* tipc: Eliminate trivial buffer manipulation helper routinesAllan Stephens2012-02-2410-91/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | Gets rid of two inlined routines that simply call existing sk_buff manipulation routines, since there is no longer any extra processing done by the helper routines. Note that these changes are essentially cosmetic in nature, and have no impact on the actual operation of TIPC.

| | | | | | | | | | | This "shortform" is actually longer than typing out what it is really trying to do, and just makes reading the code more difficult, so lets simply shoot it in the head.

* tipc: Add check to prevent insertion of duplicate name table entriesAllan Stephens2012-02-241-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | Adds a new check to TIPC's name table logic to reject any attempt to create a new name publication that is identical to an existing one. (Such an attempt will never happen under normal circumstances, but could arise if another network node malfunctions and issues a duplicate name publication message.)

* tipc: Simplify enforcement of reserved name type prohibitionAllan Stephens2012-02-245-27/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | Streamlines the logic that prevents an application from binding a reserved TIPC name type to a port by moving the check to the code that handles a socket bind() operation. This allows internal TIPC subsystems to bind a reserved name without having to set an atomic flag to gain permission to use such a name. (This simplification is now possible due to the elimination of support for TIPC's native API.)

* tipc: Remove duplicate check of message destination nodeAllan Stephens2012-02-242-52/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eliminates a check in the processing of TIPC messages arriving from off node that ensures the message is destined for this node, since this check duplicates an earlier check. (The check would be necessary if TIPC needed to be able to route incoming messages to another node, but the elimination of multi-cluster support means that this never happens and all incoming messages are consumed by the receiving node.) Note: This change involves the elimination of a single "if" statement with a large "then" clause; consequently, a significant number of lines end up getting re-indented. In addition, a simple message header access routine that is no longer referenced is eliminated. However, the only functional change is the elimination of the single check described above.

* tipc: Detect duplicate nodes using different network interfacesAllan Stephens2012-02-241-14/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Utilizes the new "node signature" field in neighbor discovery messages to ensure that all links TIPC associates with a given <Z.C.N> network address belong to the same neighboring node. (Previously, TIPC could not tell if link setup requests arriving on different interfaces were from the same node or from two different nodes that has mistakenly been assigned the same network address.) The revised algorithm for detecting a duplicate node considers both the node signature and the network interface adddress specified in a request message when deciding how to respond to a link setup request. This prevents false alarms that might otherwise arise during normal network operation under the following scenarios: a) A neighboring node reboots. (The node's signature changes, but the network interface address remains unchanged.) b) A neighboring node's network interface is replaced. (The node's signature remains unchanged, but the network interface address changes.) c) A neighboring node is completely replaced. (The node's signature and network interface address both change.) The algorithm also handles cases in which a node reboots and re-establishes its links to TIPC (or begins re-establishing those links) before TIPC detects that it is using a new node signature. In such cases of "delayed rediscovery" TIPC simply accepts the new signature without disrupting communication that is already underway over the links.

* tipc: Introduce node signature field in neighbor discovery messageAllan Stephens2012-02-244-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds support for the new "node signature" in neighbor discovery messages, which is a 16 bit identifier chosen randomly when TIPC is initialized. This field makes it possible for nodes receiving a neighbor discovery message to detect if multiple neighboring nodes are using the same network address (i.e. <Z.C.N>), even when the messages are arriving on different interfaces. This first phase of node signature support creates the signature, incorporates it into outgoing neighbor discovery messages, and tracks the signature used by valid neighbors. An upcoming patch builds on this foundation to implement the improved duplicate neighbor detection checking.

* tipc: Eliminate alteration of publication key during name table purgingAllan Stephens2012-02-061-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removes code that alters the publication key of a name table entry that is being forcibly purged from TIPC's name table after contact with the publishing node has been lost. Current TIPC ensures that all defunct names are purged before re-establishing contact with a failed node. There used to be a risk that the publication might be accidentally deleted because it might be re-added to the name table before the purge operation was completed. But now there is no longer a need to ensure that the new key is different than the old one.

* tipc: Prevent loss of fragmented messages over broadcast linkAllan Stephens2012-02-061-22/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tipc: Major redesign of broadcast link ACK/NACK algorithmsAllan Stephens2012-02-065-165/+100
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tipc: Fix problem with broadcast link synchronization between nodesAllan Stephens2012-02-061-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Corrects a problem in which a link endpoint that activates as the result of receiving a RESET/STATE sequence of link protocol messages fails to properly record the broadcast link status information about the node to which it is now communicating with. (The problem does not occur with the more common RESET/ACTIVATE sequence of messages.)

* tipc: Ensure broadcast link re-acquires node after link failureAllan Stephens2012-02-063-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug that can prevent TIPC from sending broadcast messages to a node if contact with the node is lost and then regained. The problem occurs if the broadcast link first clears the flag indicating the node is part of the link's distribution set (when it loses contact with the node), and later fails to restore the flag (when contact is regained); restoration fails if contact with the node is regained by implicit unicast link activation triggered by the arrival of a data message, rather than explicitly by the arrival of a link activation message. The broadcast link now uses separate fields to track whether a node is theoretically capable of receiving broadcast messages versus whether it is actually part of the link's distribution set. The former member is updated by the receipt of link protocol messages, which can occur at any time; the latter member is updated only when contact with the node is gained or lost. This change also permits the simplification of several conditional expressions since the broadcast link's "supported" field can now only be set if there are working links to the associated node.

* tipc: Prevent broadcast link stalling in dual LAN environmentsAllan Stephens2012-02-061-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ensure that sequence number information about incoming broadcast link messages is initialized only by the activation of the first link to a given cluster node. Previously, a race condition allowed reset and/or activation messages for a second link to re-initialize this sequence number information with obsolete values. This could trigger TIPC to request the retransmission of previously acknowledged broadcast link messages from that node, resulting in broadcast link processing becoming stalled if the node had already released one or more of those messages and was unable to perform the required retransmission.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reworks TIPC's media address data structure and associated processing routines to transfer all media-specific details of address conversion to the associated TIPC media adaptation code. TIPC's generic bearer code now only needs to know which media type an address is associated with and whether or not it is a broadcast address, and totally ignores the "value" field that contains the actual media-specific addressing info. These changes eliminate the need for a number of endianness conversion operations and will make it easier for TIPC to support new media types in the future.

* tipc: Add new address conversion routines for Ethernet mediaAllan Stephens2011-12-272-3/+79
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Enhances TIPC's Ethernet media support to provide 3 new address conversion routines, which allow TIPC to interpret an address that is in string form and to convert an address to and from the 20 byte format used in TIPC's neighbor discovery messages. These routines are pre-requisites to a follow on commit that hides all media-specific addressing details from TIPC's generic bearer code.

* tipc: Improve handling of media address printing errorsAllan Stephens2011-12-273-15/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | Enhances conversion of a media address to printable form so that an unconvertable address will be displayed as a string of hex digits, rather than not being displayed at all. (Also removes a pointless check for the existence of the media-specific address conversion routine, since the routine is not optional.)
