      tipc: fix correct setting of message type in second discoverer · 92018c7c
      Jon Maloy 提交于
      The duplicate address discovery protocol is not safe against two
      discoverers running in parallel. The one executing first after the
      trial period is over will set the node address and change its own
      message type to DSC_REQ_MSG. The one executing last may find that the
      node address is already set, and never change message type, with the
      result that its links may never be established.
      
      In this commmit we ensure that the message type always is set correctly
      after the trial period is over.

      tipc: correct discovery message handling during address trial period · e415577f
      Jon Maloy 提交于
      With the duplicate address discovery protocol for tipc nodes addresses
      we introduced a one second trial period before a node is allocated a
      hash number to use as address.
      
      Unfortunately, we miss to handle the case when a regular LINK REQUEST/
      RESPONSE arrives from a cluster node during the trial period. Such
      messages are not ignored as they should be, leading to links setup
      attempts while the node still has no address.

      tipc: handle collisions of 32-bit node address hash values · 25b0b9c4
      Jon Maloy 提交于
      When a 32-bit node address is generated from a 128-bit identifier,
      there is a risk of collisions which must be discovered and handled.
      
      We do this as follows:
      - We don't apply the generated address immediately to the node, but do
        instead initiate a 1 sec trial period to allow other cluster members
        to discover and handle such collisions.
      
      - During the trial period the node periodically sends out a new type
        of message, DSC_TRIAL_MSG, using broadcast or emulated broadcast,
        to all the other nodes in the cluster.
      
      - When a node is receiving such a message, it must check that the
        presented 32-bit identifier either is unused, or was used by the very
        same peer in a previous session. In both cases it accepts the request
        by not responding to it.
      
      - If it finds that the same node has been up before using a different
        address, it responds with a DSC_TRIAL_FAIL_MSG containing that
        address.
      
      - If it finds that the address has already been taken by some other
        node, it generates a new, unused address and returns it to the
        requester.
      
      - During the trial period the requesting node must always be prepared
        to accept a failure message, i.e., a message where a peer suggests a
        different (or equal)  address to the one tried. In those cases it
        must apply the suggested value as trial address and restart the trial
        period.
      
      This algorithm ensures that in the vast majority of cases a node will
      have the same address before and after a reboot. If a legacy user
      configures the address explicitly, there will be no trial period and
      messages, so this protocol addition is completely backwards compatible.

      tipc: add 128-bit node identifier · d50ccc2d
      Jon Maloy 提交于
      We add a 128-bit node identity, as an alternative to the currently used
      32-bit node address.
      
      For the sake of compatibility and to minimize message header changes
      we retain the existing 32-bit address field. When not set explicitly by
      the user, this field will be filled with a hash value generated from the
      much longer node identity, and be used as a shorthand value for the
      latter.
      
      We permit either the address or the identity to be set by configuration,
      but not both, so when the address value is set by a legacy user the
      corresponding 128-bit node identity is generated based on the that value.

      tipc: allow closest-first lookup algorithm when legacy address is configured · b89afb11
      Jon Maloy 提交于
      The removal of an internal structure of the node address has an unwanted
      side effect.
      - Currently, if a user is sending an anycast message with destination
        domain 0, the tipc_namebl_translate() function will use the 'closest-
        first' algorithm to first look for a node local destination, and only
        when no such is found, will it resort to the cluster global 'round-
        robin' lookup algorithm.
      - Current users can get around this, and enforce unconditional use of
        global round-robin by indicating a destination as Z.0.0 or Z.C.0.
      - This option disappears when we make the node address flat, since the
        lookup algorithm has no way of recognizing this case. So, as long as
        there are node local destinations, the algorithm will always select
        one of those, and there is nothing the sender can do to change this.
      
      We solve this by eliminating the 'closest-first' option, which was never
      a good idea anyway, for non-legacy users, but only for those. To
      distinguish between legacy users and non-legacy users we introduce a new
      flag 'legacy_addr_format' in struct tipc_core, to be set when the user
      configures a legacy-style Z.C.N node address. Hence, when a legacy user
      indicates a zero lookup domain 'closest-first' is selected, and in all
      other cases we use 'round-robin'.

      tipc: remove restrictions on node address values · 20263641
      Jon Maloy 提交于
      Nominally, TIPC organizes network nodes into a three-level network
      hierarchy consisting of the levels 'zone', 'cluster' and 'node'. This
      hierarchy is reflected in the node address format, - it is sub-divided
      into an 8-bit zone id, and 12 bit cluster id, and a 12-bit node id.
      
      However, the 'zone' and 'cluster' levels have in reality never been
      fully implemented,and never will be. The result of this has been
      that the first 20 bits the node identity structure have been wasted,
      and the usable node identity range within a cluster has been limited
      to 12 bits. This is starting to become a problem.
      
      In the following commits, we will need to be able to connect between
      nodes which are using the whole 32-bit value space of the node address.
      We therefore remove the restrictions on which values can be assigned
      to node identity, -it is from now on only a 32-bit integer with no
      assumed internal structure.
      
      Isolation between clusters is now achieved only by setting different
      values for the 'network id' field used during neighbor discovery, in
      practice leading to the latter becoming the new cluster identity.
      
      The rules for accepting discovery requests/responses from neighboring
      nodes now become:
      
      - If the user is using legacy address format on both peers, reception
        of discovery messages is subject to the legacy lookup domain check
        in addition to the cluster id check.
      
      - Otherwise, the discovery request/response is always accepted, provided
        both peers have the same network id.
      
      This secures backwards compatibility for users who have been using zone
      or cluster identities as cluster separators, instead of the intended
      'network id'.

      tipc: eliminate buffer leak in bearer layer · 4e801fa1
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      When enabling a bearer we create a 'neigbor discoverer' instance by
      calling the function tipc_disc_create() before the bearer is actually
      registered in the list of enabled bearers. Because of this, the very
      first discovery broadcast message, created by the mentioned function,
      is lost, since it cannot find any valid bearer to use. Furthermore,
      the used send function, tipc_bearer_xmit_skb() does not free the given
      buffer when it cannot find a  bearer, resulting in the leak of exactly
      one send buffer each time a bearer is enabled.
      
      This commit fixes this problem by introducing two changes:
      
      1) Instead of attemting to send the discovery message directly, we let
         tipc_disc_create() return the discovery buffer to the calling
         function, tipc_enable_bearer(), so that the latter can send it
         when the enabling sequence is finished.
      
      2) In tipc_bearer_xmit_skb(), as well as in the two other transmit
         functions at the bearer layer, we now free the indicated buffer or
         buffer chain when a valid bearer cannot be found.

      tipc: involve reference counter for node structure · 8a0f6ebe
      Ying Xue 提交于
      TIPC node hash node table is protected with rcu lock on read side.
      tipc_node_find() is used to look for a node object with node address
      through iterating the hash node table. As the entire process of what
      tipc_node_find() traverses the table is guarded with rcu read lock,
      it's safe for us. However, when callers use the node object returned
      by tipc_node_find(), there is no rcu read lock applied. Therefore,
      this is absolutely unsafe for callers of tipc_node_find().
      
      Now we introduce a reference counter for node structure. Before
      tipc_node_find() returns node object to its caller, it first increases
      the reference counter. Accordingly, after its caller used it up,
      it decreases the counter again. This can prevent a node being used by
      one thread from being freed by another thread.

      tipc: reduce usage of context info in socket and link · c5898636
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      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
      later in this series.

      tipc: eliminate race during node creation · b45db71b
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      Instances of struct node are created in the function tipc_disc_rcv()
      under the assumption that there is no race between received discovery
      messages arriving from the same node. This assumption is wrong.
      When we use more than one bearer, it is possible that discovery
      messages from the same node arrive at the same moment, resulting in
      creation of two instances of struct tipc_node. This may later cause
      confusion during link establishment, and may result in one of the links
      never becoming activated.
      
      We fix this by making lookup and potential creation of nodes atomic.
      Instead of first looking up the node, and in case of failure, create it,
      we now start with looking up the node inside node_link_create(), and
      return a reference to that one if found. Otherwise, we go ahead and
      create the node as we did before.

      tipc: improve and extend media address conversion functions · 38504c28
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      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.

      Ying Xue 提交于
      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.

      tipc: decouple the relationship between bearer and link · 7a2f7d18
      Ying Xue 提交于
      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.

      tipc: introduce new spinlock to protect struct link_req · f9a2c80b
      Ying Xue 提交于
      Currently, only 'bearer_lock' is used to protect struct link_req in
      the function disc_timeout(). This is unsafe, since the member fields
      'num_nodes' and 'timer_intv' might be accessed by below three different
      threads simultaneously, none of them grabbing bearer_lock in the
      critical region:
      
      link_activate()
        tipc_bearer_add_dest()
          tipc_disc_add_dest()
            req->num_nodes++;
      
      tipc_link_reset()
        tipc_bearer_remove_dest()
          tipc_disc_remove_dest()
            req->num_nodes--
            disc_update()
              read req->num_nodes
      	write req->timer_intv
      
      disc_timeout()
        read req->num_nodes
        read/write req->timer_intv
      
      Without lock protection, the only symptom of a race is that discovery
      messages occasionally may not be sent out. This is not fatal, since such
      messages are best-effort anyway. On the other hand, since discovery
      messages are not time critical, adding a protecting lock brings no
      serious overhead either. So we add a new, dedicated spinlock in
      order to guarantee absolute data consistency in link_req objects.
      This also helps reduce the overall role of the bearer_lock, which
      we want to remove completely in a later commit series.

      tipc: remove interface state mirroring in bearer · 512137ee
      Erik Hugne 提交于
      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.
