* tipc: introduce new TIPC server infrastructureYing Xue2013-06-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TIPC has two internal servers, one providing a subscription service for topology events, and another providing the configuration interface. These servers have previously been running in BH context, accessing the TIPC-port (aka native) API directly. Apart from these servers, even the TIPC socket implementation is partially built on this API. As this API may simultaneously be called via different paths and in different contexts, a complex and costly lock policiy is required in order to protect TIPC internal resources. To eliminate the need for this complex lock policiy, we introduce a new, generic service API that uses kernel sockets for message passing instead of the native API. Once the toplogy and configuration servers are converted to use this new service, all code pertaining to the native API can be removed. This entails a significant reduction in code amount and complexity, and opens up for a complete rework of the locking policy in TIPC. The new service also solves another problem: As the current topology server works in BH context, it cannot easily be blocked when sending of events fails due to congestion. In such cases events may have to be silently dropped, something that is unacceptable. Therefore, the new service keeps a dedicated outbound queue receiving messages from BH context. Once messages are inserted into this queue, we will immediately schedule a work from a special workqueue. This way, messages/events from the topology server are in reality sent in process context, and the server can block if necessary. Analogously, there is a new workqueue for receiving messages. Once a notification about an arriving message is received in BH context, we schedule a work from the receive workqueue to do the job of receiving the message in process context. As both sending and receive messages are now finished in processes, subscribed events cannot be dropped any more. As of this commit, this new server infrastructure is built, but not actually yet called by the existing TIPC code, but since the conversion changes required in order to use it are significant, the addition is kept here as a separate commit.

* tipc: change socket buffer overflow control to respect sk_rcvbufYing Xue2013-06-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As per feedback from the netdev community, we change the buffer overflow protection algorithm in receiving sockets so that it always respects the nominal upper limit set in sk_rcvbuf. Instead of scaling up from a small sk_rcvbuf value, which leads to violation of the configured sk_rcvbuf limit, we now calculate the weighted per-message limit by scaling down from a much bigger value, still in the same field, according to the importance priority of the received message. To allow for administrative tunability of the socket receive buffer size, we create a tipc_rmem sysctl variable to allow the user to configure an even bigger value via sysctl command. It is a size of three (min/default/max) to be consistent with things like tcp_rmem. By default, the value initialized in tipc_rmem[1] is equal to the receive socket size needed by a TIPC_CRITICAL_IMPORTANCE message. This value is also set as the default value of sk_rcvbuf.

* tipc: add InfiniBand media typePatrick McHardy2013-04-171-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add InfiniBand media type based on the ethernet media type. The only real difference is that in case of InfiniBand, we need the entire 20 bytes of space reserved for media addresses, so the TIPC media type ID is not explicitly stored in the packet payload. Sample output of tipc-config: # tipc-config -v -addr -netid -nt=all -p -m -b -n -ls node address: <10.1.4> current network id: 4711 Type Lower Upper Port Identity Publication Scope 0 167776257 167776257 <10.1.1:1855512577> 1855512578 cluster 167776260 167776260 <10.1.4:1216454657> 1216454658 zone 1 1 1 <10.1.4:1216479235> 1216479236 node Ports: 1216479235: bound to {1,1} 1216454657: bound to {0,167776260} Media: eth ib Bearers: ib:ib0 Nodes known: <10.1.1>: up Link <broadcast-link> Window:20 packets RX packets:0 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0 TX packets:0 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0 RX naks:0 defs:0 dups:0 TX naks:0 acks:0 dups:0 Congestion bearer:0 link:0 Send queue max:0 avg:0 Link <10.1.4:ib0-10.1.1:ib0> ACTIVE MTU:2044 Priority:10 Tolerance:1500 ms Window:50 packets RX packets:80 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0 TX packets:40 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0 TX profile sample:22 packets average:54 octets 0-64:100% -256:0% -1024:0% -4096:0% -16384:0% -32768:0% -66000:0% RX states:410 probes:213 naks:0 defs:0 dups:0 TX states:410 probes:197 naks:0 acks:0 dups:0 Congestion bearer:0 link:0 Send queue max:1 avg:0 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* tipc: compress out gratuitous extra carriage returnsPaul Gortmaker2012-04-301-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the comment blocks are floating in limbo between two functions, or between blocks of code. Delete the extra line feeds between any comment and its associated following block of code, to be consistent with the majority of the rest of the kernel. Also delete trailing newlines at EOF and fix a couple trivial typos in existing comments. This is a 100% cosmetic change with no runtime impact. We get rid of over 500 lines of non-code, and being blank line deletes, they won't even show up as noise in git blame. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
