table. However, a group socket making a subscriptions doesn't need this initial status update from the binding table, because it has already scanned it during the join operation. Worse, the multiplicatory effect of issuing mutual events for dozens or hundreds group members within a short time frame put a heavy load on the topology server, with the end result that scale out operations on a big group tend to take much longer than needed. We now add a new filter option, TIPC_SUB_NO_STATUS, for topology server subscriptions, so that this initial avalanche of events is suppressed. This change, along with the previous commit, significantly improves the range and speed of group scale out operations. We keep the new option internal for the tipc driver, at least for now.

In this commit, we make it possible to send connectionless unicast messages to any member corresponding to the given member identity, when there is more than one such member. The sender must use a TIPC_ADDR_NAME address to achieve this effect. We also perform load balancing between the destinations, i.e., we primarily select one which has advertised sufficient send window to not cause a block/EAGAIN delay, if any. This mechanism is overlayed on the always present round-robin selection. Anycast messages are subject to the same start synchronization and flow control mechanism as group broadcast messages.

2017-10-13tipc: introduce communication groupsJon Maloy1-0/+3
As a preparation for introducing flow control for multicast and datagram messaging we need a more strictly defined framework than we have now. A socket must be able keep track of exactly how many and which other sockets it is allowed to communicate with at any moment, and keep the necessary state for those. We therefore introduce a new concept we have named Communication Group. Sockets can join a group via a new setsockopt() call TIPC_GROUP_JOIN. The call takes four parameters: 'type' serves as group identifier, 'instance' serves as an logical member identifier, and 'scope' indicates the visibility of the group (node/cluster/zone). Finally, 'flags' makes it possible to set certain properties for the member. For now, there is only one flag, indicating if the creator of the socket wants to receive a copy of broadcast or multicast messages it is sending via the socket, and if wants to be eligible as destination for its own anycasts. A group is closed, i.e., sockets which have not joined a group will not be able to send messages to or receive messages from members of the group, and vice versa. Any member of a group can send multicast ('group broadcast') messages to all group members, optionally including itself, using the primitive send(). The messages are received via the recvmsg() primitive. A socket can only be member of one group at a time.

In a previous commit in this series we resolved a race problem during unicast message reception. Here, we resolve the same problem at multicast reception. We apply the same technique: an input queue serializing the delivery of arriving buffers. The main difference is that here we do it in two steps. First, the broadcast link feeds arriving buffers into the tail of an arrival queue, which head is consumed at the socket level, and where destination lookup is performed. Second, if the lookup is successful, the resulting buffer clones are fed into a second queue, the input queue. This queue is consumed at reception in the socket just like in the unicast case. Both queues are protected by the same lock, -the one of the input queue. Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
