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.

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.

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.

Currently TIPC supports two L2 media types, Ethernet and Infiniband.
Because both these media are accessed through the common net_device API,

fully or almost identical, leading to unnecessary code duplication.

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.

TIPC is currently using the field 'af_packet_priv' in struct net_device
as a handle to find the bearer instance associated to the given network
device. But, by doing so it is blocking other networking cleanups, such
as the one discussed here:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/178044/

This commit removes this usage from TIPC. Instead, we introduce a new
field, 'tipc_ptr', to the net_device structure, to serve this purpose.
When TIPC bearer is enabled, the bearer object is associated to
'tipc_ptr'. When a TIPC packet arrives in the recv_msg() upcall
from a networking device, the bearer object can now be obtained from
'tipc_ptr'. When a bearer is disabled, the bearer object is detached
from its underlying network device by setting 'tipc_ptr' to NULL.

Additionally, an RCU lock is used to protect the new pointer.
Henceforth, the existing tipc_net_lock is used in write mode to
serialize write accesses to this pointer, while the new RCU lock is
applied on the read side to ensure that the pointer is 100% valid
within its wrapped area for all readers.

Communication media types are abstracted through the struct 'tipc_media',

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.

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 'bearer' exists as an abstract concept, while 'media'

This may create confusion, so we choose to replace the term 'bearer'

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.

Enhances TIPC's Ethernet media support to provide 3 new address conversion
routines, which allow TIPC to interpret an address that is in string form
and to convert an address to and from the 20 byte format used in TIPC's
neighbor discovery messages.

These routines are pre-requisites to a follow on commit that hides all
media-specific addressing details from TIPC's generic bearer code.

Enhances conversion of a media address to printable form so that an
unconvertable address will be displayed as a string of hex digits,
rather than not being displayed at all. (Also removes a pointless check
for the existence of the media-specific address conversion routine,
since the routine is not optional.)

Speeds up the registration of TIPC media types by passing in a structure
containing the required information, rather than by passing in the various
fields describing the media type individually.

Reduces the number of bearers a node can support to 2, which can use
identical or non-identical media. This change won't impact users,
since they are currently limited to a maximum of 2 Ethernet bearers,
and will save memory by eliminating a number of unused entries in
TIPC's media and bearer arrays.

Gets rid of counter that records the number of times a bearer has
resumed after congestion or blocking, since the value is never
referenced anywhere.

Eliminates the flag in the TIPC bearer structure that indicates if
the bearer supports broadcasting, since the flag is always set to 1
and serves no useful purpose.

Renames items that are improperly labelled as "network scope" items
(which are represented by simple integer values) rather than "network
domain" items (which are represented by <Z.C.N>-type network addresses).
This change is purely cosmetic, and does not affect the operation of TIPC.

Combines two distinct structures containing information about a TIPC bearer
into a single structure. The structures were previously kept separate so
that public information about a bearer could be made available to plug-in
media types using TIPC's native API, while the remaining information was
kept private for use by TIPC itself. However, now that the native API has
been removed there is no longer any need for this arrangement.

Since one of the structures was already embedded within the other, the
change largely involves replacing instances of "publ.foo" with "foo".
The changes do not otherwise alter the operation of TIPC bearers.

Removes several function declarations that aren't used anywhere,
either because they reference routines that no longer exist or
because all users of the function reference it after it has already
been defined.
