tipc: convert topology server to use new server facility As the new TIPC server infrastructure has been introduced, we can now convert the TIPC topology server to it. We get two benefits from doing this: 1) It simplifies the topology server locking policy. In the original locking policy, we placed one spin lock pointer in the tipc_subscriber structure to reuse the lock of the subscriber's server port, controlling access to members of tipc_subscriber instance. That is, we only used one lock to ensure both tipc_port and tipc_subscriber members were safely accessed. Now we introduce another spin lock for tipc_subscriber structure only protecting themselves, to get a finer granularity locking policy. Moreover, the change will allow us to make the topology server code more readable and maintainable. 2) It fixes a bug where sent subscription events may be lost when the topology port is congested. Using the new service, the topology server now queues sent events into an outgoing buffer, and then wakes up a sender process which has been blocked in workqueue context. The process will keep picking events from the buffer and send them to their respective subscribers, using the kernel socket interface, until the buffer is empty. Even if the socket is congested during transmission there is no risk that events may be dropped, since the sender process may block when needed. Some minor reordering of initialization is done, since we now have a scenario where the topology server must be started after socket initialization has taken place, as the former depends on the latter. And overall, we see a simplification of the TIPC subscriber code in making this changeover.

tipc: eliminate struct tipc_subscriber It is unnecessary to keep two structures, struct tipc_conn and struct tipc_subscriber, with a one-to-one relationship and still with different life cycles. The fact that the two often run in different contexts, and still may access each other via direct pointers constitutes an additional hazard, something we have experienced at several occasions, and still see happening. We have identified at least two remaining problems that are easier to fix if we simplify the topology server data structure somewhat. - When there is a race between a subscription up/down event and a timeout event, it is fully possible that the former might be delivered after the latter, leading to confusion for the receiver. - The function tipc_subcrp_timeout() is executing in interrupt context, while the following call chain is at least theoretically possible: tipc_subscrp_timeout() tipc_subscrp_send_event() tipc_conn_sendmsg() conn_put() tipc_conn_kref_release() sock_release(sock) I.e., we end up calling a function that might try to sleep in interrupt context. To eliminate this, we need to ensure that the tipc_conn structure and the socket, as well as the subscription instances, only are deleted in work queue context, i.e., after the timeout event really has been sent out. We now remove this unnecessary complexity, by merging data and functionality of the subscriber structure into struct tipc_conn and the associated file server.c. We thereafter add a spinlock and a new 'inactive' state to the subscription structure. Using those, both problems described above can be easily solved.
