Currently, a number of structure and function definitions related
to the broadcast functionality are unnecessarily exposed in the file
bcast.h. This obscures the fact that the external interface towards
the broadcast link in fact is very narrow, and causes unnecessary
recompilations of other files when anything changes in those
definitions.
In this commit, we move as many of those definitions as is currently
possible to the file bcast.c.
We also rename the structure 'tipc_bclink' to 'tipc_bc_base', both
since the name does not correctly describe the contents of this
struct, and will do so even less in the future, and because we want
to use the term 'link' more appropriately in the functionality
introduced later in this series.
Finally, we rename a couple of functions, such as tipc_bclink_xmit()
and others that will be kept in the future, to include the term 'bcast'
instead.
There are no functional changes in this commit.

In commit d999297c3d ("tipc: reduce locking scope during packet reception")
we altered the packet retransmission function. Since then, when
restransmitting packets, we create a clone of the original buffer
using __pskb_copy(skb, MIN_H_SIZE), where MIN_H_SIZE is the size of
the area we want to have copied, but also the smallest possible TIPC
packet size. The value of MIN_H_SIZE is 24.
Unfortunately, __pskb_copy() also has the effect that the headroom
of the cloned buffer takes the size MIN_H_SIZE. This is too small
for carrying the packet over the UDP tunnel bearer, which requires
a minimum headroom of 28 bytes. A change to just use pskb_copy()
lets the clone inherit the original headroom of 80 bytes, but also
assumes that the copied data area is of at least that size, something
that is not always the case. So that is not a viable solution.
We now fix this by adding a check for sufficient headroom in the
transmit function of udp_media.c, and expanding it when necessary.

The current code for message reassembly is erroneously assuming that
the the first arriving fragment buffer always is linear, and then goes
ahead resetting the fragment list of that buffer in anticipation of
more arriving fragments.
However, if the buffer already happens to be non-linear, we will
inadvertently drop the already attached fragment list, and later
on trig a BUG() in __pskb_pull_tail().
We see this happen when running fragmented TIPC multicast across UDP,
something made possible since
commit d0f91938be ("tipc: add ip/udp media type")
We fix this by not resetting the fragment list when the buffer is non-
linear, and by initiatlizing our private fragment list tail pointer to
the tail of the existing fragment list.

The default fix broadcast window size is currently set to 20 packets.
This is a very low value, set at a time when we were still testing on
10 Mb/s hubs, and a change to it is long overdue.
Commit 7845989cb4 ("net: tipc: fix stall during bclink wakeup procedure")
revealed a problem with this low value. For messages of importance LOW,
the backlog queue limit will be calculated to 30 packets, while a
single, maximum sized message of 66000 bytes, carried across a 1500 MTU
network consists of 46 packets.
This leads to the following scenario (among others leading to the same
situation):
1: Msg 1 of 46 packets is sent. 20 packets go to the transmit queue, 26
packets to the backlog queue.
2: Msg 2 of 46 packets is attempted sent, but rejected because there is
no more space in the backlog queue at this level. The sender is added
to the wakeup queue with a "pending packets chain size" number of 46.
3: Some packets in the transmit queue are acked and released. We try to
wake up the sender, but the pending size of 46 is bigger than the LOW
wakeup limit of 30, so this doesn't happen.
5: Subsequent acks releases all the remaining buffers. Each time we test
for the wakeup criteria and find that 46 still is larger than 30,
even after both the transmit and the backlog queues are empty.
6: The sender is never woken up and given a chance to send its message.
He is stuck.
We could now loosen the wakeup criteria (used by link_prepare_wakeup())
to become equal to the send criteria (used by tipc_link_xmit()), i.e.,
by ignoring the "pending packets chain size" value altogether, or we can
just increase the queue limits so that the criteria can be satisfied
anyway. There are good reasons (potentially multiple waiting senders) to
not opt for the former solution, so we choose the latter one.
This commit fixes the problem by giving the broadcast link window a
default value of 50 packets. We also introduce a new minimum link
window size BCLINK_MIN_WIN of 32, which is enough to always avoid the
described situation. Finally, in order to not break any existing users
which may set the window explicitly, we enforce that the window is set
to the new minimum value in case the user is trying to set it to
anything lower.

The change made in the previous commit revealed a small flaw in the way
the node FSM is updated. When the function tipc_node_link_down() is
called for the last link to a node, we should check whether this was
caused by a local reset or by a received RESET message from the peer.
In the latter case, we can directly issue a PEER_LOST_CONTACT_EVT to
the node FSM, so that it is ready to re-establish contact. If this is
not done, the peer node will sometimes have to go through a second
establish cycle before the link becomes stable.
We fix this in this commit by conditionally issuing the mentioned
event in the function tipc_node_link_down(). We also move LINK_RESET
FSM even away from the link_reset() function and into the caller
function, partially because it is easier to follow the code when state
changes are gathered at a limited number of locations, partially
because there will be cases in future commits where we don't want the
link to go RESET mode when link_reset() is called.

When a link is taken down because of a node local event, such as
disabling of a bearer or an interface, we currently leave it to the
peer node to discover the broken communication. The default time for
such failure discovery is 1.5-2 seconds.
If we instead allow the terminating link endpoint to send out a RESET
message at the moment it is reset, we can achieve the impression that
both endpoints are going down instantly. Since this is a very common
scenario, we find it worthwhile to make this small modification.
Apart from letting the link produce the said message, we also have to
ensure that the interface is able to transmit it before TIPC is
detached. We do this by performing the disabling of a bearer in three
steps:
1) Disable reception of TIPC packets from the interface in question.
2) Take down the links, while allowing them so send out a RESET message.
3) Disable transmission of TIPC packets on the interface.
Apart from this, we now have to react on the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN event,
instead of as currently the NEDEV_DOWN event, to ensure that such
transmission is possible during the teardown phase.

Link establishing, just like link teardown, is a non-atomic action, in
the sense that discovering that conditions are right to establish a link,
and the actual adding of the link to one of the node's send slots is done
in two different lock contexts. The link FSM is designed to help bridging
the gap between the two contexts in a safe manner.
We have now discovered a weakness in the implementaton of this FSM.
Because we directly let the link go from state LINK_ESTABLISHING to
state LINK_ESTABLISHED already in the first lock context, we are unable
to distinguish between a fully established link, i.e., a link that has
been added to its slot, and a link that has not yet reached the second
lock context. It may hence happen that a manual intervention, e.g., when
disabling an interface, causes the function tipc_node_link_down() to try
removing the link from the node slots, decrementing its active link
counter etc, although the link was never added there in the first place.
We solve this by delaying the actual state change until we reach the
second lock context, inside the function tipc_node_link_up(). This
makes it possible for potentail callers of __tipc_node_link_down() to
know if they should proceed or not, and the problem is solved.
Unforunately, the situation described above also has a second problem.
Since there by necessity is a tipc_node_link_up() call pending once
the node lock has been released, we must defuse that call by setting
the link back from LINK_ESTABLISHING to LINK_RESET state. This forces
us to make a slight modification to the link FSM, which will now look
as follows.

After the previous commits, we are guaranteed that no packets
of type LINK_PROTOCOL or with illegal sequence numbers will be
attempted added to the link deferred queue. This makes it possible to
make some simplifications to the sorting algorithm in the function
tipc_skb_queue_sorted().
We also alter the function so that it will drop packets if one with
the same seqeunce number is already present in the queue. This is
necessary because we have identified weird packet sequences, involving
duplicate packets, where a legitimate in-sequence packet may advance to
the head of the queue without being detected and de-queued.
Finally, we make this function outline, since it will now be called only
in exceptional cases.

The sequence number of an incoming packet is currently only checked
for less than, equality to, or bigger than the next expected number,
meaning that the receive window in practice becomes one half sequence
number cycle, or U16_MAX/2. This does not make sense, and may not even
be safe if there are extreme delays in the network. Any packet sent by
the peer during the ongoing cycle must belong inside his current send
window, or should otherwise be dropped if possible.
Since a link endpoint cannot know its peer's current send window, it
has to base this sanity check on a worst-case assumption, i.e., that
the peer is using a maximum sized window of 8191 packets. Using this
assumption, we now add a check that the sequence number is not bigger
than next_expected + TIPC_MAX_LINK_WIN. We also re-order the checks
done, so that the receive window test is performed before the gap test.
This way, we are guaranteed that no packet with illegal sequence numbers
are ever added to the deferred queue.

added to the packet deferred queue, whereafter that queue is walked and
all its buffers evaluated for delivery. This is both non-optimal and
and makes the queue sorting function unnecessary complex.
This commit changes the loop so that an arrived packet is evaluated
first, and added to the deferred queue only when a sequence number gap
is discovered. A non-empty deferred queue is walked until it is empty

During packet reception, the function tipc_link_rcv() adds its accepted
packets to a temporary buffer queue, before finally splicing this queue
into the lock protected input queue that will be delivered up to the
socket layer. The purpose is to reduce potential contention on the input
queue lock. However, since the vast majority of packets arrive in
sequence, they will anyway be added one by one to the input queue, and
the use of the temporary queue becomes a sub-optimization.
The only case where this queue makes sense is when unpacking buffers
from a bundle packet; here we want to avoid dozens of small buffers
to be added individually to the lock-protected input queue in a tight
loop.
In this commit, we remove the general usage of the temporary queue,
and keep it only for the packet unbundling case.

In commit e3eea1eb47 ("tipc: clean up handling of message priorities")
we introduced a field in the packet header for keeping track of the
priority of fragments, since this value is not present in the specified
protocol header. Since the value so far only is used at the transmitting
end of the link, we have not yet officially defined it as part of the
protocol.
Unfortunately, the field we use for keeping this value, bits 13-15 in
in word 5, has turned out to be a poor choice; it is already used by the
broadcast protocol for carrying the 'network id' field of the sending
node. Since packet fragments also need to be transported across the
broadcast protocol, the risk of conflict is obvious, and we see this
happen when we use network identities larger than 2^13-1. This has
escaped our testing because we have so far only been using small network
id values.
We now move this field to bits 0-2 in word 9, a field that is guaranteed
to be unused by all involved protocols.

In commit 6e498158a8 ("tipc: move link synch and failover to link aggregation level")
we introduced a new mechanism for performing link failover and
synchronization. We have now detected a bug in this mechanism.
During link synchronization we use the arrival of any packet on
the tunnel link to trig a check for whether it has reached the
synchronization point or not. This has turned out to be too
permissive, since it may cause an arriving non-last SYNCH packet to
end the synch state, just to see the next SYNCH packet initiate a
new synch state with a new, higher synch point. This is not fatal,
but should be avoided, because it may significantly extend the
synchronization period, while at the same time we are not allowed
to send NACKs if packets are lost. In the worst case, a low-traffic
user may see its traffic stall until a LINK_PROTOCOL state message
trigs the link to leave synchronization state.
At the same time, LINK_PROTOCOL packets which happen to have a (non-
valid) sequence number lower than the tunnel link's rcv_nxt value will
be consistently dropped, and will never be able to resolve the situation
described above.
We fix this by exempting LINK_PROTOCOL packets from the sequence number
check, as they should be. We also reduce (but don't completely
eliminate) the risk of entering multiple synchronization states by only
allowing the (logically) first SYNCH packet to initiate a synchronization
state. This works independently of actual packet arrival order.

The issue occurs only when tipc_sk_rcv() is used to wake up postponed
senders:
tipc_bclink_wakeup_users()
// wakeupq - is a queue which consists of special
// messages with SOCK_WAKEUP type.
tipc_sk_rcv(wakeupq)
...
while (skb_queue_len(inputq)) {
filter_rcv(skb)
// Here the type of message is checked
// and if it is SOCK_WAKEUP then
// it tries to wake up a sender.
tipc_write_space(sk)
wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll()
}
After the sender thread is woke up it can gather control and perform
an attempt to send a message. But if there is no enough place in send
queue it will call link_schedule_user() function which puts a message
of type SOCK_WAKEUP to the wakeup queue and put the sender to sleep.
Thus the size of the queue actually is not changed and the while()
loop never exits.
The approach I proposed is to wake up only senders for which there is
enough place in send queue so the described issue can't occur.
Moreover the same approach is already used to wake up senders on
unicast links.
I have got into the issue on our product code but to reproduce the
issue I changed a benchmark test application (from
tipcutils/demos/benchmark) to perform the following scenario:
1. Run 64 instances of test application (nodes). It can be done
on the one physical machine.
2. Each application connects to all other using TIPC sockets in
RDM mode.
3. When setup is done all nodes start simultaneously send
broadcast messages.
4. Everything hangs up.
The issue is reproducible only when a congestion on broadcast link
occurs. For example, when there are only 8 nodes it works fine since
congestion doesn't occur. Send queue limit is 40 in my case (I use a
critical importance level) and when 64 nodes send a message at the
same moment a congestion occurs every time.

Recent changes to the link synchronization means that we can now just
drop packets arriving on the synchronizing link before the synch point
is reached. This has lead to significant simplifications to the
implementation, but also turns out to have a flip side that we need
to consider.
Under unlucky circumstances, the two endpoints may end up
repeatedly dropping each other's packets, while immediately
asking for retransmission of the same packets, just to drop
them once more. This pattern will eventually be broken when
the synch point is reached on the other link, but before that,
the endpoints may have arrived at the retransmission limit
(stale counter) that indicates that the link should be broken.
We see this happen at rare occasions.
The fix for this is to not ask for retransmissions when a link is in
state LINK_SYNCHING. The fact that the link has reached this state
means that it has already received the first SYNCH packet, and that it
knows the synch point. Hence, it doesn't need any more packets until the
other link has reached the synch point, whereafter it can go ahead and
ask for the missing packets.
However, because of the reduced traffic on the synching link that
follows this change, it may now take longer to discover that the
synch point has been reached. We compensate for this by letting all
packets, on any of the links, trig a check for synchronization
termination. This is possible because the packets themselves don't
contain any information that is needed for discovering this condition.

When a link goes down, and there is still a working link towards its
destination node, a failover is initiated, and the failed link is not
allowed to re-establish until that procedure is finished. To ensure
this, the concerned link endpoints are set to state LINK_FAILINGOVER,
and the node endpoints to NODE_FAILINGOVER during the failover period.
However, if the link reset is due to a disabled bearer, the corres-
ponding link endpoint is deleted, and only the node endpoint knows
about the ongoing failover. Now, if the disabled bearer is re-enabled
during the failover period, the discovery mechanism may create a new
link endpoint that is ready to be established, despite that this is not
permitted. This situation may cause both the ongoing failover and any
subsequent link synchronization to fail.
In this commit, we ensure that a newly created link goes directly to
state LINK_FAILINGOVER if the corresponding node state is
NODE_FAILINGOVER. This eliminates the problem described above.
Furthermore, we tighten the criteria for which packets are allowed
to end a failover state in the function tipc_node_check_state().
By checking that the receiving link is up and running, instead of just
checking that it is not in failover mode, we eliminate the risk that
protocol packets from the re-created link may cause the failover to
be prematurely terminated.

Currently, when we extract small messages from a message bundle, or
when many messages have accumulated in the link arrival queue, those
messages are added one by one to the lock protected link input queue.
This may increase contention with the reader of that queue, in
the function tipc_sk_rcv().
This commit introduces a temporary, unprotected input queue in
tipc_link_rcv() for such cases. Only when the arrival queue has been
emptied, and the function is ready to return, does it splice the whole

In order to facilitate future improvements to the locking structure, we
want to make resetting and establishing of links non-atomic. I.e., the
functions tipc_node_link_up() and tipc_node_link_down() should be called
from outside the node lock context, and grab/release the node lock
themselves. This requires that we can freeze the link state from the
moment it is set to RESETTING or PEER_RESET in one lock context until
it is set to RESET or ESTABLISHING in a later context. The recently

Until now, we have been handling link failover and synchronization
by using an additional link state variable, "exec_mode". This variable
is not independent of the link FSM state, something causing a risk of
inconsistencies, apart from the fact that it clutters the code.
The conditions are now in place to define a new link FSM that covers
all existing use cases, including failover and synchronization, and
eliminate the "exec_mode" field altogether. The FSM must also support
non-atomic resetting of links, which will be introduced later.
The new link FSM is shown below, with 7 states and 8 events.

The implementation of the link FSM currently takes decisions about and
sends out link protocol messages. This is unnecessary, since such
actions are not the result of any link state change, and are even
decided based on non-FSM state information ("silent_intv_cnt").
We now move the sending of unicast link protocol messages to the
function tipc_link_timeout(), and the initial broadcast synchronization
message to tipc_node_link_up(). The latter is done because a link
instance should not need to know whether it is the first or second
link to a destination. Such information is now restricted to and
handled by the link aggregation layer in node.c

The function tipc_link_activate() is redundant, since it mostly performs
settings that have already been done in a preceding tipc_link_reset().
There are three exceptions to this:
- The actual state change to TIPC_LINK_WORKING. This should anyway be done
in the FSM, and not in a separate function.
- Registration of the link with the bearer. This should be done by the
node, since we don't want the link to have any knowledge about its
specific bearer.
- Call to tipc_node_link_up() for user access registration. With the new
role distribution between link aggregation and link level this becomes
the wrong call order; tipc_node_link_up() should instead be called
directly as a result of a TIPC_LINK_UP event, hence by the node itself.
This commit implements those changes.

When a message is received in a socket, one of the call chains
tipc_sk_rcv()->tipc_sk_enqueue()->filter_rcv()(->tipc_sk_proto_rcv())
or
tipc_sk_backlog_rcv()->filter_rcv()(->tipc_sk_proto_rcv())

where the message may need to be rejected, or a new message
produced for transfer back to the sender. Despite recent

as awkward and hard to follow.
Leveraging the two previous commits in this series, we now
introduce a more uniform handling of such situations. We
let each of the functions in the chain itself produce/reverse
the message to be returned to the sender, but also perform the
actual forwarding. This simplifies the necessary logics within

The shortest TIPC message header, for cluster local CONNECTED messages,
is 24 bytes long. With this format, the fields "dest_node" and
"orig_node" are optimized away, since they in reality are redundant
in this particular case.
However, the absence of these fields leads to code inconsistencies
that are difficult to handle in some cases, especially when we need
to reverse or reject messages at the socket layer.
In this commit, we concentrate the handling of the absent fields
to one place, by letting the function tipc_msg_reverse() reallocate
the buffer and expand the header to 32 bytes when necessary. This
means that the socket code now can assume that the two previously
absent fields are present in the header when a message needs to be
rejected. This opens up for some further simplifications of the
socket code.

We convert packet/message reception according to the same principle
we have been using for message sending and timeout handling:
We move the function tipc_rcv() to node.c, hence handling the initial
packet reception at the link aggregation level. The function grabs
the node lock, selects the receiving link, and accesses it via a new
call tipc_link_rcv(). This function appends buffers to the input
queue for delivery upwards, but it may also append outgoing packets
to the xmit queue, just as we do during regular message sending. The
latter will happen when buffers are forwarded from the link backlog,
or when retransmission is requested.
Upon return of this function, and after having released the node lock,
tipc_rcv() delivers/tranmsits the contents of those queues, but it may
also perform actions such as link activation or reset, as indicated by
the return flags from the link.
This reduces the number of cpu cycles spent inside the node spinlock,
and reduces contention on that lock.

The logics for determining when a node is permitted to establish
and maintain contact with its peer node becomes non-trivial in the
presence of multiple parallel links that may come and go independently.
A known failure scenario is that one endpoint registers both its links
to the peer lost, cleans up it binding table, and prepares for a table
update once contact is re-establihed, while the other endpoint may
see its links reset and re-established one by one, hence seeing
no need to re-synchronize the binding table. To avoid this, a node
must not allow re-establishing contact until it has confirmation that
even the peer has lost both links.
Currently, the mechanism for handling this consists of setting and
resetting two state flags from different locations in the code. This
solution is hard to understand and maintain. A closer analysis even
reveals that it is not completely safe.
In this commit we do instead introduce an FSM that keeps track of
the conditions for when the node can establish and maintain links.
It has six states and four events, and is strictly based on explicit
knowledge about the own node's and the peer node's contact states.
Only events leading to state change are shown as edges in the figure
below.

Unfortunately, we cannot yet make the FSM "clean", in the sense
that its decisions are only based on FSM state and event, and that
state changes happen only here. That will have to wait until the
activate/reset logics has been cleaned up in a future commit.
We also rename the link states as follows:
WORKING_WORKING -> TIPC_LINK_WORKING
WORKING_UNKNOWN -> TIPC_LINK_PROBING
RESET_UNKNOWN -> TIPC_LINK_RESETTING
RESET_RESET -> TIPC_LINK_ESTABLISHING
