The binding table's 'cluster_scope' list is rcu protected to handle races between threads changing the list and those traversing the list at the same moment. We have now found that the function named_distribute() uses the regular list_for_each() macro to traverse the said list. Likewise, the function tipc_named_withdraw() is removing items from the same list using the regular list_del() call. When these two functions execute in parallel we see occasional crashes. This commit fixes this by adding the missing _rcu() suffixes. Signed-off-by:

With the new RB tree structure for service ranges it becomes possible to solve an old problem; - we can now allow overlapping service ranges in the table. When inserting a new service range to the tree, we use 'lower' as primary key, and when necessary 'upper' as secondary key. Since there may now be multiple service ranges matching an indicated 'lower' value, we must also add the 'upper' value to the functions used for removing publications, so that the correct, corresponding range item can be found. These changes guarantee that a well-formed publication/withdrawal item from a peer node never will be rejected, and make it possible to eliminate the problematic backlog functionality we currently have for handling such cases.

We add a 128-bit node identity, as an alternative to the currently used 32-bit node address. For the sake of compatibility and to minimize message header changes we retain the existing 32-bit address field. When not set explicitly by the user, this field will be filled with a hash value generated from the much longer node identity, and be used as a shorthand value for the latter. We permit either the address or the identity to be set by configuration, but not both, so when the address value is set by a legacy user the corresponding 128-bit node identity is generated based on the that value.

The size of struct publication can be reduced further. Membership in lists 'nodesub_list' and 'local_list' is mutually exlusive, in that remote publications use the former and local publications the latter.

Until now, we allocate memory always with GFP_ATOMIC flag. When the system is under memory pressure and a user tries to send, the send fails due to low memory. However, the user application can wait for free memory if we allocate it using GFP_KERNEL flag. In this commit, we use allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL for all user allocation. Reported-by:

In commit 2d18ac4b ("tipc: extend broadcast link initialization criteria") we tried to fix a problem with the initial synchronization of broadcast link acknowledge values. Unfortunately that solution is not sufficient to solve the issue. We have seen it happen that LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE packets with a valid non-zero unicast acknowledge number may bypass BCAST_PROTOCOL initialization, NAME_DISTRIBUTOR and other STATE packets with invalid broadcast acknowledge numbers, leading to premature opening of the broadcast link. When the bypassed packets finally arrive, they are inadvertently accepted, and the already correctly initialized acknowledge number in the broadcast receive link is overwritten by the invalid (zero) value of the said packets. After this the broadcast link goes stale. We now fix this by marking the packets where we know the acknowledge value is or may be invalid, and then ignoring the acks from those. To this purpose, we claim an unused bit in the header to indicate that the value is invalid. We set the bit to 1 in the initial BCAST_PROTOCOL synchronization packet and all initial ("bulk") NAME_DISTRIBUTOR packets, plus those LINK_PROTOCOL packets sent out before the broadcast links are fully synchronized. This minor protocol update is fully backwards compatible. Reported-by:

In a dual bearer configuration, if the second tipc link becomes active while the first link still has pending nametable "bulk" updates, it randomly leads to reset of the second link. When a link is established, the function named_distribute(), fills the skb based on node mtu (allows room for TUNNEL_PROTOCOL) with NAME_DISTRIBUTOR message for each PUBLICATION. However, the function named_distribute() allocates the buffer by increasing the node mtu by INT_H_SIZE (to insert NAME_DISTRIBUTOR). This consumes the space allocated for TUNNEL_PROTOCOL. When establishing the second link, the link shall tunnel all the messages in the first link queue including the "bulk" update. As size of the NAME_DISTRIBUTOR messages while tunnelling, exceeds the link mtu the transmission fails (-EMSGSIZE). Thus, the synch point based on the message count of the tunnel packets is never reached leading to link timeout. In this commit, we adjust the size of name distributor message so that they can be tunnelled. Reviewed-by:

Correct synchronization of the broadcast link at first contact between two nodes is dependent on the assumption that the binding table "bulk" update passes via the same link as the initial broadcast syncronization message, i.e., via the first link that is established. This is not guaranteed in the current implementation. If two link come up very close to each other in time, the "bulk" may quite well pass via the second link, and hence void the guarantee of a correct initial synchronization before the broadcast link is opened. This commit makes two small changes to strengthen this guarantee. 1) We let the second established link occupy slot 1 of the "active_links" array, while the first link will retain slot 0. (This is in reality a cosmetic change, we could just as well keep the current, opposite order) 2) We let the name distributor always use link selector/slot 0 when it sends it binding table updates. The extra traffic bias on the first link caused by this change should be negligible, since binding table updates constitutes a very small fraction of the total traffic. Signed-off-by:

Currently, message sending is performed through a deep call chain, where the node spinlock is grabbed and held during a significant part of the transmission time. This is clearly detrimental to overall throughput performance; it would be better if we could send the message after the spinlock has been released. In this commit, we do instead let the call revert on the stack after the buffer chain has been added to the transmission queue, whereafter clones of the buffers are transmitted to the device layer outside the spinlock scope. As a further step in our effort to separate the roles of the node and link entities we also move the function tipc_link_xmit() to node.c, and rename it to tipc_node_xmit(). Reviewed-by:

struct 'tipc_node' currently contains two arrays for link attributes, one for the link pointers, and one for the usable link MTUs. We now group those into a new struct 'tipc_link_entry', and intoduce one single array consisting of such enties. Apart from being a cosmetic improvement, this is a starting point for the strict master-slave relation between node and link that we will introduce in the following commits. Reviewed-by:

TIPC node hash node table is protected with rcu lock on read side. tipc_node_find() is used to look for a node object with node address through iterating the hash node table. As the entire process of what tipc_node_find() traverses the table is guarded with rcu read lock, it's safe for us. However, when callers use the node object returned by tipc_node_find(), there is no rcu read lock applied. Therefore, this is absolutely unsafe for callers of tipc_node_find(). Now we introduce a reference counter for node structure. Before tipc_node_find() returns node object to its caller, it first increases the reference counter. Accordingly, after its caller used it up, it decreases the counter again. This can prevent a node being used by one thread from being freed by another thread. Reviewed-by:

The TIPC name distributor pushes topology updates to the cluster neighbors. Currently this is done in a unicast manner, and the skb holding the update is cloned for each cluster member. This is unnecessary, as we only modify the destnode field in the header so we change it to do pskb_copy instead. Signed-off-by:

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.

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. Reviewed-by:

If net namespace is supported in tipc, each namespace will be treated as a separate tipc node. Therefore, every namespace must own its private tipc node address. This means the "tipc_own_addr" global variable of node address must be moved to tipc_net structure to satisfy the requirement. It's turned out that users also can assign node address for every namespace. Signed-off-by:

TIPC name table is used to store the mapping relationship between TIPC service name and socket port ID. When tipc supports namespace, it allows users to publish service names only owned by a certain namespace. Therefore, every namespace must have its private name table to prevent service names published to one namespace from being contaminated by other service names in another namespace. Therefore, The name table global variable (ie, nametbl) and its lock must be moved to tipc_net structure, and a parameter of namespace must be added for necessary functions so that they can obtain name table variable defined in tipc_net structure.

Global variables associated with node table are below: - node table list (node_htable) - node hash table list (tipc_node_list) - node table lock (node_list_lock) - node number counter (tipc_num_nodes) - node link number counter (tipc_num_links) To make node table support namespace, above global variables must be moved to tipc_net structure in order to keep secret for different namespaces. As a consequence, these variables are allocated and initialized when namespace is created, and deallocated when namespace is destroyed. After the change, functions associated with these variables have to utilize a namespace pointer to access them. So adding namespace pointer as a parameter of these functions is the major change made in the commit. Signed-off-by:

The node subscribe infrastructure represents a virtual base class, so its users, such as struct tipc_port and struct publication, can derive its implemented functionalities. However, after the removal of struct tipc_port, struct publication is left as its only single user now. So defining an abstract infrastructure for one user becomes no longer reasonable. If corresponding new functions associated with the infrastructure are moved to name_table.c file, the node subscription infrastructure can be removed as well. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by: -

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. Signed-off-by:

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.
