      tipc: add link get/dump to new netlink api · 7be57fc6
      Richard Alpe 提交于
      Add TIPC_NL_LINK_GET command to the new tipc netlink API.
      
      This command supports dumping all information about all links
      (including the broadcast link) or getting all information about a
      specific link (not the broadcast link).
      
      The information about a link includes name, transmission info,
      properties and link statistics.
      
      As the tipc broadcast link is special we unfortunately have to treat
      it specially. It is a deliberate decision not to abstract the
      broadcast link on this (API) level.

      tipc: fix bug in multicast congestion handling · 908344cd
      Jon Maloy 提交于
      One aim of commit 50100a5e ("tipc:
      use pseudo message to wake up sockets after link congestion") was
      to handle link congestion abatement in a uniform way for both unicast
      and multicast transmit. However, the latter doesn't work correctly,
      and has been broken since the referenced commit was applied.
      
      If a user now sends a burst of multicast messages that is big
      enough to cause broadcast link congestion, it will be put to sleep,
      and not be waked up when the congestion abates as it should be.
      
      This has two reasons. First, the flag that is used, TIPC_WAKEUP_USERS,
      is set correctly, but in the wrong field. Instead of setting it in the
      'action_flags' field of the arrival node struct, it is by mistake set
      in the dummy node struct that is owned by the broadcast link, where it
      will never tested for. Second, we cannot use the same flag for waking
      up unicast and multicast users, since the function tipc_node_unlock()
      needs to pick the wakeup pseudo messages to deliver from different
      queues. It must hence be able to distinguish between the two cases.
      
      This commit solves this problem by adding a new flag
      TIPC_WAKEUP_BCAST_USERS, and a new function tipc_bclink_wakeup_user().
      The latter is to be called by tipc_node_unlock() when the named flag,
      now set in the correct field, is encountered.
      
      v2: using explicit 'unsigned int' declaration instead of 'uint', as
      per comment from David Miller.

      tipc: clear 'next'-pointer of message fragments before reassembly · 99941754
      Jon Paul Maloy 提交于
      If the 'next' pointer of the last fragment buffer in a message is not
      zeroed before reassembly, we risk ending up with a corrupt message,
      since the reassembly function itself isn't doing this.
      
      Currently, when a buffer is retrieved from the deferred queue of the
      broadcast link, the next pointer is not cleared, with the result as
      described above.
      
      This commit corrects this, and thereby fixes a bug that may occur when
      long broadcast messages are transmitted across dual interfaces. The bug
      has been present since 40ba3cdf ("tipc:
      message reassembly using fragment chain")
      
      This commit should be applied to both net and net-next.

      The node map variable - 'nodes' in bearer structure is only used by

      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

      tipc: purge tipc_net_lock lock · 7216cd94
      Ying Xue 提交于
      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.

      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: remove bearer_lock from tipc_bearer struct · a8304529
      Ying Xue 提交于
      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.

      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 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: 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: fix missing spinlock init in broadcast code · c5c73dca
      Erik Hugne 提交于
      After commit 3c294cb3 "tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanism",
      we try to grab the broadcast bearer lock when sending multicast
      messages over the broadcast link. This will cause an oops because
      the lock is never initialized. This is an old bug, but the lock
      was never actually used before commit 3c294cb3, so that why it was
      not visible until now.  The oops will look something like:

      tipc: rename supported flag to recv_permitted · 389dd9bc
      Ying Xue 提交于
      Rename the "supported" flag in bclink structure to "recv_permitted"
      to better reflect what it is used for. When this flag is set for a
      given node, we are permitted to receive and acknowledge broadcast
      messages from that node.  Convert it to a bool at the same time,
      since it is not used to store any numerical values.

      tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanism · 3c294cb3
      Ying Xue 提交于
      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.

      tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usage · dc1aed37
      Erik Hugne 提交于
      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.
