      tipc: rename node create lock to protect node list and hlist · 46651c59
      Ying Xue 提交于
      When a node is created, tipc_net_lock read lock is first held and
      then node_create_lock is grabbed in order to prevent the same node
      from being created and inserted into both node list and hlist twice.
      But when we query node from the two node lists, we only hold
      tipc_net_lock read lock without grabbing node_create_lock. Obviously
      this locking policy is unable to guarantee that the two node lists
      are always synchronized especially when the operation of changing
      and accessing them occurs in different contexts like currently doing.
      
      Therefore, rename node_create_lock to node_list_lock to protect the
      two node lists, that is, whenever node is inserted into them or node
      is queried from them, the node_list_lock should be always held. As a
      result, tipc_net_lock read lock becomes redundant and then can be
      removed from the node query functions.

      tipc: remove 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE link protocol messages · b9d4c339
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      The flag 'has_redundant_link' is defined only in RESET and ACTIVATE
      protocol messages. Due to an ambiguity in the protocol specification it
      is currently also transferred in STATE messages. Its value is used to
      initialize a link state variable, 'permit_changeover', which is used
      to inhibit futile link failover attempts when it is known that the
      peer node has no working links at the moment, although the local node
      may still think it has one.
      
      The fact that 'has_redundant_link' incorrectly is read from STATE
      messages has the effect that 'permit_changeover' sometimes gets a wrong
      value, and permanently blocks any links from being re-established. Such
      failures can only occur in in dual-link systems, and are extremely rare.
      This bug seems to have always been present in the code.
      
      Furthermore, since commit b4b56102
      ("tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them"),
      the 'permit_changeover' field serves no purpose any more. The task of
      enforcing 'lost contact' cycles at both peer endpoints is now taken
      by a new mechanism, using the flags WAIT_NODE_DOWN and WAIT_PEER_DOWN
      in struct tipc_node to abort unnecessary failover attempts.
      
      We therefore remove the 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE messages,
      as well as the now redundant 'permit_changeover' variable.

      tipc: message reassembly using fragment chain · 40ba3cdf
      Erik Hugne 提交于
      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.

      tipc: Major redesign of broadcast link ACK/NACK algorithms · 7a54d4a9
      Allan Stephens 提交于
      Completely redesigns broadcast link ACK and NACK mechanisms to prevent
      spurious retransmit requests in dual LAN networks, and to prevent the
      broadcast link from stalling due to the failure of a receiving node to
      acknowledge receiving a broadcast message or request its retransmission.
      
      Note: These changes only impact the timing of when ACK and NACK messages
      are sent, and not the basic broadcast link protocol itself, so inter-
      operability with nodes using the "classic" algorithms is maintained.
      
      The revised algorithms are as follows:
      
      1) An explicit ACK message is still sent after receiving 16 in-sequence
      messages, and implicit ACK information continues to be carried in other
      unicast link message headers (including link state messages).  However,
      the timing of explicit ACKs is now based on the receiving node's absolute
      network address rather than its relative network address to ensure that
      the failure of another node does not delay the ACK beyond its 16 message
      target.
      
      2) A NACK message is now typically sent only when a message gap persists
      for two consecutive incoming link state messages; this ensures that a
      suspected gap is not confirmed until both LANs in a dual LAN network have
      had an opportunity to deliver the message, thereby preventing spurious NACKs.
      A NACK message can also be generated by the arrival of a single link state
      message, if the deferred queue is so big that the current message gap
      cannot be the result of "normal" mis-ordering due to the use of dual LANs
      (or one LAN using a bonded interface). Since link state messages typically
      arrive at different nodes at different times the problem of multiple nodes
      issuing identical NACKs simultaneously is inherently avoided.
      
      3) Nodes continue to "peek" at NACK messages sent by other nodes. If
      another node requests retransmission of a message gap suspected (but not
      yet confirmed) by the peeking node, the peeking node forgets about the
      gap and does not generate a duplicate retransmit request. (If the peeking
      node subsequently fails to receive the lost message, later link state
      messages will cause it to rediscover and confirm the gap and send another
      NACK.)
      
      4) Message gap "equality" is now determined by the start of the gap only.
      This is sufficient to deal with the most common cases of message loss,
      and eliminates the need for complex end of gap computations.
      
      5) A peeking node no longer tries to determine whether it should send a
      complementary NACK, since the most common cases of message loss don't
      require it to be sent. Consequently, the node no longer examines the
      "broadcast tag" field of a NACK message when peeking.

      tipc: Ensure broadcast link re-acquires node after link failure · 93499313
      Allan Stephens 提交于
      Fix a bug that can prevent TIPC from sending broadcast messages to a node
      if contact with the node is lost and then regained. The problem occurs if
      the broadcast link first clears the flag indicating the node is part of the
      link's distribution set (when it loses contact with the node), and later
      fails to restore the flag (when contact is regained); restoration fails
      if contact with the node is regained by implicit unicast link activation
      triggered by the arrival of a data message, rather than explicitly by the
      arrival of a link activation message.
      
      The broadcast link now uses separate fields to track whether a node is
      theoretically capable of receiving broadcast messages versus whether it is
      actually part of the link's distribution set. The former member is updated
      by the receipt of link protocol messages, which can occur at any time; the
      latter member is updated only when contact with the node is gained or lost.
      This change also permits the simplification of several conditional
      expressions since the broadcast link's "supported" field can now only be
      set if there are working links to the associated node.

      tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them · b4b56102
      Allan Stephens 提交于
      Enhances TIPC to ensure that a node that loses contact with a
      neighboring node does not allow contact to be re-established until
      it sees that its peer has also recognized the loss of contact.
      
      Previously, nodes that were connected by two or more links could
      encounter a situation in which node A would lose contact with node B
      on all of its links, purge its name table of names published by B,
      and then fail to repopulate those names once contact with B was restored.
      This would happen because B was able to re-establish one or more links
      so quickly that it never reached a point where it had no links to A --
      meaning that B never saw a loss of contact with A, and consequently
      didn't re-publish its names to A.
      
      This problem is now prevented by enhancing the cleanup done by TIPC
      following a loss of contact with a neighboring node to ensure that
      node A ignores all messages sent by B until it receives a LINK_PROTOCOL
      message that indicates B has lost contact with A, thereby preventing
      the (re)establishment of links between the nodes. The loss of contact
      is recognized when a RESET or ACTIVATE message is received that has
      a "redundant link exists" field of 0, indicating that B's sending link
      endpoint is in a reset state and that B has no other working links.
      
      Additionally, TIPC now suppresses the sending of (most) link protocol
      messages to a neighboring node while it is cleaning up after an earlier
      loss of contact with that node. This stops the peer node from prematurely
      activating its link endpoint, which would prevent TIPC from later
      activating its own end. TIPC still allows outgoing RESET messages to
      occur during cleanup, to avoid problems if its own node recognizes
      the loss of contact first and tries to notify the peer of the situation.
      
      Finally, TIPC now recognizes an impending loss of contact with a peer node
      as soon as it receives a RESET message on a working link that is the
      peer's only link to the node, and ensures that the link protocol
      suppression mentioned above goes into effect right away -- that is,
      even before its own link endpoints have failed. This is necessary to
      ensure correct operation when there are redundant links between the nodes,
      since otherwise TIPC would send an ACTIVATE message upon receiving a RESET
      on its first link and only begin suppressing when a RESET on its second
      link was received, instead of initiating suppression with the first RESET
      message as it needs to.
      
      Note: The reworked cleanup code also eliminates a check that prevented
      a link endpoint's discovery object from responding to incoming messages
      while stale name table entries are being purged. This check is now
      unnecessary and would have slowed down re-establishment of communication
      between the nodes in some situations.

      tipc: Convert node object array to a hash table · 672d99e1
      Allan Stephens 提交于
      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.
