5356f3d7d4 tipc: always use tipc_node_lock() to hold node lock
Although we obtain node lock with tipc_node_lock() in most time, there
are still places where we directly use native spin lock interface
to grab node lock. But as we will do more jobs in the future when node
lock is released, we should ensure that tipc_node_lock() is always
called when node lock is taken.

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.

7a2f7d18e7 tipc: decouple the relationship between bearer and link
Currently on both paths of message transmission and reception, the
read lock of tipc_net_lock must be held before bearer is accessed,
while the write lock of tipc_net_lock has to be taken before bearer
is configured. Although it can ensure that bearer is always valid on
the two data paths, link and bearer is closely bound together.

So as the part of effort of removing tipc_net_lock, the locking
policy of bearer protection will be adjusted as below: on the two
data paths, RCU is used, and on the configuration path of bearer,
RTNL lock is applied.

Now RCU just covers the path of message reception. To make it possible
to protect the path of message transmission with RCU, link should not
use its stored bearer pointer to access bearer, but it should use the
bearer identity of its attached bearer as index to get bearer instance
from bearer_list array, which can help us decouple the relationship
between bearer and link. As a result, bearer on the path of message
transmission can be safely protected by RCU when we access bearer_list
array within RCU lock protection.

24be34b5a0 tipc: eliminate upcall function pointers between port and socket
Due to the original one-to-many relation between port and user API
layers, upcalls to the API have been performed via function pointers,
installed in struct tipc_port at creation. Since this relation now
always is one-to-one, we can instead use ordinary function calls.

We remove the function pointers 'dispatcher' and ´wakeup' from
struct tipc_port, and replace them with calls to the renamed
functions tipc_sk_rcv() and tipc_sk_wakeup().

At the same time we change the name and signature of the functions
tipc_createport() and tipc_deleteport() to reflect their new role
as mere initialization/destruction functions.

63fa01c147 tipc: failed transmissions should return error
When a message could not be sent out because the destination node
or link could not be found, the full message size is returned from
sendmsg() as if it had been sent successfully. An application will
then get a false indication that it's making forward progress. This
problem has existed since the initial commit in 2.6.16.

We change this to return -ENETUNREACH if the message cannot be
delivered due to the destination node/link being unavailable. We
also get rid of the redundant tipc_reject_msg call since freeing
the buffer and doing a tipc_port_iovec_reject accomplishes exactly
the same thing.

a11607f5a1 tipc: correct usage of spin_lock() vs spin_lock_bh()
I commit e099e86c9e
("tipc: add node_lock protection to link lookup function")
we are calling spin_lock(&node->lock) directly instead of indirectly
via the tipc_node_lock(node) function. However, tipc_node_lock() is
using spin_lock_bh(), not spin_lock(), something leading to
unbalanced usage in one place, and a smatch warning.

We fix this by consistently using tipc_node_lock()/unlock() in
in the places touched by the mentioned commit.

e099e86c9e tipc: add node_lock protection to link lookup function
In an earlier commit, ("tipc: remove links list from bearer struct")
we described three issues that need to be pre-emptively resolved before
we can remove tipc_net_lock. Here we resolve issue a) described in that
commit:

"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."

Here, we change that access order, by ensuring that the function
link_find_link() returns only a safe reference for finding
the link, i.e., a node pointer and an index into its 'links' array,
not the link pointer itself. We also change all callers of this
function to first take the node lock before they can check if there
still is a valid link pointer at the returned index. Since the
function now returns a node pointer rather than a link pointer,
we rename it to the more appropriate 'tipc_link_find_owner().

7d33939f47 tipc: delay delete of link when failover is needed
When a bearer is disabled, all its attached links are deleted.
Ideally, we should do link failover to redundant links on other bearers,
if there are any, in such cases. This would be consistent with current
behavior when a link is reset, but not deleted. However, due to the
complexity involved, and the (wrongly) perceived low demand for this
feature, it was never implemented until now.

We mark the doomed link for deletion with a new flag, but wait until the
failover process is finished before we actually delete it. With the
improved link tunnelling/failover code introduced earlier in this commit
series, it is now easy to identify a spot in the code where the failover
is finished and it is safe to delete the marked link. Moreover, the test
for the flag and the deletion can be done synchronously, and outside the
most time critical data path.

code more comprehensible and easy to follow.

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.

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.

64380a04de tipc: fix message corruption bug for deferred packets
If a packet received on a link is out-of-sequence, it will be
placed on a deferred queue and later reinserted in the receive
path once the preceding packets have been processed. The problem
with this is that it will be subject to the buffer adjustment from
link_recv_buf_validate twice. The second adjustment for 20 bytes
header space will corrupt the packet.

We solve this by tagging the deferred packets and bail out from
receive buffer validation for packets that have already been
subjected to this.

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().

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.

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

ae8509c420 tipc: cosmetic realignment of function arguments
No runtime code changes here.  Just a realign of the function
arguments to start where the 1st one was, and fit as many args
as can be put in an 80 char line.

f1733d7580 tipc: remove user_port instance from tipc_port structure
After the native API has been completely removed, the 'user_port'
field in struct tipc_port becomes unused, and can be removed.
As a consequence, the "usrmem" argument in tipc_msg_build() is no
longer needed, and so we remove that one too.
