Jon Paul Maloy 581465fa28 tipc: make link start event synchronous
When a link is created we delay the start event by launching it
to be executed later in a tasklet. As we hold all the
necessary locks at the moment of creation, and there is no risk
of deadlock or contention, this delay serves no purpose in the
current code.

We remove this obsolete indirection step, and the associated function
link_start(). At the same time, we rename the function tipc_link_stop()
to the more appropriate tipc_link_purge_queues().

Erik Hugne 512137eeff tipc: remove interface state mirroring in bearer
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.

Erik Hugne 40ba3cdf54 tipc: message reassembly using fragment chain
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.

Erik Hugne 528f6f4bf3 tipc: don't reroute message fragments
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.

Gerlando Falauto 488fc9af82 tipc: pskb_copy() buffers when sending on more than one bearer
When sending packets, TIPC bearers use skb_clone() before writing their
hardware header. This will however NOT copy the data buffer.
So when the same packet is sent over multiple bearers (to reach multiple
nodes), the same socket buffer data will be treated by multiple
tipc_media drivers which will write their own hardware header through
dev_hard_header().
Most of the time this is not a problem, because by the time the
packet is processed by the second media, it has already been sent over
the first one. However, when the first transmission is delayed (e.g.
because of insufficient bandwidth or through a shaper), the next bearer
will overwrite the hardware header, resulting in the packet being sent:
a) with the wrong source address, when bearers of the same type,
e.g. ethernet, are involved
b) with a completely corrupt header, or even dropped, when bearers of
different types are involved.

So when the same socket buffer is to be sent multiple times, send a
pskb_copy() instead (from the second instance on), and release it
afterwards (the bearer will skb_clone() it anyway).

Ying Xue 3c294cb374 tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanism
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.

Erik Hugne dc1aed37d1 tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usage
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.

Allan Stephens 63e7f1ac28 tipc: Prevent loss of fragmented messages over broadcast link
Modifies broadcast link so that an incoming fragmented message is not
lost if reassembly cannot begin because there currently is no buffer
big enough to hold the entire reassembled message. The broadcast link
now ignores the first fragment completely, which causes the sending node
to retransmit the first fragment so that reassembly can be re-attempted.

Previously, the sender would have had no reason to retransmit the 1st
fragment, so we would never have a chance to re-try the allocation.

To do this cleanly without duplicaton, a new bclink_accept_pkt()
function is introduced.

Allan Stephens 7a54d4a99d tipc: Major redesign of broadcast link ACK/NACK algorithms
Completely redesigns broadcast link ACK and NACK mechanisms to prevent
spurious retransmit requests in dual LAN networks, and to prevent the
broadcast link from stalling due to the failure of a receiving node to
acknowledge receiving a broadcast message or request its retransmission.

Note: These changes only impact the timing of when ACK and NACK messages
are sent, and not the basic broadcast link protocol itself, so inter-
operability with nodes using the "classic" algorithms is maintained.

The revised algorithms are as follows:

1) An explicit ACK message is still sent after receiving 16 in-sequence
messages, and implicit ACK information continues to be carried in other
unicast link message headers (including link state messages).  However,
the timing of explicit ACKs is now based on the receiving node's absolute
network address rather than its relative network address to ensure that
the failure of another node does not delay the ACK beyond its 16 message
target.

2) A NACK message is now typically sent only when a message gap persists
for two consecutive incoming link state messages; this ensures that a
suspected gap is not confirmed until both LANs in a dual LAN network have
had an opportunity to deliver the message, thereby preventing spurious NACKs.
A NACK message can also be generated by the arrival of a single link state
message, if the deferred queue is so big that the current message gap
cannot be the result of "normal" mis-ordering due to the use of dual LANs
(or one LAN using a bonded interface). Since link state messages typically
arrive at different nodes at different times the problem of multiple nodes
issuing identical NACKs simultaneously is inherently avoided.

3) Nodes continue to "peek" at NACK messages sent by other nodes. If
another node requests retransmission of a message gap suspected (but not
yet confirmed) by the peeking node, the peeking node forgets about the
gap and does not generate a duplicate retransmit request. (If the peeking
node subsequently fails to receive the lost message, later link state
messages will cause it to rediscover and confirm the gap and send another
NACK.)

4) Message gap "equality" is now determined by the start of the gap only.
This is sufficient to deal with the most common cases of message loss,
and eliminates the need for complex end of gap computations.

5) A peeking node no longer tries to determine whether it should send a
complementary NACK, since the most common cases of message loss don't
require it to be sent. Consequently, the node no longer examines the
"broadcast tag" field of a NACK message when peeking.

Allan Stephens 2b78f9a002 tipc: Handle broadcast attempt when no neighboring nodes exist
Adds a check to detect when an attempt is made to send a message
via the broadcast link and no neighboring nodes are currently available
to receive it. Rather than wasting effort passing the message to the
broadcast link and broadcast bearer, who will only throw it away,
TIPC now frees the message immediately and reports success (i.e. the
message has been delivered to all available destinations).

Allan Stephens cd3decdfd1 tipc: Ensure broadcast link spinlock is held when updating node map
Fixes oversight that allowed broadcast link node map to be updated without
first taking the broadcast link spinlock that protects the map. As part
of this fix the node map has been incorporated into the broadcast link
structure to make the need for such protection more evident.

Allan Stephens c47e9b9188 tipc: Eliminate dynamic allocation of broadcast link data structures
Creates global variables to hold the broadcast link's pseudo-bearer and
pseudo-link structures, rather than allocating them dynamically. There
is only a single instance of each structure, and changing over to static
allocation allows elimination of code to handle the cases where dynamic
allocation was unsuccessful.

The memset in the teardown code may look like they aren't used, but
the same teardown code is run when there is a non-fatal error at
init-time, so that stale data isn't present when the user fixes the
cause of the soft error.

Allan Stephens 9f6bdcd428 tipc: Discard incoming broadcast messages that are unexpected
Modifies TIPC's incoming broadcast packet handler to discard messages
that cannot legally be sent over the broadcast link, including:

- broadcast protocol messages that do no contain state information
- payload messages that are not named multicast messages
- any other form of message except for bundled messages, fragmented
  messages, and name distribution messages.

These checks are needed to prevent TIPC from handing an unexpected
message to a routine that isn't prepared to handle it, which could
lead to incorrect processing (up to and including invalid memory
references caused by attempts to access message fields that aren't
present in the message).

Allan Stephens 5d3c488dfe tipc: Fix node lock problems during broadcast message reception
Modifies TIPC's incoming broadcast packet handler to ensure that the
node lock associated with the sender of the packet is held whenever
node-related data structure fields are accessed. The routine is also
restructured with a single exit point, making it easier to ensure
the node lock is properly released and the incoming packet is properly
disposed of.

Modifies a TIPC send routine that did not discard the outgoing sk_buff
if it was not transmitted because of link congestion; this eliminates
the potential for buffer leakage in the many callers who did not clean up
the unsent buffer. (The two routines that previously did discard the unsent
buffer have been updated to eliminate their now-redundant clean up.)

Allan Stephens 2d627b92fd tipc: Combine bearer structure with tipc_bearer structure
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.
