tipc: fix a potential deadlock
Locking dependency detected below possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
T0: tipc_named_rcv() tipc_rcv()
T1: [grab nametble write lock]* [grab node lock]*
T2: tipc_update_nametbl() tipc_node_link_up()
T3: tipc_nodesub_subscribe() tipc_nametbl_publish()
T4: [grab node lock]* [grab nametble write lock]*
The opposite order of holding nametbl write lock and node lock on
above two different paths may result in a deadlock. If we move the
the updating of the name table after link state named out of node
lock, the reverse order of holding locks will be eliminated, and
as a result, the deadlock risk.

tipc: fix bug in multicast congestion handling
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.

tipc: use message to abort connections when losing contact to node
In the current implementation, each 'struct tipc_node' instance keeps
a linked list of those ports/sockets that are connected to the node
represented by that struct. The purpose of this is to let the node
object know which sockets to alert when it loses contact with its peer
node, i.e., which sockets need to have their connections aborted.
This entails an unwanted direct reference from the node structure
back to the port/socket structure, and a need to grab port_lock
when we have to make an upcall to the port. We want to get rid of
this unecessary BH entry point into the socket, and also eliminate
its use of port_lock.
In this commit, we instead let the node struct keep list of "connected
socket" structs, which each represents a connected socket, but is
allocated independently by the node at the moment of connection. If
the node loses contact with its peer node, the list is traversed, and
a "connection abort" message is created for each entry in the list. The
message is sent to it respective connected socket using the ordinary
data path, and the receiving socket aborts its connections upon reception
of the message.
This enables us to get rid of the direct reference from 'struct node' to
´struct port', and another unwanted BH access point to the latter.

tipc: use pseudo message to wake up sockets after link congestion
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.

tipc: make link mtu easily accessible from socket
Message fragmentation is currently performed at link level, inside
the protection of node_lock. This potentially binds up the sending
link structure for a long time, instead of letting it do other tasks,
such as handle reception of new packets.
In this commit, we make the MTUs of each active link become easily
accessible from the socket level, i.e., without taking any spinlock
or dereferencing the target link pointer. This way, we make it possible
to perform fragmentation in the sending socket, before sending the
whole fragment chain to the link for transport.

tipc: rename node create lock to protect node list and hlist
When a node is created, tipc_net_lock read lock is first held and
then node_create_lock is grabbed in order to prevent the same node
from being created and inserted into both node list and hlist twice.
But when we query node from the two node lists, we only hold
tipc_net_lock read lock without grabbing node_create_lock. Obviously
this locking policy is unable to guarantee that the two node lists
are always synchronized especially when the operation of changing
and accessing them occurs in different contexts like currently doing.
Therefore, rename node_create_lock to node_list_lock to protect the
two node lists, that is, whenever node is inserted into them or node
is queried from them, the node_list_lock should be always held. As a
result, tipc_net_lock read lock becomes redundant and then can be
removed from the node query functions.

tipc: remove 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE link protocol messages
The flag 'has_redundant_link' is defined only in RESET and ACTIVATE
protocol messages. Due to an ambiguity in the protocol specification it
is currently also transferred in STATE messages. Its value is used to
initialize a link state variable, 'permit_changeover', which is used
to inhibit futile link failover attempts when it is known that the
peer node has no working links at the moment, although the local node
may still think it has one.
The fact that 'has_redundant_link' incorrectly is read from STATE
messages has the effect that 'permit_changeover' sometimes gets a wrong
value, and permanently blocks any links from being re-established. Such
failures can only occur in in dual-link systems, and are extremely rare.
This bug seems to have always been present in the code.
Furthermore, since commit b4b5610223f17790419b03eaa962b0e3ecf930d7
("tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them"),
the 'permit_changeover' field serves no purpose any more. The task of
enforcing 'lost contact' cycles at both peer endpoints is now taken
by a new mechanism, using the flags WAIT_NODE_DOWN and WAIT_PEER_DOWN
in struct tipc_node to abort unnecessary failover attempts.
We therefore remove the 'has_redundant_link' flag from STATE messages,
as well as the now redundant 'permit_changeover' variable.

tipc: message reassembly using fragment chain
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.

This first phase of node signature support creates the signature,

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.

tipc: Ensure broadcast link re-acquires node after link failure
Fix a bug that can prevent TIPC from sending broadcast messages to a node
if contact with the node is lost and then regained. The problem occurs if
the broadcast link first clears the flag indicating the node is part of the
link's distribution set (when it loses contact with the node), and later
fails to restore the flag (when contact is regained); restoration fails
if contact with the node is regained by implicit unicast link activation
triggered by the arrival of a data message, rather than explicitly by the
arrival of a link activation message.
The broadcast link now uses separate fields to track whether a node is
theoretically capable of receiving broadcast messages versus whether it is
actually part of the link's distribution set. The former member is updated
by the receipt of link protocol messages, which can occur at any time; the
latter member is updated only when contact with the node is gained or lost.
This change also permits the simplification of several conditional
expressions since the broadcast link's "supported" field can now only be
set if there are working links to the associated node.

tipc: Ensure both nodes recognize loss of contact between them
Enhances TIPC to ensure that a node that loses contact with a
neighboring node does not allow contact to be re-established until
it sees that its peer has also recognized the loss of contact.
Previously, nodes that were connected by two or more links could
encounter a situation in which node A would lose contact with node B
on all of its links, purge its name table of names published by B,
and then fail to repopulate those names once contact with B was restored.
This would happen because B was able to re-establish one or more links
so quickly that it never reached a point where it had no links to A --
meaning that B never saw a loss of contact with A, and consequently
didn't re-publish its names to A.
This problem is now prevented by enhancing the cleanup done by TIPC
following a loss of contact with a neighboring node to ensure that
node A ignores all messages sent by B until it receives a LINK_PROTOCOL
message that indicates B has lost contact with A, thereby preventing
the (re)establishment of links between the nodes. The loss of contact
is recognized when a RESET or ACTIVATE message is received that has
a "redundant link exists" field of 0, indicating that B's sending link
endpoint is in a reset state and that B has no other working links.
Additionally, TIPC now suppresses the sending of (most) link protocol
messages to a neighboring node while it is cleaning up after an earlier
loss of contact with that node. This stops the peer node from prematurely
activating its link endpoint, which would prevent TIPC from later
activating its own end. TIPC still allows outgoing RESET messages to
occur during cleanup, to avoid problems if its own node recognizes
the loss of contact first and tries to notify the peer of the situation.
Finally, TIPC now recognizes an impending loss of contact with a peer node
as soon as it receives a RESET message on a working link that is the
peer's only link to the node, and ensures that the link protocol
suppression mentioned above goes into effect right away -- that is,
even before its own link endpoints have failed. This is necessary to
ensure correct operation when there are redundant links between the nodes,
since otherwise TIPC would send an ACTIVATE message upon receiving a RESET
on its first link and only begin suppressing when a RESET on its second
link was received, instead of initiating suppression with the first RESET
message as it needs to.
Note: The reworked cleanup code also eliminates a check that prevented
a link endpoint's discovery object from responding to incoming messages
while stale name table entries are being purged. This check is now
unnecessary and would have slowed down re-establishment of communication
between the nodes in some situations.

tipc: Optimizations to link creation code
Enhances link creation code as follows:
1) Detects illegal attempts to add a requested link earlier in the
link creation process. This prevents TIPC from wasting time
initializing a link object it then throws away, and also eliminates
the code needed to do the throwing away.
2) Passes in the node object associated with the requested link.
This allows TIPC to eliminate a search to locate the node object,
as well as code that attempted to create the node if it doesn't
exist.

tipc: cosmetic - function names are not to be full sentences
Function names like "tipc_node_has_redundant_links" are unweildy
and result in long lines even for simple lines. The "has" doesn't
contribute any value add, so dropping that is a slight step in the
right direction. This is a cosmetic change, basic result of:
for i in `grep -l tipc_node_has_ *` ; do sed -i s/tipc_node_has_/tipc_node_/ $i ; done

tipc: Convert node object array to a hash table
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.

tipc: Split up unified structure of network-related variables
Converts the fields of the global "tipc_net" structure into individual
variables. Since the struct was never referenced as a complete unit,
its existence was pointless. This will facilitate upcoming changes to
TIPC's node table and simpify upcoming relocation of the variables so
they are only visible to the files that actually use them.
This change is essentially cosmetic in nature, and doesn't affect the
operation of TIPC.
