3bb533800c tipc: change signature of tunnelling reception function
After the earlier commits in this series related to the function
tipc_link_tunnel_rcv(), we can now go further and simplify its
signature.

The function now consumes all DUPLICATE packets, and only returns such
ORIGINAL packets that are ready for immediate delivery, i.e., no
more link level protocol processing needs to be done by the caller.
As a consequence, the the caller, tipc_rcv(), does not access the link
pointer after call return, and it becomes unnecessary to pass a link
pointer reference in the call. Instead, we now only pass it the tunnel
link's owner node, which is sufficient to find the destination link for
the tunnelled packet.

f006c9c70f tipc: change reception of tunnelled failover packets
When a link is reset, and there is a redundant link available, all
sender sockets will steer their subsequent traffic through the
remaining link. In order to guarantee preserved packet order and
cardinality during the transition, we tunnel the failing link's send
queue through the remaining link before we allow any sockets to use it.

In this commit, we change the algorithm for receiving failover
("ORIGINAL_MSG") packets in tipc_link_tunnel_rcv(), at the same time
delegating it to a new subfuncton, tipc_link_failover_rcv(). Instead
of directly returning an extracted inner packet to the packet reception
loop in tipc_rcv(), we first check if it is a message fragment, in which
case we append it to the reset link's fragment chain. If the fragment
chain is complete, we return the whole chain instead of the individual
buffer, eliminating any need for the tipc_rcv() loop to do reassembly of
tunneled packets.

This change makes it possible to further simplify tipc_link_tunnel_rcv(),
as well as the calling tipc_rcv() loop. We will do that in later
commits. It also makes it possible to identify a single spot in the code
where we can tell that a failover procedure is finished, something that
is useful when we are deleting links after a failover. This will also
be done in a later commit.

1dab3d5ac2 tipc: change reception of tunnelled duplicate packets
When a second link to a destination comes up, some sender sockets will
steer their subsequent traffic through the new link. In order to
guarantee preserved packet order and cardinality for those sockets, we
tunnel a duplicate of the old link's send queue through the new link
before we open it for regular traffic. The last arriving packet copy,
on whichever link, will be dropped at the receiving end based on the
original sequence number, to ensure that only one copy is delivered to
the end receiver.

In this commit, we change the algorithm for receiving DUPLICATE_MSG
packets, at the same time delegating it to a new subfunction,
tipc_link_dup_rcv(). Instead of returning an extracted inner packet to
the packet reception loop in tipc_rcv(), we just add it to the receiving
(new) link's deferred packet queue. The packet will then be processed by
that link when it receives its first non-tunneled packet, i.e., at
latest when the changeover procedure is finished.

Because tipc_link_tunnel_rcv()/tipc_link_dup_rcv() now is consuming all
packets of type DUPLICATE_MSG, the calling tipc_rcv() function can omit
testing for this. This in turn means that the current conditional jump
to the label 'protocol_check' becomes redundant, and we can remove that
label.

c61dd61dec tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer struct
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.

135daee6d3 tipc: redefine 'started' flag in struct link to bitmap
Currently, the 'started' field in struct tipc_link represents only a
binary state, 'started' or 'not started'. We need it to represent

Hence, we rename the field to 'flags', and define the current

03b9201793 tipc: stricter behavior of message reassembly function
The function tipc_link_recv_fragment(struct sk_buff **buf) currently
leaves the value of the input buffer pointer undefined when it returns,
except when the return code indicates that the reassembly is complete.
This despite the fact that it always consumes the input buffer.

Here, we enforce a stricter behavior by this function, ensuring that
the returned buffer pointer is non-NULL if and only if the reassembly
is complete. This makes it possible to test for the buffer pointer as
criteria for successful reassembly.

We also rename the function to tipc_link_frag_rcv(), which is both
shorter and more in line with common naming practice in the network
subsystem.

Apart from the new name, these changes have no impact on current
users of the function, but makes it more practical for use in some
planned future commits.

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

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().

b9d4c33935 tipc: remove 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE link protocol messages
The flag 'has_redundant_link' is defined only in RESET and ACTIVATE
protocol messages. Due to an ambiguity in the protocol specification it
is currently also transferred in STATE messages. Its value is used to
initialize a link state variable, 'permit_changeover', which is used
to inhibit futile link failover attempts when it is known that the
peer node has no working links at the moment, although the local node
may still think it has one.

The fact that 'has_redundant_link' incorrectly is read from STATE
messages has the effect that 'permit_changeover' sometimes gets a wrong
value, and permanently blocks any links from being re-established. Such
failures can only occur in in dual-link systems, and are extremely rare.
This bug seems to have always been present in the code.

Furthermore, since commit b4b5610223
("tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them"),
the 'permit_changeover' field serves no purpose any more. The task of
enforcing 'lost contact' cycles at both peer endpoints is now taken
by a new mechanism, using the flags WAIT_NODE_DOWN and WAIT_PEER_DOWN
in struct tipc_node to abort unnecessary failover attempts.

We therefore remove the 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE messages,
as well as the now redundant 'permit_changeover' variable.

This happens when the last fragment of a message has passed through the
the receiving link's 'deferred packets' queue, and at least one other
packet was added to that queue while it was there. After the fragment
chain with the complete message has been successfully delivered to the
receiving socket, it is released. Since 'next' pointer of the last
fragment in the released chain now is non-NULL, we get the crash shown
above.

We fix this by clearing the 'next' pointer of all received packets,
including those being pulled from the 'deferred' queue, before they
undergo any further processing.

77a7e07a78 tipc: remove unused 'blocked' flag from tipc_link struct
In early versions of TIPC it was possible to administratively block
individual links through the use of the member flag 'blocked'. This
functionality was deemed redundant, and since commit 7368dd ("tipc:
clean out all instances of #if 0'd unused code"), this flag has been
unused.

In the current code, a link only needs to be blocked for sending and
reception if it is subject to an ongoing link failover. In that case,
it is sufficient to check if the number of expected failover packets
is non-zero, something which is done via the funtion 'link_blocked()'.

This commit finally removes the redundant 'blocked' flag completely.

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.

a715b49e79 tipc: reassembly failures should cause link reset
If appending a received fragment to the pending fragment chain
in a unicast link fails, the current code tries to force a retransmission
of the fragment by decrementing the 'next received sequence number'
field in the link. This is done under the assumption that the failure
is caused by an out-of-memory situation, an assumption that does
not hold true after the previous patch in this series.

A failure to append a fragment can now only be caused by a protocol
violation by the sending peer, and it must hence be assumed that it
is either malicious or buggy.  Either way, the correct behavior is now
to reset the link instead of trying to revert its sequence number.
So, this is what we do in this commit.

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.

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.

3af390e2c5 tipc: remove two indentation levels in tipc_recv_msg routine
The message dispatching part of tipc_recv_msg() is wrapped layers of
while/if/if/switch, causing out-of-control indentation and does not
look very good. We reduce two indentation levels by separating the
message dispatching from the blocks that checks link state and
sequence numbers, allowing longer function and arg names to be
consistently indented without wrapping. Additionally we also rename
"cont" label to "discard" and add one new label called "unlock_discard"
to make code clearer. In all, these are cosmetic changes that do not
alter the operation of TIPC in any way.

636c0371a7 tipc: correct return value of link_cmd_set_value routine
link_cmd_set_value() takes commands for link, bearer and media related
configuration. Genereally the function returns 0 when a command is
recognized, and -EINVAL when it is not. However, in the switch for link
related commands it returns 0 even when the command is unrecognized. This
will sometimes make it look as if a failed configuration command has been
successful, but has otherwise no negative effects.

We remove this anomaly by returning -EINVAL even for link commands. We also

796c75d0d3 tipc: enhance priority of link protocol packet
pfifo_fast is set as default traffic class queueing discipline. This
queue has three so called "bands". Within each band, FIFO rules apply.
However, as long as there are packets waiting in band 0, band 1 won't
be processed.

Now all kind of TIPC type packet priorities are never set, that is,
their priorities are 0, so they are mapped to band 1 of pfifo_fast
qdisc. But, especially during link congestion, if link protocol packet
can be sent out as earlier as possible than other type of packets so
that protocol packet can arrive at peer endpoint in time, the peer
will timely reset its link timeout timer to keep the link alive.
So enhancing the priority of link protocol packets can meet the
specific demand to avoid unnecessary link reset due to a transient
link congestion.

c008413850 tipc: remove obsolete flush of stale reassembly buffer
Each link instance has a periodic job checking if there is a stale
ongoing message reassembly associated to the link. If no new
fragment has been received during the last 4*[link_tolerance] period,
it is assumed the missing fragment will never arrive. As a consequence,
the reassembly buffer is discarded, and a gap in the message sequence
occurs.

This assumption is wrong. After we abandoned our ambition to develop
packet routing for multi-cluster networks, only single-hop packet
transfer remains as an option. For those, all packets are guaranteed
to be delivered in sequence to the defragmentation layer. Any failure
to achieve sequenced delivery will eventually lead to link reset, and
the reassembly buffer will be flushed anyway.

So we just remove this periodic check, which is now obsolete.

c64f7a6a1f tipc: introduce message to synchronize broadcast link
Upon establishing a first link between two nodes, there is
currently a risk that the two endpoints will disagree on exactly
which sequence number reception and acknowleding of broadcast
packets should start.

The following scenarios may happen:

1: Node A sends an ACTIVATE message to B, telling it to start acking
   packets from sequence number N.
2: Node A sends out broadcast N, but does not expect an acknowledge
   from B, since B is not yet in its broadcast receiver's list.
3: Node A receives ACK for N from all nodes except B, and releases
   packet N.
4: Node B receives the ACTIVATE, activates its link endpoint, and
   stores the value N as sequence number of first expected packet.
5: Node B sends a NAME_DISTR message to A.
6: Node A receives the NAME_DISTR message, and activates its endpoint.
   At this moment B is added to A's broadcast receiver's set.
   Node A also sets sequence number 0 as the first broadcast packet
   to be received from B.
7: Node A sends broadcast N+1.
8: B receives N+1, determines there is a gap in the sequence, since
   it is expecting N, and sends a NACK for N back to A.
9: Node A has already released N, so no retransmission is possible.
   The broadcast link in direction A->B is stale.

In addition to, or instead of, 7-9 above, the following may happen:

10: Node B sends broadcast M > 0 to A.
11: Node A receives M, falsely decides there must be a gap, since
    it is expecting packet 0, and asks for retransmission of packets
    [0,M-1].
12: Node B has already released these packets, so the broadcast
    link is stale in direction B->A.

We solve this problem by introducing a new unicast message type,
BCAST_PROTOCOL/STATE, to convey the sequence number of the next
sent broadcast packet to the other endpoint, at exactly the moment
that endpoint is added to the own node's broadcast receivers list,
and before any other unicast messages are permitted to be sent.

Furthermore, we don't allow any node to start receiving and
processing broadcast packets until this new synchronization
message has been received.

To maintain backwards compatibility, we still open up for
broadcast reception if we receive a NAME_DISTR message without
any preceding broadcast sync message. In this case, we must
assume that the other end has an older code version, and will
never send out the new synchronization message. Hence, for mixed
old and new nodes, the issue arising in 7-12 of the above may
happen with the same probability as before.

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.

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.
