tipc: move and rename the legacy nl api to "nl compat"

2015-02-09T21:20:47Z

The new netlink API is no longer "v2" but rather the standard API and the legacy API is now "nl compat". We split them into separate start/stop and put them in different files in order to further distinguish them.

tipc: eliminate race condition at multicast reception

2015-02-06T00:00:03Z

In a previous commit in this series we resolved a race problem during unicast message reception. Here, we resolve the same problem at multicast reception. We apply the same technique: an input queue serializing the delivery of arriving buffers. The main difference is that here we do it in two steps. First, the broadcast link feeds arriving buffers into the tail of an arrival queue, which head is consumed at the socket level, and where destination lookup is performed. Second, if the lookup is successful, the resulting buffer clones are fed into a second queue, the input queue. This queue is consumed at reception in the socket just like in the unicast case. Both queues are protected by the same lock, -the one of the input queue. Reviewed-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: simplify connection abort notifications when links break

2015-02-06T00:00:02Z

The new input message queue in struct tipc_link can be used for delivering connection abort messages to subscribing sockets. This makes it possible to simplify the code for such cases. This commit removes the temporary list in tipc_node_unlock() used for transforming abort subscriptions to messages. Instead, the abort messages are now created at the moment of lost contact, and then added to the last failed link's generic input queue for delivery to the sockets concerned.

tipc: resolve race problem at unicast message reception

2015-02-06T00:00:02Z

TIPC handles message cardinality and sequencing at the link layer, before passing messages upwards to the destination sockets. During the upcall from link to socket no locks are held. It is therefore possible, and we see it happen occasionally, that messages arriving in different threads and delivered in sequence still bypass each other before they reach the destination socket. This must not happen, since it violates the sequentiality guarantee. We solve this by adding a new input buffer queue to the link structure. Arriving messages are added safely to the tail of that queue by the link, while the head of the queue is consumed, also safely, by the receiving socket. Sequentiality is secured per socket by only allowing buffers to be dequeued inside the socket lock. Since there may be multiple simultaneous readers of the queue, we use a 'filter' parameter to reduce the risk that they peek the same buffer from the queue, hence also reducing the risk of contention on the receiving socket locks. This solves the sequentiality problem, and seems to cause no measurable performance degradation. A nice side effect of this change is that lock handling in the functions tipc_rcv() and tipc_bcast_rcv() now becomes uniform, something that will enable future simplifications of those functions.

tipc: reduce usage of context info in socket and link

2015-02-06T00:00:01Z

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

2015-02-05T00:09:31Z

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. Reviewed-by: Erik Hugne Reviewed-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tipc: avoid stale link after aborted failover

2015-02-05T00:09:31Z

During link failover it may happen that the remaining link goes down while it is still in the process of taking over traffic from a previously failed link. When this happens, we currently abort the failover procedure and reset the first failed link to non-failover mode, so that it will be ready to re-establish contact with its peer when it comes available. However, if the first link goes down because its bearer was manually disabled, it is not enough to reset it; it must also be deleted; which is supposed to happen when the failover procedure is finished. Otherwise it will remain a zombie link: attached to the owner node structure, in mode LINK_STOPPED, and permanently blocking any re- establishing of the link to the peer via the interface in question. We fix this by amending the failover abort procedure. Apart from resetting the link to non-failover state, we test if the link is also in LINK_STOPPED mode. If so, we delete it, using the conditional tipc_link_delete() function introduced in the previous commit.
