2014-09-10tipc: fix sparse warningsErik Hugne
This fixes the following sparse warnings: sparse: symbol 'tipc_update_nametbl' was not declared. Should it be static? Also, the function is changed to return bool upon success, rather than a potentially freed pointer.

2014-09-01tipc: add name distributor resiliency queueErik Hugne
TIPC name table updates are distributed asynchronously in a cluster, entailing a risk of certain race conditions. E.g., if two nodes simultaneously issue conflicting (overlapping) publications, this may not be detected until both publications have reached a third node, in which case one of the publications will be silently dropped on that node. Hence, we end up with an inconsistent name table. In most cases this conflict is just a temporary race, e.g., one node is issuing a publication under the assumption that a previous, conflicting, publication has already been withdrawn by the other node. However, because of the (rtt related) distributed update delay, this may not yet hold true on all nodes. The symptom of this failure is a syslog message: "tipc: Cannot publish {%u,%u,%u}, overlap error". In this commit we add a resiliency queue at the receiving end of the name table distributor. When insertion of an arriving publication fails, we retain it in this queue for a short amount of time, assuming that another update will arrive very soon and clear the conflict. If so happens, we insert the publication, otherwise we drop it. The (configurable) retention value defaults to 2000 ms. Knowing from experience that the situation described above is extremely rare, there is no risk that the queue will accumulate any large number of items.

In a previous commit series ("tipc: new unicast transmission code") we introduced a new message sending function, tipc_link_xmit2(), and moved the unicast data users over to use that function. We now let the internal name table distributor do the same. The interaction between the name distributor and the node/link layer also becomes significantly simpler, so we can eliminate the function tipc_link_names_xmit().

2014-04-22tipc: purge tipc_net_lock lockYing Xue
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.

2014-03-27tipc: acquire necessary locks in named_cluster_distribute routineYing Xue
The 'tipc_node_list' is guarded by tipc_net_lock and 'links' array defined in 'tipc_node' structure is protected by node lock as well. Without acquiring the two locks in named_cluster_distribute() a fatal oops may happen in case that a destroyed link might be got and then accessed. Therefore, above mentioned two locks must be held in named_cluster_distribute() to prevent the issue from happening accidentally. As 'links' array in node struct must be protected by node lock, we have to move the code of selecting an active link from tipc_link_xmit() to named_cluster_distribute() and then call __tipc_link_xmit() with the selected link to deliver name messages.

TIPC's node-scope publications are now tracked using a publications list like the lists used for cluster-scope and zone-scope publications so they can be easily updated when required.

2011-03-13tipc: Convert node object array to a hash tableAllan Stephens
Replaces the dynamically allocated array of pointers to the cluster's node objects with a static hash table. Hash collisions are resolved using chaining, with a typical hash chain having only a single node, to avoid degrading performance during processing of incoming packets. The conversion to a hash table reduces the memory requirements for TIPC's node table to approximately the same size it had prior to the previous commit. In addition to the hash table itself, TIPC now also maintains a linked list for the node objects, sorted by ascending network address. This list allows TIPC to continue sending responses to user space applications that request node and link information in sorted order. The list also improves performance when name table update messages are sent by making it easier to identify the nodes that must be notified.

To avoid this race condition the triggering routine now simply marks the node subscription as defunct (to prevent it from re-activating) instead of deregistering it. The subscription is now both deregistered and destroyed only when the subscribing port or publication code terminates the node subscription.
