In commit 9546a0b7ce00 ("tipc: fix wrong connect() return code"), we
fixed the issue with the 'connect()' that returns zero even though the
connecting has failed by waiting for the connection to be 'ESTABLISHED'
really. However, the approach has one drawback in conjunction with our
'lightweight' connection setup mechanism that the following scenario
can happen:
(server) (client)
+- accept()| | wait_for_conn()
| | |connect() -------+
| |<-------[SYN]---------| > sleeping
| | *CONNECTING |
|--------->*ESTABLISHED | |
|--------[ACK]-------->*ESTABLISHED > wakeup()
send()|--------[DATA]------->|\ > wakeup()
send()|--------[DATA]------->| | > wakeup()
. . . . |-> recvq .
. . . . | .
send()|--------[DATA]------->|/ > wakeup()
close()|--------[FIN]-------->*DISCONNECTING |
*DISCONNECTING | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> schedule()
| wait again
.
.
| ETIMEDOUT
Upon the receipt of the server 'ACK', the client becomes 'ESTABLISHED'
and the 'wait_for_conn()' process is woken up but not run. Meanwhile,
the server starts to send a number of data following by a 'close()'
shortly without waiting any response from the client, which then forces
the client socket to be 'DISCONNECTING' immediately. When the wait
process is switched to be running, it continues to wait until the timer
expires because of the unexpected socket state. The client 'connect()'
will finally get ‘-ETIMEDOUT’ and force to release the socket whereas
there remains the messages in its receive queue.
Obviously the issue would not happen if the server had some delay prior
to its 'close()' (or the number of 'DATA' messages is large enough),
but any kind of delay would make the connection setup/shutdown "heavy".
We solve this by simply allowing the 'connect()' returns zero in this
particular case. The socket is already 'DISCONNECTING', so any further
write will get '-EPIPE' but the socket is still able to read the
messages existing in its receive queue.
Note: This solution doesn't break the previous one as it deals with a
different situation that the socket state is 'DISCONNECTING' but has no
error (i.e. sk->sk_err = 0).

The current 'tipc_wait_for_connect()' function does a wait-loop for the
condition 'sk->sk_state != TIPC_CONNECTING' to conclude if the socket
connecting has done. However, when the condition is met, it returns '0'
even in the case the connecting is actually failed, the socket state is
set to 'TIPC_DISCONNECTING' (e.g. when the server socket has closed..).
This results in a wrong return code for the 'connect()' call from user,
making it believe that the connection is established and go ahead with
building, sending a message, etc. but finally failed e.g. '-EPIPE'.
This commit fixes the issue by changing the wait condition to the
'tipc_sk_connected(sk)', so the function will return '0' only when the
connection is really established. Otherwise, either the socket 'sk_err'
if any or '-ETIMEDOUT'/'-EINTR' will be returned correspondingly.

When a socket is suddenly shutdown or released, it will reject all the
unreceived messages in its receive queue. This applies to a connected
socket too, whereas there is only one 'FIN' message required to be sent
back to its peer in this case.
In case there are many messages in the queue and/or some connections
with such messages are shutdown at the same time, the link layer will
easily get overflowed at the 'TIPC_SYSTEM_IMPORTANCE' backlog level
because of the message rejections. As a result, the link will be taken
down. Moreover, immediately when the link is re-established, the socket
layer can continue to reject the messages and the same issue happens...
The commit refactors the '__tipc_shutdown()' function to only send one
'FIN' in the situation mentioned above. For the connectionless case, it
is unavoidable but usually there is no rejections for such socket
messages because they are 'dest-droppable' by default.
In addition, the new code makes the other socket states clear
(e.g.'TIPC_LISTEN') and treats as a separate case to avoid misbehaving.

To enable iproute2/tipc to generate backwards compatible
printouts and validate command parameters for nodes using a
<z.c.n> node address, it needs to be able to read the legacy
address flag from the kernel. The legacy address flag records
the way in which the node identity was originally specified.
The legacy address flag is requested by the netlink message
TIPC_NL_ADDR_LEGACY_GET. If the flag is set the attribute
TIPC_NLA_NET_ADDR_LEGACY is set in the return message.

In the commit referred to below we eliminated sending of the 'gap'
indicator in regular ACK messages, reserving this to explicit NACK
ditto.
Unfortunately we missed to also eliminate building of the 'gap block'
area in ACK messages. This area is meant to report gaps in the
received packet sequence following the initial gap, so that lost
packets can be retransmitted earlier and received out-of-sequence
packets can be released earlier. However, the interpretation of those
blocks is dependent on a complete and correct sequence of gaps and
acks. Hence, when the initial gap indicator is missing a single gap
block will be interpreted as an acknowledgment of all preceding
packets. This may lead to packets being released prematurely from the
sender's transmit queue, with easily predicatble consequences.
We now fix this by not building any gap block area if there is no
initial gap to report.

When a user message is sent, TIPC will check if the socket has faced a
congestion at link layer. If that happens, it will make a sleep to wait
for the congestion to disappear. This leaves a gap for other users to
take over the socket (e.g. multi threads) since the socket is released
as well. Also, in case of connectionless (e.g. SOCK_RDM), user is free
to send messages to various destinations (e.g. via 'sendto()'), then
the socket's preformatted header has to be updated correspondingly
prior to the actual payload message building.
Unfortunately, the latter action is done before the first action which
causes a condition issue that the destination of a certain message can
be modified incorrectly in the middle, leading to wrong destination
when that message is built. Consequently, when the message is sent to
the link layer, it gets stuck there forever because the peer node will
simply reject it. After a number of retransmission attempts, the link
is eventually taken down and the retransmission failure is reported.
This commit fixes the problem by rearranging the order of actions to
prevent the race condition from occurring, so the message building is
'atomic' and its header will not be modified by anyone.

In commit c55c8edafa91 ("tipc: smooth change between replicast and
broadcast"), we allow instant switching between replicast and broadcast
by sending a dummy 'SYN' packet on the last used link to synchronize
packets on the links. The 'SYN' message is an object of link congestion
also, so if that happens, a 'SOCK_WAKEUP' will be scheduled to be sent
back to the socket...
However, in that commit, we simply use the same socket 'cong_link_cnt'
counter for both the 'SYN' & normal payload message sending. Therefore,
if both the replicast & broadcast links are congested, the counter will
be not updated correctly but overwritten by the latter congestion.
Later on, when the 'SOCK_WAKEUP' messages are processed, the counter is
reduced one by one and eventually overflowed. Consequently, further
activities on the socket will only wait for the false congestion signal
to disappear but never been met.
Because sending the 'SYN' message is vital for the mechanism, it should
be done anyway. This commit fixes the issue by marking the message with
an error code e.g. 'TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT', so its sending should not face a
link congestion, there is no need to touch the socket 'cong_link_cnt'
either. In addition, in the event of any error (e.g. -ENOBUFS), we will
purge the entire payload message queue and make a return immediately.

The current rbtree for service ranges in the name table is built based
on the 'lower' & 'upper' range values resulting in a flaw in the rbtree
searching. Some issues have been observed in case of range overlapping:
Case #1: unable to withdraw a name entry:
After some name services are bound, all of them are withdrawn by user
but one remains in the name table forever. This corrupts the table and
that service becomes dummy i.e. no real port.
E.g.
/
{22, 22}
/
/
---> {10, 50}
/ \
/ \
{10, 30} {20, 60}
The node {10, 30} cannot be removed since the rbtree searching stops at
the node's ancestor i.e. {10, 50}, so starting from it will never reach
the finding node.
Case #2: failed to send data in some cases:
E.g. Two service ranges: {20, 60}, {10, 50} are bound. The rbtree for
this service will be one of the two cases below depending on the order
of the bindings:
{20, 60} {10, 50} <--
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
{10, 50} NIL <-- NIL {20, 60}
(a) (b)
Now, try to send some data to service {30}, there will be two results:
(a): Failed, no route to host.
(b): Ok.
The reason is that the rbtree searching will stop at the pointing node
as shown above.
Case #3: Same as case #2b above but if the data sending's scope is
local and the {10, 50} is published by a peer node, then it will result
in 'no route to host' even though the other {20, 60} is for example on
the local node which should be able to get the data.
The issues are actually due to the way we built the rbtree. This commit
fixes it by introducing an additional field to each node - named 'max',
which is the largest 'upper' of that node subtree. The 'max' value for
each subtrees will be propagated correctly whenever a node is inserted/
removed or the tree is rebalanced by the augmented rbtree callbacks.
By this way, we can change the rbtree searching appoarch to solve the
issues above. Another benefit from this is that we can now improve the
searching for a next range matching e.g. in case of multicast, so get
rid of the unneeded looping over all nodes in the tree.

We introduce a simple variable window congestion control for links.
The algorithm is inspired by the Reno algorithm, covering both 'slow
start', 'congestion avoidance', and 'fast recovery' modes.
- We introduce hard lower and upper window limits per link, still
different and configurable per bearer type.
- We introduce a 'slow start theshold' variable, initially set to
the maximum window size.
- We let a link start at the minimum congestion window, i.e. in slow
start mode, and then let is grow rapidly (+1 per rceived ACK) until
it reaches the slow start threshold and enters congestion avoidance
mode.
- In congestion avoidance mode we increment the congestion window for
each window-size number of acked packets, up to a possible maximum
equal to the configured maximum window.
- For each non-duplicate NACK received, we drop back to fast recovery
mode, by setting the both the slow start threshold to and the
congestion window to (current_congestion_window / 2).
- If the timeout handler finds that the transmit queue has not moved
since the previous timeout, it drops the link back to slow start
and forces a probe containing the last sent sequence number to the
sent to the peer, so that this can discover the stale situation.
This change does in reality have effect only on unicast ethernet
transport, as we have seen that there is no room whatsoever for
increasing the window max size for the UDP bearer.
For now, we also choose to keep the limits for the broadcast link
unchanged and equal.
This algorithm seems to give a 50-100% throughput improvement for
messages larger than MTU.

When we increase the link tranmsit window we often observe the following
scenario:
1) A STATE message bypasses a sequence of traffic packets and arrives
far ahead of those to the receiver. STATE messages contain a
'peers_nxt_snt' field to indicate which was the last packet sent
from the peer. This mechanism is intended as a last resort for the
receiver to detect missing packets, e.g., during very low traffic
when there is no packet flow to help early loss detection.
3) The receiving link compares the 'peer_nxt_snt' field to its own
'rcv_nxt', finds that there is a gap, and immediately sends a
NACK message back to the peer.
4) When this NACKs arrives at the sender, all the requested
retransmissions are performed, since it is a first-time request.
Just like in the scenario described in the previous commit this leads
to many redundant retransmissions, with decreased throughput as a
consequence.
We fix this by adding two more conditions before we send a NACK in
this sitution. First, the deferred queue must be empty, so we cannot
assume that the potential packet loss has already been detected by
other means. Second, we check the 'peers_snd_nxt' field only in probe/
probe_reply messages, thus turning this into a true mechanism of last
resort as it was really meant to be.

When we increase the link send window we sometimes observe the
following scenario:
1) A packet #N arrives out of order far ahead of a sequence of older
packets which are still under way. The packet is added to the
deferred queue.
2) The missing packets arrive in sequence, and for each 16th of them
an ACK is sent back to the receiver, as it should be.
3) When building those ACK messages, it is checked if there is a gap
between the link's 'rcv_nxt' and the first packet in the deferred
queue. This is always the case until packet number #N-1 arrives, and
a 'gap' indicator is added, effectively turning them into NACK
messages.
4) When those NACKs arrive at the sender, all the requested
retransmissions are done, since it is a first-time request.
This sometimes leads to a huge amount of redundant retransmissions,
causing a drop in max throughput. This problem gets worse when we
in a later commit introduce variable window congestion control,
since it drops the link back to 'fast recovery' much more often
than necessary.
We now fix this by not sending any 'gap' indicator in regular ACK
messages. We already have a mechanism for sending explicit NACKs
in place, and this is sufficient to keep up the packet flow.

In order to set/get/dump, the tipc uses the generic netlink
infrastructure. So, when tipc module is inserted, init function
calls genl_register_family().
After genl_register_family(), set/get/dump commands are immediately
allowed and these callbacks internally use the net_generic.
net_generic is allocated by register_pernet_device() but this
is called after genl_register_family() in the __init function.
So, these callbacks would use un-initialized net_generic.
Test commands:
#SHELL1
while :
do
modprobe tipc
modprobe -rv tipc
done
#SHELL2
while :
do
tipc link list
done

ipv6_stub uses the ip6_dst_lookup function to allow other modules to
perform IPv6 lookups. However, this function skips the XFRM layer
entirely.
All users of ipv6_stub->ip6_dst_lookup use ip_route_output_flow (via the
ip_route_output_key and ip_route_output helpers) for their IPv4 lookups,
which calls xfrm_lookup_route(). This patch fixes this inconsistent
behavior by switching the stub to ip6_dst_lookup_flow, which also calls
xfrm_lookup_route().
This requires some changes in all the callers, as these two functions
take different arguments and have different return types.

Scenario:
1. A client socket initiates a SYN message to a listening socket.
2. The send link is congested, the SYN message is put in the
send link and a wakeup message is put in wakeup queue.
3. The congestion situation is abated, the wakeup message is
pulled out of the wakeup queue. Function tipc_sk_push_backlog()
is called to send out delayed messages by Nagle. However,
the client socket is still in CONNECTING state. So, it sends
the SYN message in the socket write queue to the listening socket
again.
4. The listening socket receives the first SYN message and creates
first server socket. The client socket receives ACK- and establishes
a connection to the first server socket. The client socket closes
its connection with the first server socket.
5. The listening socket receives the second SYN message and creates
second server socket. The second server socket sends ACK- to the
client socket, but it has been closed. It results in connection
reset error when reading from the server socket in user space.
Solution: return from function tipc_sk_push_backlog() immediately
if there is pending SYN message in the socket write queue.

It is observed that TIPC service binding order will not be kept in the
publication event report to user if the service is subscribed after the
bindings.
For example, services are bound by application in the following order:
Server: bound port A to {18888,66,66} scope 2
Server: bound port A to {18888,33,33} scope 2
Now, if a client subscribes to the service range (e.g. {18888, 0-100}),
it will get the 'TIPC_PUBLISHED' events in that binding order only when
the subscription is started before the bindings.
Otherwise, if started after the bindings, the events will arrive in the
opposite order:
Client: received event for published {18888,33,33}
Client: received event for published {18888,66,66}
For the latter case, it is clear that the bindings have existed in the
name table already, so when reported, the events' order will follow the
order of the rbtree binding nodes (- a node with lesser 'lower'/'upper'
range value will be first).
This is correct as we provide the tracking on a specific service status
(available or not), not the relationship between multiple services.
However, some users expect to see the same order of arriving events
irrespective of when the subscription is issued. This turns out to be
easy to fix. We now add functionality to ensure that publication events
always are issued in the same temporal order as the corresponding
bindings were performed.
v2: replace the unnecessary macro - 'publication_after()' with inline
function.
v3: reuse 'time_after32()' instead of reinventing the same exact code.

This commit offers an option to encrypt and authenticate all messaging,
including the neighbor discovery messages. The currently most advanced
algorithm supported is the AEAD AES-GCM (like IPSec or TLS). All
encryption/decryption is done at the bearer layer, just before leaving
or after entering TIPC.
Supported features:
- Encryption & authentication of all TIPC messages (header + data);
- Two symmetric-key modes: Cluster and Per-node;
- Automatic key switching;
- Key-expired revoking (sequence number wrapped);
- Lock-free encryption/decryption (RCU);
- Asynchronous crypto, Intel AES-NI supported;
- Multiple cipher transforms;
- Logs & statistics;
Two key modes:
- Cluster key mode: One single key is used for both TX & RX in all
nodes in the cluster.
- Per-node key mode: Each nodes in the cluster has one specific TX key.
For RX, a node requires its peers' TX key to be able to decrypt the
messages from those peers.
Key setting from user-space is performed via netlink by a user program
(e.g. the iproute2 'tipc' tool).
Internal key state machine:
Attach Align(RX)
+-+ +-+
| V | V
+---------+ Attach +---------+
| IDLE |---------------->| PENDING |(user = 0)
+---------+ +---------+
A A Switch| A

+---------+ (RX) +---------+
(user = 1) (user >= 1)
The number of TFMs is 10 by default and can be changed via the procfs
'net/tipc/max_tfms'. At this moment, as for simplicity, this file is
also used to print the crypto statistics at runtime:
echo 0xfff1 > /proc/sys/net/tipc/max_tfms
The patch defines a new TIPC version (v7) for the encryption message (-
backward compatibility as well). The message is basically encapsulated
as follows:
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| TIPCv7 encryption | Original TIPCv2 | Authentication |
| header | packet (encrypted) | Tag |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
The throughput is about ~40% for small messages (compared with non-
encryption) and ~9% for large messages. With the support from hardware
crypto i.e. the Intel AES-NI CPU instructions, the throughput increases
upto ~85% for small messages and ~55% for large messages.
By default, the new feature is inactive (i.e. no encryption) until user
sets a key for TIPC. There is however also a new option - "TIPC_CRYPTO"
in the kernel configuration to enable/disable the new code when needed.

When user sets RX key for a peer not existing on the own node, a new
node entry is needed to which the RX key will be attached. However,
since the peer node address (& capabilities) is unknown at that moment,
only the node-ID is provided, this commit allows the creation of a node
with only the data that we call as “preliminary”.
A preliminary node is not the object of the “tipc_node_find()” but the
“tipc_node_find_by_id()”. Once the first message i.e. LINK_CONFIG comes
from that peer, and is successfully decrypted by the own node, the
actual peer node data will be properly updated and the node will
function as usual.
In addition, the node timer always starts when a node object is created
so if a preliminary node is not used, it will be cleaned up.
The later encryption functions will also use the node timer and be able
to create a preliminary node automatically when needed.

As a need to support the crypto asynchronous operations in the later
commits, apart from the current RCU mechanism for bearer pointer, we
add a 'refcnt' to the bearer object as well.
So, a bearer can be hold via 'tipc_bearer_hold()' without being freed
even though the bearer or interface can be disabled in the meanwhile.
If that happens, the bearer will be released then when the crypto
operation is completed and 'tipc_bearer_put()' is called.

Currently, we scan over all network namespaces at each received
discovery message in order to check if the sending peer might be
present in a host local namespaces.
This is unnecessary since we can assume that a peer will not change its
location during an established session.
We now improve the condition for this testing so that we don't perform
any redundant scans.

When preparing tunnel packets for the link failover or synchronization,
as for the safe algorithm, we added a dummy packet on the pair link but
never sent it out. In the case of failover, the pair link will be reset
anyway. But for link synching, it will always result in retransmission
of the dummy packet after that.
We have also observed that such the retransmission at the early stage
when a new node comes in a large cluster will take some time and hard
to be done, leading to the repeated retransmit failures and the link is
reset.
Since in commit 4929a932be33 ("tipc: optimize link synching mechanism")
we have already built a dummy 'TUNNEL_PROTOCOL' message on the new link
for the synchronization, there's no need for the dummy on the pair one,
this commit will skip it when the new mechanism takes in place. In case
nothing exists in the pair link's transmq, the link synching will just
start and stop shortly on the peer side.
The patch is backward compatible.

With huge cluster (e.g >200nodes), the amount of that flow:
gap -> retransmit packet -> acked will take time in case of STATE_MSG
dropped/delayed because a lot of traffic. This lead to 1.5 sec tolerance
value criteria made link easy failure around 2nd, 3rd of failed
retransmission attempts.
Instead of re-introduced criteria of 99 faled retransmissions to fix the
issue, we increase failure detection timer to ten times tolerance value.

There are two improvements when re-calculate cluster capabilities:
- When deleting a specific down node, need to re-calculate.
- In tipc_node_cleanup(), do not need to re-calculate if node
is still existing in cluster.

As mentioned in commit e95584a889e1 ("tipc: fix unlimited bundling of
small messages"), the current message bundling algorithm is inefficient
that can generate bundles of only one payload message, that causes
unnecessary overheads for both the sender and receiver.
This commit re-designs the 'tipc_msg_make_bundle()' function (now named
as 'tipc_msg_try_bundle()'), so that when a message comes at the first
place, we will just check & keep a reference to it if the message is
suitable for bundling. The message buffer will be put into the link
backlog queue and processed as normal. Later on, when another one comes
we will make a bundle with the first message if possible and so on...
This way, a bundle if really needed will always consist of at least two
payload messages. Otherwise, we let the first buffer go its way without
any need of bundling, so reduce the overheads to zero.
Moreover, since now we have both the messages in hand, we can even
optimize the 'tipc_msg_bundle()' function, make bundle of a very large
(size ~ MSS) and small messages which is not with the current algorithm
e.g. [1400-byte message] + [10-byte message] (MTU = 1500).

We introduce a feature that works like a combination of TCP_NAGLE and
TCP_CORK, but without some of the weaknesses of those. In particular,
we will not observe long delivery delays because of delayed acks, since
the algorithm itself decides if and when acks are to be sent from the
receiving peer.
- The nagle property as such is determined by manipulating a new
'maxnagle' field in struct tipc_sock. If certain conditions are met,
'maxnagle' will define max size of the messages which can be bundled.
If it is set to zero no messages are ever bundled, implying that the
nagle property is disabled.
- A socket with the nagle property enabled enters nagle mode when more
than 4 messages have been sent out without receiving any data message
from the peer.
- A socket leaves nagle mode whenever it receives a data message from
the peer.
In nagle mode, messages smaller than 'maxnagle' are accumulated in the
socket write queue. The last buffer in the queue is marked with a new
'ack_required' bit, which forces the receiving peer to send a CONN_ACK
message back to the sender upon reception.
The accumulated contents of the write queue is transmitted when one of
the following events or conditions occur.
- A CONN_ACK message is received from the peer.
- A data message is received from the peer.
- A SOCK_WAKEUP pseudo message is received from the link level.
- The write queue contains more than 64 1k blocks of data.
- The connection is being shut down.
- There is no CONN_ACK message to expect. I.e., there is currently
no outstanding message where the 'ack_required' bit was set. As a
consequence, the first message added after we enter nagle mode
is always sent directly with this bit set.
This new feature gives a 50-100% improvement of throughput for small
(i.e., less than MTU size) messages, while it might add up to one RTT
to latency time when the socket is in nagle mode.

Currently, TIPC transports intra-node user data messages directly
socket to socket, hence shortcutting all the lower layers of the
communication stack. This gives TIPC very good intra node performance,
both regarding throughput and latency.
We now introduce a similar mechanism for TIPC data traffic across
network namespaces located in the same kernel. On the send path, the
call chain is as always accompanied by the sending node's network name
space pointer. However, once we have reliably established that the
receiving node is represented by a namespace on the same host, we just
replace the namespace pointer with the receiving node/namespace's
ditto, and follow the regular socket receive patch though the receiving
node. This technique gives us a throughput similar to the node internal
throughput, several times larger than if we let the traffic go though
the full network stacks. As a comparison, max throughput for 64k
messages is four times larger than TCP throughput for the same type of
traffic.
To meet any security concerns, the following should be noted.
- All nodes joining a cluster are supposed to have been be certified
and authenticated by mechanisms outside TIPC. This is no different for
nodes/namespaces on the same host; they have to auto discover each
other using the attached interfaces, and establish links which are
supervised via the regular link monitoring mechanism. Hence, a kernel
local node has no other way to join a cluster than any other node, and
have to obey to policies set in the IP or device layers of the stack.
- Only when a sender has established with 100% certainty that the peer
node is located in a kernel local namespace does it choose to let user
data messages, and only those, take the crossover path to the receiving
node/namespace.
- If the receiving node/namespace is removed, its namespace pointer
is invalidated at all peer nodes, and their neighbor link monitoring
will eventually note that this node is gone.
- To ensure the "100% certainty" criteria, and prevent any possible
spoofing, received discovery messages must contain a proof that the
sender knows a common secret. We use the hash mix of the sending
node/namespace for this purpose, since it can be accessed directly by
all other namespaces in the kernel. Upon reception of a discovery
message, the receiver checks this proof against all the local
namespaces'hash_mix:es. If it finds a match, that, along with a
matching node id and cluster id, this is deemed sufficient proof that
the peer node in question is in a local namespace, and a wormhole can
be opened.
- We should also consider that TIPC is intended to be a cluster local
IPC mechanism (just like e.g. UNIX sockets) rather than a network
protocol, and hence we think it can justified to allow it to shortcut the
lower protocol layers.
Regarding traceability, we should notice that since commit 6c9081a3915d
("tipc: add loopback device tracking") it is possible to follow the node
internal packet flow by just activating tcpdump on the loopback
interface. This will be true even for this mechanism; by activating
tcpdump on the involved nodes' loopback interfaces their inter-name
space messaging can easily be tracked.
v2:
- update 'net' pointer when node left/rejoined
v3:
- grab read/write lock when using node ref obj
v4:
- clone traffics between netns to loopback
