* tipc: simplify packet sequence number handlingJon Paul Maloy2015-05-141-6/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although the sequence number in the TIPC protocol is 16 bits, we have until now stored it internally as an unsigned 32 bits integer. We got around this by always doing explicit modulo-65535 operations whenever we need to access a sequence number. We now make the incoming and outgoing sequence numbers to unsigned 16-bit integers, and remove the modulo operations where applicable. We also move the arithmetic inline functions for 16 bit integers to core.h, and the function buf_seqno() to msg.h, so they can easily be accessed from anywhere in the code.

* tipc: eliminate delayed link deletion at link failoverJon Paul Maloy2015-04-021-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a bearer is disabled manually, all its links have to be reset and deleted. However, if there is a remaining, parallel link ready to take over a deleted link's traffic, we currently delay the delete of the removed link until the failover procedure is finished. This is because the remaining link needs to access state from the reset link, such as the last received packet number, and any partially reassembled buffer, in order to perform a successful failover. In this commit, we do instead move the state data over to the new link, so that it can fulfill the procedure autonomously, without accessing any data on the old link. This means that we can now proceed and delete all pertaining links immediately when a bearer is disabled. This saves us from some unnecessary complexity in such situations. We also choose to change the confusing definitions CHANGEOVER_PROTOCOL, ORIGINAL_MSG and DUPLICATE_MSG to the more descriptive TUNNEL_PROTOCOL, FAILOVER_MSG and SYNCH_MSG respectively.

* tipc: eliminate race condition at dual link establishmentJon Paul Maloy2015-03-251-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Despite recent improvements, the establishment of dual parallel links still has a small glitch where messages can bypass each other. When the second link in a dual-link configuration is established, part of the first link's traffic will be steered over to the new link. Although we do have a mechanism to ensure that packets sent before and after the establishment of the new link arrive in sequence to the destination node, this is not enough. The arriving messages will still be delivered upwards in different threads, something entailing a risk of message disordering during the transition phase. To fix this, we introduce a synchronization mechanism between the two parallel links, so that traffic arriving on the new link cannot be added to its input queue until we are guaranteed that all pre-establishment messages have been delivered on the old, parallel link. This problem seems to always have been around, but its occurrence is so rare that it has not been noticed until recent intensive testing.

* tipc: clean up handling of link congestionJon Paul Maloy2015-03-251-17/+11Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the recent changes in message importance handling it becomes possible to simplify handling of messages and sockets when we encounter link congestion. We merge the function tipc_link_cong() into link_schedule_user(), and simplify the code of the latter. The code should now be easier to follow, especially regarding return codes and handling of the message that caused the situation. In case the scheduling function is unable to pre-allocate a wakeup message buffer, it now returns -ENOBUFS, which is a more correct code than the previously used -EHOSTUNREACH.

* tipc: clean up handling of message prioritiesJon Paul Maloy2015-03-141-31/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Messages transferred by TIPC are assigned an "importance priority", -an integer value indicating how to treat the message when there is link or destination socket congestion. There is no separate header field for this value. Instead, the message user values have been chosen in ascending order according to perceived importance, so that the message user field can be used for this. This is not a good solution. First, we have many more users than the needed priority levels, so we end up with treating more priority levels than necessary. Second, the user field cannot always accurately reflect the priority of the message. E.g., a message fragment packet should really have the priority of the enveloped user data message, and not the priority of the MSG_FRAGMENTER user. Until now, we have been working around this problem in different ways, but it is now time to implement a consistent way of handling such priorities, although still within the constraint that we cannot allocate any more bits in the regular data message header for this. In this commit, we define a new priority level, TIPC_SYSTEM_IMPORTANCE, that will be the only one used apart from the four (lower) user data levels. All non-data messages map down to this priority. Furthermore, we take some free bits from the MSG_FRAGMENTER header and allocate them to store the priority of the enveloped message. We then adjust the functions msg_importance()/msg_set_importance() so that they read/set the correct header fields depending on user type. This small protocol change is fully compatible, because the code at the receiving end of a link currently reads the importance level only from user data messages, where there is no change.

* tipc: eliminate race condition at multicast receptionJon Paul Maloy2015-02-061-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a previous commit in this series we resolved a race problem during unicast message reception. Here, we resolve the same problem at multicast reception. We apply the same technique: an input queue serializing the delivery of arriving buffers. The main difference is that here we do it in two steps. First, the broadcast link feeds arriving buffers into the tail of an arrival queue, which head is consumed at the socket level, and where destination lookup is performed. Second, if the lookup is successful, the resulting buffer clones are fed into a second queue, the input queue. This queue is consumed at reception in the socket just like in the unicast case. Both queues are protected by the same lock, -the one of the input queue. Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* tipc: resolve race problem at unicast message receptionJon Paul Maloy2015-02-061-0/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TIPC handles message cardinality and sequencing at the link layer, before passing messages upwards to the destination sockets. During the upcall from link to socket no locks are held. It is therefore possible, and we see it happen occasionally, that messages arriving in different threads and delivered in sequence still bypass each other before they reach the destination socket. This must not happen, since it violates the sequentiality guarantee. We solve this by adding a new input buffer queue to the link structure. Arriving messages are added safely to the tail of that queue by the link, while the head of the queue is consumed, also safely, by the receiving socket. Sequentiality is secured per socket by only allowing buffers to be dequeued inside the socket lock. Since there may be multiple simultaneous readers of the queue, we use a 'filter' parameter to reduce the risk that they peek the same buffer from the queue, hence also reducing the risk of contention on the receiving socket locks. This solves the sequentiality problem, and seems to cause no measurable performance degradation. A nice side effect of this change is that lock handling in the functions tipc_rcv() and tipc_bcast_rcv() now becomes uniform, something that will enable future simplifications of those functions.

* tipc: split up function tipc_msg_eval()Jon Paul Maloy2015-02-061-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function tipc_msg_eval() is in reality doing two related, but different tasks. First it tries to find a new destination for named messages, in case there was no first lookup, or if the first lookup failed. Second, it does what its name suggests, evaluating the validity of the message and its destination, and returning an appropriate error code depending on the result. This is confusing, and in this commit we choose to break it up into two functions. A new function, tipc_msg_lookup_dest(), first attempts to find a new destination, if the message is of the right type. If this lookup fails, or if the message should not be subject to a second lookup, the already existing tipc_msg_reverse() is called. This function performs prepares the message for rejection, if applicable. Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* tipc: reduce usage of context info in socket and linkJon Paul Maloy2015-02-061-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The most common usage of namespace information is when we fetch the own node addess from the net structure. This leads to a lot of passing around of a parameter of type 'struct net *' between functions just to make them able to obtain this address. However, in many cases this is unnecessary. The own node address is readily available as a member of both struct tipc_sock and tipc_link, and can be fetched from there instead. The fact that the vast majority of functions in socket.c and link.c anyway are maintaining a pointer to their respective base structures makes this option even more compelling. In this commit, we introduce the inline functions tsk_own_node() and link_own_node() to make it easy for functions to fetch the node address from those structs instead of having to pass along and dereference the namespace struct. In particular, we make calls to the msg_xx() functions in msg.{h,c} context independent by directly passing them the own node address as parameter when needed. Those functions should be regarded as leaves in the code dependency tree, and it is hence desirable to keep them namspace unaware. Apart from a potential positive effect on cache behavior, these changes make it easier to introduce the changes that will follow later in this series.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current link implementation keeps a linked list of blocked ports/ sockets that is populated when there is link congestion. The purpose of this is to let the link know which users to wake up when the congestion abates. This adds unnecessary complexity to the data structure and the code, since it forces us to involve the link each time we want to delete a socket. It also forces us to grab the spinlock port_lock within the scope of node_lock. We want to get rid of this direct dependence, as well as the deadlock hazard resulting from the usage of port_lock. In this commit, we instead let the link keep list of a "wakeup" pseudo messages for use in such situations. Those messages are sent to the pending sockets via the ordinary message reception path, and wake up the socket's owner when they are received. This enables us to get rid of the 'waiting_ports' linked lists in struct tipc_port that manifest this direct reference. As a consequence, we can eliminate another BH entry into the socket, and hence the need to grab port_lock. This is a further step in our effort to remove port_lock altogether.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fragmentation at message sending is currently performed in two places in link.c, depending on whether data to be transmitted is delivered in the form of an iovec or as a big sk_buff.

Each fragment is sized according to the MTU value given by the caller, and is prepended with a correctly built fragment header, when needed. The function is independent from who is calling and where the chain will be delivered, as long as the caller is able to indicate a correct MTU. The function is tested, but not called by anybody yet.

* tipc: introduce send functions for chained buffers in linkJon Paul Maloy2014-06-271-1/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current link implementation provides several different transmit functions, depending on the characteristics of the message to be sent: if it is an iovec or an sk_buff, if it needs fragmentation or not, if the caller holds the node_lock or not. The permutation of these options gives us an unwanted amount of unnecessarily complex code. As a first step towards simplifying the send path for all messages, we introduce two new send functions at link level, tipc_link_xmit2() and __tipc_link_xmit2(). The former looks up a link to the message destination, and if one is found, it grabs the node lock and calls the second function, which works exclusively inside the node lock protection. If no link is found, and the destination is on the same node, it delivers the message directly to the local destination socket. The new functions take a buffer chain where all packet headers are already prepared, and the correct MTU has been used. These two functions will later replace all other link-level transmit functions. The functions are not backwards compatible, so we have added them as new functions with temporary names. They are tested, but have no users yet. Those will be added later in this series.

* tipc: rename and move message reassembly functionJon Paul Maloy2014-05-141-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function tipc_link_frag_rcv() is in reality a re-entrant generic message reassemby function that has nothing in particular to do with the link, where it is defined now. This becomes obvious when we see the need to call the function from other places in the code. In this commit rename it to tipc_buf_append() and move it to the file msg.c. We also simplify its signature by moving the tail pointer to the control block of the head buffer, hence making the head buffer self-contained.

* tipc: message reassembly using fragment chainErik Hugne2013-11-081-12/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the first fragment of a long data data message is received on a link, a reassembly buffer large enough to hold the data from this and all subsequent fragments of the message is allocated. The payload of each new fragment is copied into this buffer upon arrival. When the last fragment is received, the reassembled message is delivered upwards to the port/socket layer. Not only is this an inefficient approach, but it may also cause bursts of reassembly failures in low memory situations. since we may fail to allocate the necessary large buffer in the first place. Furthermore, after 100 subsequent such failures the link will be reset, something that in reality aggravates the situation. To remedy this problem, this patch introduces a different approach. Instead of allocating a big reassembly buffer, we now append the arriving fragments to a reassembly chain on the link, and deliver the whole chain up to the socket layer once the last fragment has been received. This is safe because the retransmission layer of a TIPC link always delivers packets in strict uninterrupted order, to the reassembly layer as to all other upper layers. Hence there can never be more than one fragment chain pending reassembly at any given time in a link, and we can trust (but still verify) that the fragments will be chained up in the correct order.

* tipc: Remove duplicate check of message destination nodeAllan Stephens2012-02-241-5/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Introduce node signature field in neighbor discovery messageAllan Stephens2012-02-241-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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'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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rework TIPC's message sending routines to take advantage of the total amount of data value passed to it by the kernel socket infrastructure. This change eliminates the need for TIPC to compute the size of outgoing messages itself, as well as the check for an oversize message in tipc_msg_build(). In addition, this change warrants an explanation: - res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, 0); + res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, bytes_to_send); Previously, the final argument to send_packet() was ignored (since the amount of data being sent was recalculated by a lower-level routine) and we could just pass in a dummy value (0). Now that the recalculation is being eliminated, the argument value being passed to send_packet() is significant and we have to supply the actual amount of data we want to send.
