      tipc: changes to general packet reception algorithm · a5377831
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      We change the order of checking for destination users when processing
      incoming packets. By placing the checks for users that may potentially
      replace the processed buffer, i.e., CHANGEOVER_PROTOCOL and
      MSG_FRAGMENTER, in a separate step before we check for the true end
      users, we get rid of a label and a 'goto', at the same time making the
      code more comprehensible and easy to follow.
      
      This commit does not change any functionality, it is just a cosmetic
      code reshuffle.

      tipc: rename stack variables in function tipc_link_tunnel_rcv · 02842f71
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      After the previous redesign of the tunnel reception algorithm and
      functions, we finalize it by renaming a couple of stack variables
      in tipc_tunnel_rcv(). This makes it more consistent with the naming
      scheme elsewhere in this part of the code.
      
      This change is purely cosmetic, with no functional changes.

      tipc: change signature of tunnelling reception function · 3bb53380
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      After the earlier commits in this series related to the function
      tipc_link_tunnel_rcv(), we can now go further and simplify its
      signature.
      
      The function now consumes all DUPLICATE packets, and only returns such
      ORIGINAL packets that are ready for immediate delivery, i.e., no
      more link level protocol processing needs to be done by the caller.
      As a consequence, the the caller, tipc_rcv(), does not access the link
      pointer after call return, and it becomes unnecessary to pass a link
      pointer reference in the call. Instead, we now only pass it the tunnel
      link's owner node, which is sufficient to find the destination link for
      the tunnelled packet.

      tipc: change reception of tunnelled failover packets · f006c9c7
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      When a link is reset, and there is a redundant link available, all
      sender sockets will steer their subsequent traffic through the
      remaining link. In order to guarantee preserved packet order and
      cardinality during the transition, we tunnel the failing link's send
      queue through the remaining link before we allow any sockets to use it.
      
      In this commit, we change the algorithm for receiving failover
      ("ORIGINAL_MSG") packets in tipc_link_tunnel_rcv(), at the same time
      delegating it to a new subfuncton, tipc_link_failover_rcv(). Instead
      of directly returning an extracted inner packet to the packet reception
      loop in tipc_rcv(), we first check if it is a message fragment, in which
      case we append it to the reset link's fragment chain. If the fragment
      chain is complete, we return the whole chain instead of the individual
      buffer, eliminating any need for the tipc_rcv() loop to do reassembly of
      tunneled packets.
      
      This change makes it possible to further simplify tipc_link_tunnel_rcv(),
      as well as the calling tipc_rcv() loop. We will do that in later
      commits. It also makes it possible to identify a single spot in the code
      where we can tell that a failover procedure is finished, something that
      is useful when we are deleting links after a failover. This will also
      be done in a later commit.

      tipc: change reception of tunnelled duplicate packets · 1dab3d5a
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      When a second link to a destination comes up, some sender sockets will
      steer their subsequent traffic through the new link. In order to
      guarantee preserved packet order and cardinality for those sockets, we
      tunnel a duplicate of the old link's send queue through the new link
      before we open it for regular traffic. The last arriving packet copy,
      on whichever link, will be dropped at the receiving end based on the
      original sequence number, to ensure that only one copy is delivered to
      the end receiver.
      
      In this commit, we change the algorithm for receiving DUPLICATE_MSG
      packets, at the same time delegating it to a new subfunction,
      tipc_link_dup_rcv(). Instead of returning an extracted inner packet to
      the packet reception loop in tipc_rcv(), we just add it to the receiving
      (new) link's deferred packet queue. The packet will then be processed by
      that link when it receives its first non-tunneled packet, i.e., at
      latest when the changeover procedure is finished.
      
      Because tipc_link_tunnel_rcv()/tipc_link_dup_rcv() now is consuming all
      packets of type DUPLICATE_MSG, the calling tipc_rcv() function can omit
      testing for this. This in turn means that the current conditional jump
      to the label 'protocol_check' becomes redundant, and we can remove that
      label.

      tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer struct · c61dd61d
      Ying Xue 提交于
      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.

      tipc: redefine 'started' flag in struct link to bitmap · 135daee6

      Currently, the 'started' field in struct tipc_link represents only a

      Hence, we rename the field to 'flags', and define the current

      tipc: stricter behavior of message reassembly function · 03b92017
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      The function tipc_link_recv_fragment(struct sk_buff **buf) currently
      leaves the value of the input buffer pointer undefined when it returns,
      except when the return code indicates that the reassembly is complete.
      This despite the fact that it always consumes the input buffer.
      
      Here, we enforce a stricter behavior by this function, ensuring that
      the returned buffer pointer is non-NULL if and only if the reassembly
      is complete. This makes it possible to test for the buffer pointer as
      criteria for successful reassembly.
      
      We also rename the function to tipc_link_frag_rcv(), which is both
      shorter and more in line with common naming practice in the network
      subsystem.
      
      Apart from the new name, these changes have no impact on current
      users of the function, but makes it more practical for use in some
      planned future commits.

      tipc: remove 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE link protocol messages · b9d4c339
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      The flag 'has_redundant_link' is defined only in RESET and ACTIVATE
      protocol messages. Due to an ambiguity in the protocol specification it
      is currently also transferred in STATE messages. Its value is used to
      initialize a link state variable, 'permit_changeover', which is used
      to inhibit futile link failover attempts when it is known that the
      peer node has no working links at the moment, although the local node
      may still think it has one.
      
      The fact that 'has_redundant_link' incorrectly is read from STATE
      messages has the effect that 'permit_changeover' sometimes gets a wrong
      value, and permanently blocks any links from being re-established. Such
      failures can only occur in in dual-link systems, and are extremely rare.
      This bug seems to have always been present in the code.
      
      Furthermore, since commit b4b56102
      ("tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them"),
      the 'permit_changeover' field serves no purpose any more. The task of
      enforcing 'lost contact' cycles at both peer endpoints is now taken
      by a new mechanism, using the flags WAIT_NODE_DOWN and WAIT_PEER_DOWN
      in struct tipc_node to abort unnecessary failover attempts.
      
      We therefore remove the 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE messages,
      as well as the now redundant 'permit_changeover' variable.

      This happens when the last fragment of a message has passed through the
      the receiving link's 'deferred packets' queue, and at least one other
      packet was added to that queue while it was there. After the fragment
      chain with the complete message has been successfully delivered to the
      receiving socket, it is released. Since 'next' pointer of the last
      fragment in the released chain now is non-NULL, we get the crash shown
      above.
      
      We fix this by clearing the 'next' pointer of all received packets,
      including those being pulled from the 'deferred' queue, before they
      undergo any further processing.

      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.

      tipc: reassembly failures should cause link reset · a715b49e
      Erik Hugne 提交于
      If appending a received fragment to the pending fragment chain
      in a unicast link fails, the current code tries to force a retransmission
      of the fragment by decrementing the 'next received sequence number'
      field in the link. This is done under the assumption that the failure
      is caused by an out-of-memory situation, an assumption that does
      not hold true after the previous patch in this series.
      
      A failure to append a fragment can now only be caused by a protocol
      violation by the sending peer, and it must hence be assumed that it
      is either malicious or buggy.  Either way, the correct behavior is now
      to reset the link instead of trying to revert its sequence number.
      So, this is what we do in this commit.

      tipc: message reassembly using fragment chain · 40ba3cdf
      Erik Hugne 提交于
      When the first fragment of a long data data message is received on a link, a
      reassembly buffer large enough to hold the data from this and all subsequent
      fragments of the message is allocated. The payload of each new fragment is
      copied into this buffer upon arrival. When the last fragment is received, the
      reassembled message is delivered upwards to the port/socket layer.
      
      Not only is this an inefficient approach, but it may also cause bursts of
      reassembly failures in low memory situations. since we may fail to allocate
      the necessary large buffer in the first place. Furthermore, after 100 subsequent
      such failures the link will be reset, something that in reality aggravates the
      situation.
      
      To remedy this problem, this patch introduces a different approach. Instead of
      allocating a big reassembly buffer, we now append the arriving fragments
      to a reassembly chain on the link, and deliver the whole chain up to the
      socket layer once the last fragment has been received. This is safe because
      the retransmission layer of a TIPC link always delivers packets in strict
      uninterrupted order, to the reassembly layer as to all other upper layers.
      Hence there can never be more than one fragment chain pending reassembly at
      any given time in a link, and we can trust (but still verify) that the
      fragments will be chained up in the correct order.

      tipc: don't reroute message fragments · 528f6f4b
      Erik Hugne 提交于
      When a message fragment is received in a broadcast or unicast link,
      the reception code will append the fragment payload to a big reassembly
      buffer through a call to the function tipc_recv_fragm(). However, after
      the return of that call, the logics goes on and passes the fragment
      buffer to the function tipc_net_route_msg(), which will simply drop it.
      This behavior is a remnant from the now obsolete multi-cluster
      functionality, and has no relevance in the current code base.
      
      Although currently harmless, this unnecessary call would be fatal
      after applying the next patch in this series, which introduces
      a completely new reassembly algorithm. So we change the code to
      eliminate the redundant call.

      tipc: remove two indentation levels in tipc_recv_msg routine · 3af390e2
      Ying Xue 提交于
      The message dispatching part of tipc_recv_msg() is wrapped layers of
      while/if/if/switch, causing out-of-control indentation and does not
      look very good. We reduce two indentation levels by separating the
      message dispatching from the blocks that checks link state and
      sequence numbers, allowing longer function and arg names to be
      consistently indented without wrapping. Additionally we also rename
      "cont" label to "discard" and add one new label called "unlock_discard"
      to make code clearer. In all, these are cosmetic changes that do not
      alter the operation of TIPC in any way.

      tipc: remove obsolete flush of stale reassembly buffer · c0084138
      Erik Hugne 提交于
      Each link instance has a periodic job checking if there is a stale
      ongoing message reassembly associated to the link. If no new
      fragment has been received during the last 4*[link_tolerance] period,
      it is assumed the missing fragment will never arrive. As a consequence,
      the reassembly buffer is discarded, and a gap in the message sequence
      occurs.
      
      This assumption is wrong. After we abandoned our ambition to develop
      packet routing for multi-cluster networks, only single-hop packet
      transfer remains as an option. For those, all packets are guaranteed
      to be delivered in sequence to the defragmentation layer. Any failure
      to achieve sequenced delivery will eventually lead to link reset, and
      the reassembly buffer will be flushed anyway.
      
      So we just remove this periodic check, which is now obsolete.

      tipc: introduce message to synchronize broadcast link · c64f7a6a
      Jon Maloy 提交于
      Upon establishing a first link between two nodes, there is
      currently a risk that the two endpoints will disagree on exactly
      which sequence number reception and acknowleding of broadcast
      packets should start.
      
      The following scenarios may happen:
      
      1: Node A sends an ACTIVATE message to B, telling it to start acking
         packets from sequence number N.
      2: Node A sends out broadcast N, but does not expect an acknowledge
         from B, since B is not yet in its broadcast receiver's list.
      3: Node A receives ACK for N from all nodes except B, and releases
         packet N.
      4: Node B receives the ACTIVATE, activates its link endpoint, and
         stores the value N as sequence number of first expected packet.
      5: Node B sends a NAME_DISTR message to A.
      6: Node A receives the NAME_DISTR message, and activates its endpoint.
         At this moment B is added to A's broadcast receiver's set.
         Node A also sets sequence number 0 as the first broadcast packet
         to be received from B.
      7: Node A sends broadcast N+1.
      8: B receives N+1, determines there is a gap in the sequence, since
         it is expecting N, and sends a NACK for N back to A.
      9: Node A has already released N, so no retransmission is possible.
         The broadcast link in direction A->B is stale.
      
      In addition to, or instead of, 7-9 above, the following may happen:
      
      10: Node B sends broadcast M > 0 to A.
      11: Node A receives M, falsely decides there must be a gap, since
          it is expecting packet 0, and asks for retransmission of packets
          [0,M-1].
      12: Node B has already released these packets, so the broadcast
          link is stale in direction B->A.
      
      We solve this problem by introducing a new unicast message type,
      BCAST_PROTOCOL/STATE, to convey the sequence number of the next
      sent broadcast packet to the other endpoint, at exactly the moment
      that endpoint is added to the own node's broadcast receivers list,
      and before any other unicast messages are permitted to be sent.
      
      Furthermore, we don't allow any node to start receiving and
      processing broadcast packets until this new synchronization
      message has been received.
      
      To maintain backwards compatibility, we still open up for
      broadcast reception if we receive a NAME_DISTR message without
      any preceding broadcast sync message. In this case, we must
      assume that the other end has an older code version, and will
      never send out the new synchronization message. Hence, for mixed
      old and new nodes, the issue arising in 7-12 of the above may
      happen with the same probability as before.
