Ying Xue eb8b00f5f2 tipc: convert allocations of global variables associated with bclink
Convert allocations of global variables associated with bclink from
static way to dynamical way for the convenience of bclink instance
initialisation. Meanwhile, this also helps TIPC support name space
in the future easily.

Ying Xue 7216cd949c tipc: purge tipc_net_lock lock
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.

Ying Xue 379c0456af tipc: change tipc_net_start routine return value type
Since now tipc_net_start() always returns a success code - 0, its
return value type should be changed from integer to void, which can
avoid unnecessary check for its return value.

Allan Stephens 34e46258cb tipc: manually inline net_start/stop, make assoc. vars static
Relocates network-related variables into the subsystem files where
they are now primarily used (following the recent rework of TIPC's
node table), and converts globals into locals where possible. Changes
the initialization of tipc_num_links from run-time to compile-time,
and eliminates the net_start routine that becomes empty as a result.
Also eliminates the corresponding net_stop routine by moving its
(trivial) content into the one location that called the routine.

Allan Stephens 672d99e19a tipc: Convert node object array to a hash table
Replaces the dynamically allocated array of pointers to the cluster's
node objects with a static hash table. Hash collisions are resolved
using chaining, with a typical hash chain having only a single node,
to avoid degrading performance during processing of incoming packets.
The conversion to a hash table reduces the memory requirements for
TIPC's node table to approximately the same size it had prior to
the previous commit.

In addition to the hash table itself, TIPC now also maintains a
linked list for the node objects, sorted by ascending network address.
This list allows TIPC to continue sending responses to user space
applications that request node and link information in sorted order.
The list also improves performance when name table update messages are
sent by making it easier to identify the nodes that must be notified.

Allan Stephens d1bcb11544 tipc: Split up unified structure of network-related variables
Converts the fields of the global "tipc_net" structure into individual
variables.  Since the struct was never referenced as a complete unit,
its existence was pointless.  This will facilitate upcoming changes to
TIPC's node table and simpify upcoming relocation of the variables so
they are only visible to the files that actually use them.

This change is essentially cosmetic in nature, and doesn't affect the
operation of TIPC.

Allan Stephens 9df3b7eb6e tipc: Fix problem with missing link in "tipc-config -l" output
Removes a race condition that could cause TIPC's internal counter
of the number of links it has to neighboring nodes to have the
incorrect value if two independent threads of control simultaneously
create new link endpoints connecting to two different nodes using two
different bearers. Such under counting would result in TIPC failing to
list the final link(s) in its response to a configuration request to
list all of the node's links. The counter is now updated atomically
to ensure that simultaneous increments do not interfere with each
other.

Thanks go to Peter Butler <pbutler@pt.com> for his assistance in
diagnosing and fixing this problem.

David S. Miller 6c00055a81 tipc: Don't use structure names which easily globally conflict.
Andrew Morton reported a build failure on sparc32, because TIPC
uses names like "struct node" and there is a like named data
structure defined in linux/node.h

This just regexp replaces "struct node*" to "struct tipc_node*"
to avoid this and any future similar problems.

Allan Stephens 03194379a7 tipc: Fix initialization sequence problems when entering network mode
This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration
service are shut down before switching into "network mode".  This
ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary
"publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully
initialized for sending off-node messages.  Note that the node's
current network address is now updated only after the two services
are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the
topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.
