One aim of commit 50100a5e39461b2a61d6040e73c384766c29975d ("tipc:
use pseudo message to wake up sockets after link congestion") was
to handle link congestion abatement in a uniform way for both unicast
and multicast transmit. However, the latter doesn't work correctly,
and has been broken since the referenced commit was applied.

If a user now sends a burst of multicast messages that is big
enough to cause broadcast link congestion, it will be put to sleep,
and not be waked up when the congestion abates as it should be.

This has two reasons. First, the flag that is used, TIPC_WAKEUP_USERS,
is set correctly, but in the wrong field. Instead of setting it in the
'action_flags' field of the arrival node struct, it is by mistake set
in the dummy node struct that is owned by the broadcast link, where it
will never tested for. Second, we cannot use the same flag for waking
up unicast and multicast users, since the function tipc_node_unlock()
needs to pick the wakeup pseudo messages to deliver from different
queues. It must hence be able to distinguish between the two cases.

This commit solves this problem by adding a new flag
TIPC_WAKEUP_BCAST_USERS, and a new function tipc_bclink_wakeup_user().
The latter is to be called by tipc_node_unlock() when the named flag,
now set in the correct field, is encountered.

v2: using explicit 'unsigned int' declaration instead of 'uint', as
per comment from David Miller.

We add a new broadcast link transmit function in bclink.c and a new
receive function in socket.c. The purpose is to move the branching
between external and internal destination down to the link layer,
just as we have done with unicast in earlier commits. We also make
use of the new link-independent fragmentation support that was
introduced in an earlier commit series.

This gives a shorter and simpler code path, and makes it possible
to obtain copy-free buffer delivery to all node local destination
sockets.

The new transmission code is added in parallel with the existing one,
and will be used by the socket multicast send function in the next
commit in this series.

The node map variable - 'nodes' in bearer structure is only used by
bclink. When bclink accesses it, bc_lock is held. But when change it,
for instance, in tipc_bearer_add_dest() or tipc_bearer_remove_dest()
the bc_lock is not taken at all. To avoid any inconsistent data, we
should always grab bc_lock while accessing node map variable.

7a54d4a99dcbbfdf1d4550faa19b615091137953 27-Oct-2011 Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> tipc: Major redesign of broadcast link ACK/NACK algorithms

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.

Fixes oversight that allowed broadcast link node map to be updated without
first taking the broadcast link spinlock that protects the map. As part
of this fix the node map has been incorporated into the broadcast link

Creates global variables to hold the broadcast link's pseudo-bearer and
pseudo-link structures, rather than allocating them dynamically. There
is only a single instance of each structure, and changing over to static
allocation allows elimination of code to handle the cases where dynamic
allocation was unsuccessful.

The memset in the teardown code may look like they aren't used, but
the same teardown code is run when there is a non-fatal error at
init-time, so that stale data isn't present when the user fixes the
cause of the soft error.
