Currently, the packet sequence number is updated and added to each
packet at the moment a packet is added to the link backlog queue.
This is wasteful, since it forces the code to traverse the send
packet list packet by packet when adding them to the backlog queue.
It would be better to just splice the whole packet list into the
backlog queue when that is the right action to do.

In this commit, we do this change. Also, since the sequence numbers
cannot now be assigned to the packets at the moment they are added
the backlog queue, we do instead calculate and add them at the moment
of transmission, when the backlog queue has to be traversed anyway.
We do this in the function tipc_link_push_packet().

The link congestion algorithm used until now implies two problems.

- It is too generous towards lower-level messages in situations of high
  load by giving "absolute" bandwidth guarantees to the different
  priority levels. LOW traffic is guaranteed 10%, MEDIUM is guaranted
  20%, HIGH is guaranteed 30%, and CRITICAL is guaranteed 40% of the
  available bandwidth. But, in the absence of higher level traffic, the
  ratio between two distinct levels becomes unreasonable. E.g. if there
  is only LOW and MEDIUM traffic on a system, the former is guaranteed
  1/3 of the bandwidth, and the latter 2/3. This again means that if
  there is e.g. one LOW user and 10 MEDIUM users, the  former will have
  33.3% of the bandwidth, and the others will have to compete for the
  remainder, i.e. each will end up with 6.7% of the capacity.

- Packets of type MSG_BUNDLER are created at SYSTEM importance level,
  but only after the packets bundled into it have passed the congestion
  test for their own respective levels. Since bundled packets don't
  result in incrementing the level counter for their own importance,
  only occasionally for the SYSTEM level counter, they do in practice
  obtain SYSTEM level importance. Hence, the current implementation
  provides a gap in the congestion algorithm that in the worst case
  may lead to a link reset.

We now refine the congestion algorithm as follows:

- A message is accepted to the link backlog only if its own level
  counter, and all superior level counters, permit it.

- The importance of a created bundle packet is set according to its
  contents. A bundle packet created from messges at levels LOW to
  CRITICAL is given importance level CRITICAL, while a bundle created
  from a SYSTEM level message is given importance SYSTEM. In the latter
  case only subsequent SYSTEM level messages are allowed to be bundled
  into it.

This solves the first problem described above, by making the bandwidth
guarantee relative to the total number of users at all levels; only
the upper limit for each level remains absolute. In the example
described above, the single LOW user would use 1/11th of the bandwidth,
the same as each of the ten MEDIUM users, but he still has the same
guarantee against starvation as the latter ones.

The fix also solves the second problem. If the CRITICAL level is filled
up by bundle packets of that level, no lower level packets will be
accepted any more.

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.

A message sent to a node after a successful name table lookup may still
find that the destination socket has disappeared, because distribution
of name table updates is non-atomic. If so, the message will be rejected
back to the sender with error code TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT. If the source
socket of the message has disappeared in the meantime, the message
should be dropped.

However, in the currrent code, the message will instead be subject to an
unwanted tertiary lookup, because the function tipc_msg_lookup_dest()
doesn't check if there is an error code present in the message before
performing the lookup. In the worst case, the message may now find the
old destination again, and be redirected once more, instead of being
dropped directly as it should be.

A second bug in this function is that the "prev_node" field in the message
is not updated after successful lookup, something that may have
unpredictable consequences.

Messages transferred by TIPC are assigned an "importance priority", -an
integer value indicating how to treat the message when there is link or
destination socket congestion.

There is no separate header field for this value. Instead, the message
user values have been chosen in ascending order according to perceived
importance, so that the message user field can be used for this.

This is not a good solution. First, we have many more users than the
needed priority levels, so we end up with treating more priority
levels than necessary. Second, the user field cannot always
accurately reflect the priority of the message. E.g., a message
fragment packet should really have the priority of the enveloped
user data message, and not the priority of the MSG_FRAGMENTER user.
Until now, we have been working around this problem in different ways,
but it is now time to implement a consistent way of handling such
priorities, although still within the constraint that we cannot
allocate any more bits in the regular data message header for this.

In this commit, we define a new priority level, TIPC_SYSTEM_IMPORTANCE,
that will be the only one used apart from the four (lower) user data
levels. All non-data messages map down to this priority. Furthermore,
we take some free bits from the MSG_FRAGMENTER header and allocate
them to store the priority of the enveloped message. We then adjust
the functions msg_importance()/msg_set_importance() so that they
read/set the correct header fields depending on user type.

This small protocol change is fully compatible, because the code at
the receiving end of a link currently reads the importance level
only from user data messages, where there is no change.

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

The current link implementation keeps a linked list of blocked ports/

of this is to let the link know which users to wake up when the
congestion abates.

This adds unnecessary complexity to the data structure and the code,
since it forces us to involve the link each time we want to delete
a socket. It also forces us to grab the spinlock port_lock within
the scope of node_lock. We want to get rid of this direct dependence,
as well as the deadlock hazard resulting from the usage of port_lock.

In this commit, we instead let the link keep list of a "wakeup" pseudo
messages for use in such situations. Those messages are sent to the
pending sockets via the ordinary message reception path, and wake up
the socket's owner when they are received.

This enables us to get rid of the 'waiting_ports' linked lists in struct
tipc_port that manifest this direct reference. As a consequence, we can
eliminate another BH entry into the socket, and hence the need to grab
port_lock. This is a further step in our effort to remove port_lock

not, if the caller holds the node_lock or not. The permutation of
these options gives us an unwanted amount of unnecessarily complex

As a first step towards simplifying the send path for all messages,
we introduce two new send functions at link level, tipc_link_xmit2()

destination, and if one is found, it grabs the node lock and calls

node, it delivers the message directly to the local destination
socket.

The new functions take a buffer chain where all packet headers are

the need to call the function from other places in the code.

In this commit rename it to tipc_buf_append() and move it to the file
msg.c. We also simplify its signature by moving the tail pointer to
the control block of the head buffer, hence making the head buffer
self-contained.

tipc_msg_build() now copies message data from iovec to skb_buff
using memcpy_fromiovecend(), which doesn't need to be passed the
iovec length to perform the copying.

So we remove the parameter indicating iovec length in all
functions where TIPC messages are built and sent.

tipc_msg_build() calls skb_copy_to_linear_data_offset() to copy data
from user space to kernel space. However, the latter function does
in its turn call memcpy() to perform the actual copying. This poses
an obvious security and robustness risk, since memcpy() never makes
any validity check on the pointer it is copying from.

To correct this, we the replace the offending function call with
a call to memcpy_fromiovecend(), which uses copy_from_user() to
perform the copying.

No runtime code changes here.  Just a realign of the function
arguments to start where the 1st one was, and fit as many args
as can be put in an 80 char line.

After the native API has been completely removed, the 'user_port'
field in struct tipc_port becomes unused, and can be removed.
As a consequence, the "usrmem" argument in tipc_msg_build() is no
longer needed, and so we remove that one too.
