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.

Commit a21a584d (tipc: fix neighbor detection problem after hw address change) introduces a race condition involving tipc_disc_delete() and tipc_disc_add/remove_dest that can cause TIPC to dereference the pointer to the bearer discovery request structure after it has been freed since a stray pointer is left in the bearer structure. 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.

The node map variable - 'nodes' in bearer structure is only used by bclink. When bclink accesses it, bc_lock is held. But when change it, for instance, in tipc_bearer_add_dest() or tipc_bearer_remove_dest() the bc_lock is not taken at all. To avoid any inconsistent data, we should always grab bc_lock while accessing node map variable.

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.

Currently on both paths of message transmission and reception, the read lock of tipc_net_lock must be held before bearer is accessed, while the write lock of tipc_net_lock has to be taken before bearer is configured. Although it can ensure that bearer is always valid on the two data paths, link and bearer is closely bound together. So as the part of effort of removing tipc_net_lock, the locking policy of bearer protection will be adjusted as below: on the two data paths, RCU is used, and on the configuration path of bearer, RTNL lock is applied. Now RCU just covers the path of message reception. To make it possible to protect the path of message transmission with RCU, link should not use its stored bearer pointer to access bearer, but it should use the bearer identity of its attached bearer as index to get bearer instance from bearer_list array, which can help us decouple the relationship between bearer and link. As a result, bearer on the path of message transmission can be safely protected by RCU when we access bearer_list array within RCU lock protection.

Currently the 'tipc_ptr' pointer is protected by tipc_net_lock write lock on write side, and RCU read lock is applied to read side. In addition, there have two paths on write side where we may change variables pointed by the 'tipc_ptr' pointer: one is to configure bearer by tipc-config tool and another one is that bearer status is changed by notification events of its attached interface. But on the latter path, we improperly deem that accessing 'tipc_ptr' pointer happens on read side with rcu_read_lock() although some variables pointed by the 'tipc_ptr' pointer are changed possibly. Moreover, as now the both paths are guarded by RTNL lock, it's better to adjust the locking policy of 'tipc_ptr' pointer protection, allowing RTNL instead of tipc_net_lock write lock to protect it on write side, which will help us purge tipc_net_lock in the future.

But broadcast bearer is statically allocated and it is not located in the bearer_list array yet.

Accidentally a side effect is involved by commit 6e967adf(tipc: relocate common functions from media to bearer). Now tipc stack handler of receiving packets from netdevices as well as netdevice notification handler are registered when bearer is enabled rather than tipc module initialization stage, but the two handlers are both unregistered in tipc module exit phase. If tipc module is inserted and then immediately removed, the following warning message will appear: "dev_remove_pack: ffffffffa0380940 not found" This is because in module insertion stage tipc stack packet handler is not registered at all, but in module exit phase dev_remove_pack() needs to remove it. Of course, dev_remove_pack() cannot find tipc protocol handler from the kernel protocol handler list so that the warning message is printed out. But if registering the two handlers is adjusted from enabling bearer phase into inserting module stage, the warning message will be eliminated. Due to this change, tipc_core_start_net() and tipc_core_stop_net() can be deleted as well.

After the earlier commits ("tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer struct") and ("tipc: introduce new spinlock to protect struct link_req"), there is no longer any need to protect struct link_req or or any link list by use of bearer_lock. Furthermore, we have eliminated the need for using bearer_lock during downcalls (send) from the link to the bearer, since we have ensured that bearers always have a longer life cycle that their associated links, and always contain valid data. So, the only need now for a lock protecting bearers is for guaranteeing consistency of the bearer list itself. For this, it is sufficient, at least for the time being, to continue applying 'net_lock´ in write mode. By removing bearer_lock we also pre-empt introduction of issue b) descibed in the previous commit "tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer struct": "b) When the outer protection from net_lock is gone, taking bearer_lock and node_lock in opposite order of method 1) and 2) will become an obvious deadlock hazard". Therefore, we now eliminate the bearer_lock spinlock.

When a bearer is disabled, all its attached links are deleted. Ideally, we should do link failover to redundant links on other bearers, if there are any, in such cases. This would be consistent with current behavior when a link is reset, but not deleted. However, due to the complexity involved, and the (wrongly) perceived low demand for this feature, it was never implemented until now. We mark the doomed link for deletion with a new flag, but wait until the failover process is finished before we actually delete it. With the improved link tunnelling/failover code introduced earlier in this commit series, it is now easy to identify a spot in the code where the failover is finished and it is safe to delete the marked link. Moreover, the test for the flag and the deletion can be done synchronously, and outside the most time critical data path.

In our ongoing effort to simplify the TIPC locking structure, we see a need to remove the linked list for tipc_links in the bearer. This can be explained as follows. Currently, we have three different ways to access a link, via three different lists/tables: 1: Via a node hash table: Used by the time-critical outgoing/incoming data paths. (e.g. link_send_sections_fast() and tipc_recv_msg() ): grab net_lock(read) find node from node hash table grab node_lock select link grab bearer_lock send_msg() release bearer_lock release node lock release net_lock 2: Via a global linked list for nodes: Used by configuration commands (link_cmd_set_value()) grab net_lock(read) find node and link from global node list (using link name) grab node_lock update link release node lock release net_lock (Same locking order as above. No problem.) 3: Via the bearer's linked link list: Used by notifications from interface (e.g. tipc_disable_bearer() ) grab net_lock(write) grab bearer_lock get link ptr from bearer's link list get node from link grab node_lock delete link release node lock release bearer_lock release net_lock (Different order from above, but works because we grab the outer net_lock in write mode first, excluding all other access.) The first major goal in our simplification effort is to get rid of the "big" net_lock, replacing it with rcu-locks when accessing the node list and node hash array. This will come in a later patch series. But to get there we first need to rewrite access methods ##2 and 3, since removal of net_lock would introduce three major problems: a) In access method #2, we access the link before taking the protecting node_lock. This will not work once net_lock is gone, so we will have to change the access order. We will deal with this in a later commit in this series, "tipc: add node lock protection to link found by link_find_link()". b) When the outer protection from net_lock is gone, taking bearer_lock and node_lock in opposite order of method 1) and 2) will become an obvious deadlock hazard. This is fixed in the commit ("tipc: remove bearer_lock from tipc_bearer struct") later in this series. c) Similar to what is described in problem a), access method #3 starts with using a link pointer that is unprotected by node_lock, in order to via that pointer find the correct node struct and lock it. Before we remove net_lock, this access order must be altered. This is what we do with this commit. We can avoid introducing problem problem c) by even here using the global node list to find the node, before accessing its links. When we loop though the node list we use the own bearer identity as search criteria, thus easily finding the links that are associated to the resetting/disabling bearer. It should be noted that although this method is somewhat slower than the current list traversal, it is in no way time critical. This is only about resetting or deleting links, something that must be considered relatively infrequent events. As a bonus, we can get rid of the mutual pointers between links and bearers. After this commit, pointer dependency go in one direction only: from the link to the bearer. This commit pre-empts introduction of problem c) as described above.

Because both these media are accessed through the common net_device API, several functions in the two media adaptation files turn out to be fully or almost identical, leading to unnecessary code duplication. In this commit we extract this common code from the two media files and move them to the generic bearer.c.

Currently, registering a TIPC stack handler in the network device layer is done twice, once for Ethernet (eth_media) and Infiniband (ib_media) repectively. But, as this registration is not media specific, we can avoid some code duplication by moving the registering function to the generic bearer layer, to the file bearer.c, and call it only once. The same is true for the network device event notifier. As a side effect, the two workqueues we are using for for setting up/ cleaning up media can now be eliminated. Furthermore, the array for storing the specific media type structs, media_array[], can be entirely deleted. Note that the eth_started and ib_started flags were removed during the code relocation. There is now only one call to bearer_setup and bearer_cleanup, and these can logically not race against each other. Despite its size, this cleanup work incurs no functional changes in TIPC. In particular, it should be noted that the sequence ordering of received packets is unaffected by this change, since packet reception never was subject to any work queue handling in the first place.

Communication media types are abstracted through the struct 'tipc_media', one per media type. These structs are allocated statically inside their respective media file. Furthermore, in order to be able to reach all instances from a central location, we keep a static array with pointers to these structs. This array is currently initialized at runtime, under protection of tipc_net_lock. However, since the contents of the array itself never changes after initialization, we can just as well initialize it at compile time and make it 'const', at the same time making it obvious that no lock protection is needed here. This commit makes the array constant and removes the redundant lock protection.

struct 'tipc_bearer' is a generic representation of the underlying media type, and exists in a one-to-one relationship to each interface TIPC is using. The struct contains a 'blocked' flag that mirrors the operational and execution state of the represented interface, and is updated through notification calls from the latter. The users of tipc_bearer are checking this flag before each attempt to send a packet via the interface. This state mirroring serves no purpose in the current code base. TIPC links will not discover a media failure any faster through this mechanism, and in reality the flag only adds overhead at packet sending and reception. Furthermore, the fact that the flag needs to be protected by a spinlock aggregated into tipc_bearer has turned out to cause a serious and completely unnecessary deadlock problem. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- Time 0: bearer_disable() link_timeout() Time 1: spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock) tipc_link_push_queue() Time 2: tipc_link_delete() tipc_bearer_blocked(b_ptr) Time 3: k_cancel_timer(&req->timer) spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock) Time 4: del_timer_sync(&req->timer) I.e., del_timer_sync() on CPU0 never returns, because the timer handler on CPU1 is waiting for the bearer lock. We eliminate the 'blocked' flag from struct tipc_bearer, along with all tests on this flag. This not only resolves the deadlock, but also simplifies and speeds up the data path execution of TIPC. It also fits well into our ongoing effort to make the locking policy simpler and more manageable. An effect of this change is that we can get rid of functions such as tipc_bearer_blocked(), tipc_continue() and tipc_block_bearer(). We replace the latter with a new function, tipc_reset_bearer(), which resets all links associated to the bearer immediately after an interface goes down. A user might notice one slight change in link behaviour after this change. When an interface goes down, (e.g. through a NETDEV_DOWN event) all attached links will be reset immediately, instead of leaving it to each link to detect the failure through a timer-driven mechanism. We consider this an improvement, and see no obvious risks with the new behavior.

tipc_block_bearer() currently takes a bearer name (const char*) as argument. This requires the function to make a lookup to find the pointer to the corresponding bearer struct. In the current code base this is not necessary, since the only two callers (tipc_continue(),recv_notification()) already have validated copies of this pointer, and hence can pass it directly in the function call. We change tipc_block_bearer() to directly take struct tipc_bearer* as argument instead.

TIPC 'bearer' exists as an abstract concept, while 'media' is deemed a specific implementation of a bearer, such as Ethernet or Infiniband media. When a component inside TIPC wants to control a specific media, it only needs to access the generic bearer API to achieve this. However, in the current media implementations, the 'bearer' name is also extensively used in media specific function and variable names. This may create confusion, so we choose to replace the term 'bearer' with 'media' in all function names, variable names, and prefixes where this is what really is meant. Note that this change is cosmetic only, and no runtime behaviour changes are made here.

Add InfiniBand media type based on the ethernet media type. The only real difference is that in case of InfiniBand, we need the entire 20 bytes of space reserved for media addresses, so the TIPC media type ID is not explicitly stored in the packet payload.

Currently at the TIPC bearer layer there is the following congestion mechanism: Once sending packets has failed via that bearer, the bearer will be flagged as being in congested state at once. During bearer congestion, all packets arriving at link will be queued on the link's outgoing buffer. When we detect that the state of bearer congestion has relaxed (e.g. some packets are received from the bearer) we will try our best to push all packets in the link's outgoing buffer until the buffer is empty, or until the bearer is congested again. However, in fact the TIPC bearer never receives any feedback from the device layer whether a send was successful or not, so it must always assume it was successful. Therefore, the bearer congestion mechanism as it exists currently is of no value. But the bearer blocking state is still useful for us. For example, when the physical media goes down/up, we need to change the state of the links bound to the bearer. So the code maintaing the state information is not removed.

The tipc_printf is renamed to tipc_snprintf, as the new name describes more what the function actually does. It is also changed to take a buffer and length parameter and return number of characters written to the buffer. All callers of this function that used to pass a print_buf are updated. Final removal of the struct print_buf itself will be done synchronously with the pending removal of the deprecated logging code that also was using it. Functions that build up a response message with a list of ports, nametable contents etc. are changed to return the number of characters written to the output buffer. This information was previously hidden in a field of the print_buf struct, and the number of chars written was fetched with a call to tipc_printbuf_validate. This function is removed since it is no longer referenced nor needed. A generic max size ULTRA_STRING_MAX_LEN is defined, named in keeping with the existing TIPC_TLV_ULTRA_STRING, and the various definitions in port, link and nametable code that largely duplicated this information are removed. This means that amount of link statistics that can be returned is now increased from 2k to 32k. The buffer overflow check is now done just before the reply message is passed over netlink or TIPC to a remote node and the message indicating a truncated buffer is changed to a less dramatic one (less CAPS), placed at the end of the message.

All messages should go directly to the kernel log. The TIPC specific error, warning, info and debug trace macro's are removed and all references replaced with pr_err, pr_warn, pr_info and pr_debug. Commonly used sub-strings are explicitly declared as a const char to reduce .text size. Note that this means the debug messages (changed to pr_debug), are now enabled through dynamic debugging, instead of a TIPC specific Kconfig option (TIPC_DEBUG).
