In line with our effort to let the node level have full control over
its links, we want to move all link reset calls from link.c to node.c.
Some of the calls can be moved by simply moving the calling function,
when this is the right thing to do. For the remaining calls we use
the now established technique of returning a TIPC_LINK_DOWN_EVT
flag from tipc_link_rcv(), whereafter we perform the reset call when
the call returns.

This change serves as a preparation for the coming commits.

The function tipc_link_activate() is redundant, since it mostly performs
settings that have already been done in a preceding tipc_link_reset().

There are three exceptions to this:
- The actual state change to TIPC_LINK_WORKING. This should anyway be done
  in the FSM, and not in a separate function.
- Registration of the link with the bearer. This should be done by the
  node, since we don't want the link to have any knowledge about its
  specific bearer.
- Call to tipc_node_link_up() for user access registration. With the new
  role distribution between link aggregation and link level this becomes
  the wrong call order; tipc_node_link_up() should instead be called
  directly as a result of a TIPC_LINK_UP event, hence by the node itself.

This commit implements those changes.

We convert packet/message reception according to the same principle
we have been using for message sending and timeout handling:

We move the function tipc_rcv() to node.c, hence handling the initial
packet reception at the link aggregation level. The function grabs
the node lock, selects the receiving link, and accesses it via a new
call tipc_link_rcv(). This function appends buffers to the input
queue for delivery upwards, but it may also append outgoing packets
to the xmit queue, just as we do during regular message sending. The
latter will happen when buffers are forwarded from the link backlog,
or when retransmission is requested.

Upon return of this function, and after having released the node lock,
tipc_rcv() delivers/tranmsits the contents of those queues, but it may
also perform actions such as link activation or reset, as indicated by
the return flags from the link.

This reduces the number of cpu cycles spent inside the node spinlock,
and reduces contention on that lock.

The link FSM implementation is currently unnecessarily complex.
It sometimes checks for conditional state outside the FSM data
before deciding next state, and often performs actions directly
inside the FSM logics.

In this commit, we create a second, simpler FSM implementation,
that as far as possible acts only on states and events that it is
strictly defined for, and postpone any actions until it is finished
with its decisions. It also returns an event flag field and an a
buffer queue which may potentially contain a protocol message to
be sent by the caller.

Unfortunately, we cannot yet make the FSM "clean", in the sense
that its decisions are only based on FSM state and event, and that
state changes happen only here. That will have to wait until the
activate/reset logics has been cleaned up in a future commit.

We also rename the link states as follows:

WORKING_WORKING -> TIPC_LINK_WORKING
WORKING_UNKNOWN -> TIPC_LINK_PROBING
RESET_UNKNOWN   -> TIPC_LINK_RESETTING
RESET_RESET     -> TIPC_LINK_ESTABLISHING

The existing FSM function, link_state_event(), is still needed for
a while, so we redesign it to make use of the new function.

The status flag LINK_STOPPED is not needed any more, since the
mechanism for delayed deletion of links has been removed.
Likewise, LINK_STARTED and LINK_START_EVT are unnecessary,
because we can just as well start the link timer directly from
inside tipc_link_create().

We eliminate these flags in this commit.

Instead of the above flags, we now introduce three new link modes,
TIPC_LINK_OPEN, TIPC_LINK_BLOCKED and TIPC_LINK_TUNNEL. The values
indicate whether, and in the case of TIPC_LINK_TUNNEL, which, messages
the link is allowed to receive in this state. TIPC_LINK_BLOCKED also
blocks timer-driven protocol messages to be sent out, and any change
to the link FSM. Since the modes are mutually exclusive, we convert
them to state values, and rename the 'flags' field in struct tipc_link
to 'exec_mode'.

Finally, we move the #defines for link FSM states and events from link.h
into enums inside the file link.c, which is the real usage scope of
these definitions.

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

When a link is being established, the two endpoints advertise their
respective interface MTU in the transmitted RESET and ACTIVATE messages.
If there is any difference, the lower of the two MTUs will be selected
for use by both endpoints.

However, as a remnant of earlier attempts to introduce TIPC level
routing. there also exists an MTU discovery mechanism. If an intermediate
node has a lower MTU than the two endpoints, they will discover this
through a bisectional approach, and finally adopt this MTU for common use.

Since there is no TIPC level routing, and probably never will be,
this mechanism doesn't make any sense, and only serves to make the
link level protocol unecessarily complex.

In this commit, we eliminate the MTU discovery algorithm,and fall back
to the simple MTU advertising approach. This change is fully backwards

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,

Despite recent improvements, the establishment of dual parallel
links still has a small glitch where messages can bypass each
other. When the second link in a dual-link configuration is
established, part of the first link's traffic will be steered over
to the new link. Although we do have a mechanism to ensure that
packets sent before and after the establishment of the new link
arrive in sequence to the destination node, this is not enough.
The arriving messages will still be delivered upwards in different
threads, something entailing a risk of message disordering during
the transition phase.

To fix this, we introduce a synchronization mechanism between the
two parallel links, so that traffic arriving on the new link cannot
be added to its input queue until we are guaranteed that all
pre-establishment messages have been delivered on the old, parallel
link.

This problem seems to always have been around, but its occurrence is
so rare that it has not been noticed until recent intensive testing.

Currently, we only use a single counter; the length of the backlog
queue, to determine whether a message should be accepted to the queue
or not. Each time a message is being sent, the queue length is compared
to a threshold value for the message's importance priority. If the queue
length is beyond this threshold, the message is rejected. This algorithm
implies a risk of starvation of low importance senders during very high
load, because it may take a long time before the backlog queue has
decreased enough to accept a lower level message.

We now eliminate this risk by introducing a counter for each importance
priority. When a message is sent, we check only the queue level for that
particular message's priority. If that is ok, the message can be added
to the backlog, irrespective of the queue level for other priorities.
This way, each level is guaranteed a certain portion of the total
bandwidth, and any risk of starvation is eliminated.

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.

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

During link failover it may happen that the remaining link goes
down while it is still in the process of taking over traffic
from a previously failed link. When this happens, we currently
abort the failover procedure and reset the first failed link to
non-failover mode, so that it will be ready to re-establish
contact with its peer when it comes available.

However, if the first link goes down because its bearer was manually
disabled, it is not enough to reset it; it must also be deleted;
which is supposed to happen when the failover procedure is finished.
Otherwise it will remain a zombie link: attached to the owner node
structure, in mode LINK_STOPPED, and permanently blocking any re-
establishing of the link to the peer via the interface in question.

We fix this by amending the failover abort procedure. Apart from
resetting the link to non-failover state, we test if the link is
also in LINK_STOPPED mode. If so, we delete it, using the conditional
tipc_link_delete() function introduced in the previous commit.

When a bearer is disabled, all pertaining links will be reset and

link's destination, the delete has to be postponed until the failover
is finished. During this interval, we currently put the link in zombie
mode, i.e., we take it out of traffic, delete its timer, but leave it
attached to the owner node structure until all missing packets have
been received.  When this is done, we detach the link from its node
and delete it, assuming that the synchronous timer deletion that was
initiated earlier in a different thread has finished.

This is unsafe, as the failover may finish before del_timer_sync()
has returned in the other thread.

We fix this by adding an atomic reference counter of type kref in
struct tipc_link. The counter keeps track of the references kept
to the link by the owner node and the timer. We then do a conditional
delete, based on the reference counter, both after the failover has
been finished and when the timer expires, if applicable. Whoever
comes last, will actually delete the link. This approach also implies
that we can make the deletion of the timer asynchronous.
