tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer struct
In our ongoing effort to simplify the TIPC locking structure,
we see a need to remove the linked list for tipc_links
in the bearer. This can be explained as follows.
Currently, we have three different ways to access a link,
via three different lists/tables:
1: Via a node hash table:
Used by the time-critical outgoing/incoming data paths.
(e.g. link_send_sections_fast() and tipc_recv_msg() ):
grab net_lock(read)
find node from node hash table
grab node_lock
select link
grab bearer_lock
send_msg()
release bearer_lock
release node lock
release net_lock
2: Via a global linked list for nodes:
Used by configuration commands (link_cmd_set_value())
grab net_lock(read)
find node and link from global node list (using link name)
grab node_lock
update link
release node lock
release net_lock
(Same locking order as above. No problem.)
3: Via the bearer's linked link list:
Used by notifications from interface (e.g. tipc_disable_bearer() )
grab net_lock(write)
grab bearer_lock
get link ptr from bearer's link list
get node from link
grab node_lock
delete link
release node lock
release bearer_lock
release net_lock
(Different order from above, but works because we grab the
outer net_lock in write mode first, excluding all other access.)
The first major goal in our simplification effort is to get rid
of the "big" net_lock, replacing it with rcu-locks when accessing
the node list and node hash array. This will come in a later patch
series.
But to get there we first need to rewrite access methods ##2 and 3,
since removal of net_lock would introduce three major problems:
a) In access method #2, we access the link before taking the
protecting node_lock. This will not work once net_lock is gone,
so we will have to change the access order. We will deal with
this in a later commit in this series, "tipc: add node lock
protection to link found by link_find_link()".
b) When the outer protection from net_lock is gone, taking
bearer_lock and node_lock in opposite order of method 1) and 2)
will become an obvious deadlock hazard. This is fixed in the
commit ("tipc: remove bearer_lock from tipc_bearer struct")
later in this series.
c) Similar to what is described in problem a), access method #3
starts with using a link pointer that is unprotected by node_lock,
in order to via that pointer find the correct node struct and
lock it. Before we remove net_lock, this access order must be
altered. This is what we do with this commit.
We can avoid introducing problem problem c) by even here using the
global node list to find the node, before accessing its links. When
we loop though the node list we use the own bearer identity as search
criteria, thus easily finding the links that are associated to the
resetting/disabling bearer. It should be noted that although this
method is somewhat slower than the current list traversal, it is in
no way time critical. This is only about resetting or deleting links,
something that must be considered relatively infrequent events.
As a bonus, we can get rid of the mutual pointers between links and
bearers. After this commit, pointer dependency go in one direction
only: from the link to the bearer.
This commit pre-empts introduction of problem c) as described above.
