Until now, we have been keeping track of the exact set of broadcast
destinations though the help structure tipc_node_map. This leads us to
have to maintain a whole infrastructure for supporting this, including
a pseudo-bearer and a number of functions to manipulate both the bearers
and the node map correctly. Apart from the complexity, this approach is
also limiting, as struct tipc_node_map only can support cluster local
broadcast if we want to avoid it becoming excessively large. We want to
eliminate this limitation, in order to enable introduction of scoped
multicast in the future.

A closer analysis reveals that it is unnecessary maintaining this "full
set" overview; it is sufficient to keep a counter per bearer, indicating
how many nodes can be reached via this bearer at the moment. The protocol
is now robust enough to handle transitional discrepancies between the
nominal number of reachable destinations, as expected by the broadcast
protocol itself, and the number which is actually reachable at the
moment. The initial broadcast synchronization, in conjunction with the
retransmission mechanism, ensures that all packets will eventually be
acknowledged by the correct set of destinations.

This commit introduces these changes.

When a link is taken down because of a node local event, such as
disabling of a bearer or an interface, we currently leave it to the
peer node to discover the broken communication. The default time for
such failure discovery is 1.5-2 seconds.

If we instead allow the terminating link endpoint to send out a RESET
message at the moment it is reset, we can achieve the impression that
both endpoints are going down instantly. Since this is a very common
scenario, we find it worthwhile to make this small modification.

Apart from letting the link produce the said message, we also have to
ensure that the interface is able to transmit it before TIPC is
detached. We do this by performing the disabling of a bearer in three
steps:

1) Disable reception of TIPC packets from the interface in question.
2) Take down the links, while allowing them so send out a RESET message.
3) Disable transmission of TIPC packets on the interface.

Apart from this, we now have to react on the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN event,
instead of as currently the NEDEV_DOWN event, to ensure that such
transmission is possible during the teardown phase.

Currently, message sending is performed through a deep call chain,
where the node spinlock is grabbed and held during a significant
part of the transmission time. This is clearly detrimental to
overall throughput performance; it would be better if we could send
the message after the spinlock has been released.

In this commit, we do instead let the call revert on the stack after
the buffer chain has been added to the transmission queue, whereafter
clones of the buffers are transmitted to the device layer outside the
spinlock scope.

As a further step in our effort to separate the roles of the node

commit afaa3f65
(tipc: purge links when bearer is disabled) was an attempt to resolve
a problem that turned out to have a more profound reason.

When we disable a bearer, we delete all its pertaining links if
there is no other bearer to perform failover to, or if the module
is shutting down. In case there are dual bearers, we wait with
deleting links until the failover procedure is finished.

However, this misses the case when a link on the removed bearer
was already down, so that there will be no failover procedure to
finish the link delete. This causes confusion if a new bearer is
added to replace the removed one, and also entails a small memory
leak.

This commit takes the current state of the link into account when
deciding when to delete it, and also reverses the above-mentioned
commit.

A new netlink API for tipc that can disable or enable a tipc bearer.

The new API is separated from the old API because of a bug in the
user space client (tipc-config). The problem is that older versions
of tipc-config has a very low receive limit and adding commands to

The new API utilizes netlink policies for input validation. Where the
top-level netlink attributes are tipc-logical entities, like bearer.
The top level entities then contain nested attributes. In this case
a name, nested link properties and a domain.

TIPC currently handles two media specific addresses: Ethernet MAC
addresses and InfiniBand addresses. Those are kept in three different
formats:

1) A "raw" format as obtained from the device. This format is known
   only by the media specific adapter code in eth_media.c and
   ib_media.c.
2) A "generic" internal format, in the form of struct tipc_media_addr,
   which can be referenced and passed around by the generic media-
   unaware code.
3) A serialized version of the latter, to be conveyed in neighbor
   discovery messages.

Conversion between the three formats can only be done by the media
specific code, so we have function pointers for this purpose in
struct tipc_media. Here, the media adapters can install their own
conversion functions at startup.

We now introduce a new such function, 'raw2addr()', whose purpose
is to convert from format 1 to format 2 above. We also try to as far
as possible uniform commenting, variable names and usage of these
functions, with the purpose of making them more comprehensible.

We can now also remove the function tipc_l2_media_addr_set(), whose
job is done better by the new function.

Finally, we expand the field for serialized addresses (format 3)
in discovery messages from 20 to 32 bytes. This is permitted
according to the spec, and reduces the risk of problems when we
add new media in the future.

In order to fix the issue, the process of resetting the discovery
request handler is optimized: the discovery request handler and request
buffer are just reset instead of being freed, allocated and initialized.
As the request point is always valid and the request's lock is taken
while the request handler is reset, the race doesn't happen any more.

Now tipc routing hierarchy comprises the structures 'node', 'link'and
'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big read/write lock,
tipc_net_lock, to ensure that nothing is added or removed while code
is accessing any of these structures. Obviously the locking policy
makes node, link and bearer components closely bound together so that
their relationship becomes unnecessarily complex. In the worst case,
such locking policy not only has a negative influence on performance,
but also it's prone to lead to deadlock occasionally.

In order o decouple the complex relationship between bearer and node
as well as link, the locking policy is adjusted as follows:

- Bearer level
  RTNL lock is used on update side, and RCU is used on read side.
  Meanwhile, all bearer instances including broadcast bearer are
  saved into bearer_list array.

- Node and link level
  All node instances are saved into two tipc_node_list and node_htable
  lists. The two lists are protected by node_list_lock on write side,
  and they are guarded with RCU lock on read side. All members in node
  structure including link instances are protected by node spin lock.

- The relationship between bearer and node
  When link accesses bearer, it first needs to find the bearer with
  its bearer identity from the bearer_list array. When bearer accesses
  node, it can iterate the node_htable hash list with the node
  address to find the corresponding node.

In the new locking policy, every component has its private locking
solution and the relationship between bearer and node is very simple,
that is, they can find each other with node address or bearer identity
from node_htable hash list or bearer_list array.

Until now above all changes have been done, so tipc_net_lock can be
removed safely.

Now the media_ptr pointer is protected with tipc_net_lock write lock
on write side; tipc_net_lock read lock is used to read side. As the
part of effort of eliminating tipc_net_lock, we decide to adjust the
locking policy of media_ptr pointer protection: on write side, RTNL
lock is use while on read side RCU read lock is applied.
