Jon Paul Maloy dc8d1eb305 tipc: fix node reference count bug
Commit 5405ff6e15 ("tipc: convert node lock to rwlock")
introduced a bug to the node reference counter handling. When a
message is successfully sent in the function tipc_node_xmit(),
we return directly after releasing the node lock, instead of
continuing and decrementing the node reference counter as we
should do.

This commit fixes this bug.

Ying Xue f4195d1eac tipc: avoid packets leaking on socket receive queue
Even if we drain receive queue thoroughly in tipc_release() after tipc
socket is removed from rhashtable, it is possible that some packets
are in flight because some CPU runs receiver and did rhashtable lookup
before we removed socket. They will achieve receive queue, but nobody
delete them at all. To avoid this leak, we register a private socket
destructor to purge receive queue, meaning releasing packets pending
on receive queue will be delayed until the last reference of tipc
socket will be released.

Jon Paul Maloy 9a65083827 tipc: correct settings of broadcast link state
Since commit 5266698661 ("tipc: let broadcast packet
reception use new link receive function") the broadcast send
link state was meant to always be set to LINK_ESTABLISHED, since
we don't need this link to follow the regular link FSM rules. It
was also the intention that this state anyway shouldn't impact
the run-time working state of the link, since the latter in
reality is controlled by the number of registered peers.

We have now discovered that this assumption is not quite correct.
If the broadcast link is reset because of too many retransmissions,
its state will inadvertently go to LINK_RESETTING, and never go
back to LINK_ESTABLISHED, because the LINK_FAILURE event was not
anticipated. This will work well once, but if it happens a second
time, the reset on a link in LINK_RESETTING has has no effect, and
neither the broadcast link nor the unicast links will go down as
they should.

Furthermore, it is confusing that the management tool shows that
this link is in UP state when that obviously isn't the case.

We now ensure that this state strictly follows the true working
state of the link. The state is set to LINK_ESTABLISHED when
the number of peers is non-zero, and to LINK_RESET otherwise.

Jon Paul Maloy 5405ff6e15 tipc: convert node lock to rwlock
According to the node FSM a node in state SELF_UP_PEER_UP cannot
change state inside a lock context, except when a TUNNEL_PROTOCOL
(SYNCH or FAILOVER) packet arrives. However, the node's individual
links may still change state.

Since each link now is protected by its own spinlock, we finally have
the conditions in place to convert the node spinlock to an rwlock_t.
If the node state and arriving packet type are rigth, we can let the
link directly receive the packet under protection of its own spinlock
and the node lock in read mode. In all other cases we use the node
lock in write mode. This enables full concurrent execution between
parallel links during steady-state traffic situations, i.e., 99+ %
of the time.

This commit implements this change.

Jon Paul Maloy 5c10e97940 tipc: small cleanup of function tipc_node_check_state()
The function tipc_node_check_state() contains the core logics
for handling link synchronization and failover. For this reason,
it is important to keep it as comprehensible as possible.

In this commit, we make three small cleanups.

1) If the node is in state SELF_DOWN_PEER_LEAVING and the received
   packet confirms that the peer has lost contact, there will be no
   further action in this function. To make this clearer, we return
   from the function directly after the state change.

2) Since commit 0f8b8e28fb ("tipc: eliminate risk of stalled
   link synchronization") only the logically first TUNNEL_PROTO/SYNCH
   packet can alter the link state and set the synch point,
   independently of arrival order. Hence, there is not any longer any
   need to adjust the synch value in case such packets arrive in
   disorder. We remove this adjustment.

3) It is the intention that any message arriving on any of the links
   may trig a check for and possible termination of a node SYNCH state.
   A redundant and unnoticed check for tipc_link_is_synching() obviously
   beats this purpose, with the effect that only packets arriving on the
   synching link may currently end the synch state. We remove this check.
   This change will further shorten the synchronization period between
   parallel links.

Jon Paul Maloy c49a0a8439 tipc: ensure binding table initial distribution is sent via first link
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.

Jon Paul Maloy b06b281e79 tipc: simplify bearer level broadcast
Until now, we have been keeping track of the exact set of broadcast
destinations though the help structure tipc_node_map. This leads us to
have to maintain a whole infrastructure for supporting this, including
a pseudo-bearer and a number of functions to manipulate both the bearers
and the node map correctly. Apart from the complexity, this approach is
also limiting, as struct tipc_node_map only can support cluster local
broadcast if we want to avoid it becoming excessively large. We want to
eliminate this limitation, in order to enable introduction of scoped
multicast in the future.

A closer analysis reveals that it is unnecessary maintaining this "full
set" overview; it is sufficient to keep a counter per bearer, indicating
how many nodes can be reached via this bearer at the moment. The protocol
is now robust enough to handle transitional discrepancies between the
nominal number of reachable destinations, as expected by the broadcast
protocol itself, and the number which is actually reachable at the
moment. The initial broadcast synchronization, in conjunction with the
retransmission mechanism, ensures that all packets will eventually be
acknowledged by the correct set of destinations.

This commit introduces these changes.

The code path for receiving broadcast packets is currently distinct
from the unicast path. This leads to unnecessary code and data

We now introduce separate per-peer tipc_link instances for handling

instance.

Furthermore, we let each unicast link instance keep a reference to both
the pertaining broadcast receive link, and to the common send link.
This makes it possible for the unicast links to easily access data for
broadcast link synchronization, as well as for carrying acknowledges for
received broadcast packets.

Jon Paul Maloy c1ab3f1dea tipc: make struct tipc_link generic to support broadcast
Realizing that unicast is just a special case of broadcast, we also see
that we can go in the other direction, i.e., that modest changes to the
current unicast link can make it generic enough to support broadcast.

The following changes are introduced here:

- A new counter ("ackers") in struct tipc_link, to indicate how many
  peers need to ack a packet before it can be released.
- A corresponding counter in the skb user area, to keep track of how
  many peers a are left to ack before a buffer can be released.
- A new counter ("acked"), to keep persistent track of how far a peer
  has acked at the moment, i.e., where in the transmission queue to
  start updating buffers when the next ack arrives. This is to avoid
  double acknowledgements from a peer, with inadvertent relase of
  packets as a result.
- A more generic tipc_link_retrans() function, where retransmit starts
  from a given sequence number, instead of the first packet in the
  transmision queue. This is to minimize the number of retransmitted
  packets on the broadcast media.

When the new functionality is taken into use in the next commits,
we expect it to have minimal effect on unicast mode performance.

Jon Paul Maloy 0043550b0a tipc: move broadcast link lock to struct tipc_net
The broadcast lock will need to be acquired outside bcast.c in a later
commit. For this reason, we move the lock to struct tipc_net. Consistent
with the changes in the previous commit, we also introducee two new
functions tipc_bcast_lock() and tipc_bcast_unlock(). The code that is
currently using tipc_bclink_lock()/unlock() will be phased out during
the coming commits in this series.

Jon Paul Maloy 6beb19a62a tipc: move bcast definitions to bcast.c
Currently, a number of structure and function definitions related
to the broadcast functionality are unnecessarily exposed in the file
bcast.h. This obscures the fact that the external interface towards
the broadcast link in fact is very narrow, and causes unnecessary
recompilations of other files when anything changes in those
definitions.

In this commit, we move as many of those definitions as is currently
possible to the file bcast.c.

We also rename the structure 'tipc_bclink' to 'tipc_bc_base', both
since the name does not correctly describe the contents of this
struct, and will do so even less in the future, and because we want
to use the term 'link' more appropriately in the functionality
introduced later in this series.

Finally, we rename a couple of functions, such as tipc_bclink_xmit()
and others that will be kept in the future, to include the term 'bcast'
instead.

There are no functional changes in this commit.

Jon Paul Maloy e53567948f tipc: conditionally expand buffer headroom over udp tunnel
In commit d999297c3d ("tipc: reduce locking scope during packet reception")
we altered the packet retransmission function. Since then, when
restransmitting packets, we create a clone of the original buffer
using __pskb_copy(skb, MIN_H_SIZE), where MIN_H_SIZE is the size of
the area we want to have copied, but also the smallest possible TIPC
packet size. The value of MIN_H_SIZE is 24.

Unfortunately, __pskb_copy() also has the effect that the headroom
of the cloned buffer takes the size MIN_H_SIZE. This is too small
for carrying the packet over the UDP tunnel bearer, which requires
a minimum headroom of 28 bytes. A change to just use pskb_copy()
lets the clone inherit the original headroom of 80 bytes, but also
assumes that the copied data area is of at least that size, something
that is not always the case. So that is not a viable solution.

We now fix this by adding a check for sufficient headroom in the
transmit function of udp_media.c, and expanding it when necessary.

Jon Paul Maloy 45c8b7b175 tipc: allow non-linear first fragment buffer
The current code for message reassembly is erroneously assuming that
the the first arriving fragment buffer always is linear, and then goes
ahead resetting the fragment list of that buffer in anticipation of
more arriving fragments.

However, if the buffer already happens to be non-linear, we will
inadvertently drop the already attached fragment list, and later
on trig a BUG() in __pskb_pull_tail().

We see this happen when running fragmented TIPC multicast across UDP,
something made possible since
commit d0f91938be ("tipc: add ip/udp media type")

We fix this by not resetting the fragment list when the buffer is non-
linear, and by initiatlizing our private fragment list tail pointer to
the tail of the existing fragment list.

Jon Paul Maloy 53387c4e22 tipc: extend broadcast link window size
The default fix broadcast window size is currently set to 20 packets.
This is a very low value, set at a time when we were still testing on
10 Mb/s hubs, and a change to it is long overdue.

Commit 7845989cb4 ("net: tipc: fix stall during bclink wakeup procedure")
revealed a problem with this low value. For messages of importance LOW,
the backlog queue limit will be  calculated to 30 packets, while a
single, maximum sized message of 66000 bytes, carried across a 1500 MTU
network consists of 46 packets.

This leads to the following scenario (among others leading to the same
situation):

1: Msg 1 of 46 packets is sent. 20 packets go to the transmit queue, 26
   packets to the backlog queue.
2: Msg 2 of 46 packets is attempted sent, but rejected because there is
   no more space in the backlog queue at this level. The sender is added
   to the wakeup queue with a "pending packets chain size" number of 46.
3: Some packets in the transmit queue are acked and released. We try to
   wake up the sender, but the pending size of 46 is bigger than the LOW
   wakeup limit of 30, so this doesn't happen.
5: Subsequent acks releases all the remaining buffers. Each time we test
   for the wakeup criteria and find that 46 still is larger than 30,
   even after both the transmit and the backlog queues are empty.
6: The sender is never woken up and given a chance to send its message.
   He is stuck.

We could now loosen the wakeup criteria (used by link_prepare_wakeup())
to become equal to the send criteria (used by tipc_link_xmit()), i.e.,
by ignoring the "pending packets chain size" value altogether, or we can
just increase the queue limits so that the criteria can be satisfied
anyway. There are good reasons (potentially multiple waiting senders) to
not opt for the former solution, so we choose the latter one.

This commit fixes the problem by giving the broadcast link window a
default value of 50 packets. We also introduce a new minimum link
window size BCLINK_MIN_WIN of 32, which is enough to always avoid the
described situation. Finally, in order to not break any existing users
which may set the window explicitly, we enforce that the window is set
to the new minimum value in case the user is trying to set it to
anything lower.

Jon Paul Maloy c819930090 tipc: update node FSM when peer RESET message is received
The change made in the previous commit revealed a small flaw in the way
the node FSM is updated. When the function tipc_node_link_down() is
called for the last link to a node, we should check whether this was
caused by a local reset or by a received RESET message from the peer.
In the latter case, we can directly issue a PEER_LOST_CONTACT_EVT to
the node FSM, so that it is ready to re-establish contact. If this is
not done, the peer node will sometimes have to go through a second
establish cycle before the link becomes stable.

We fix this in this commit by conditionally issuing the mentioned
event in the function tipc_node_link_down(). We also move LINK_RESET
FSM even away from the link_reset() function and into the caller
function, partially because it is easier to follow the code when state
changes are gathered at a limited number of locations, partially
because there will be cases in future commits where we don't want the
link to go RESET mode when link_reset() is called.

Jon Paul Maloy 282b3a0562 tipc: send out RESET immediately when link goes down
When a link is taken down because of a node local event, such as
disabling of a bearer or an interface, we currently leave it to the
peer node to discover the broken communication. The default time for
such failure discovery is 1.5-2 seconds.

If we instead allow the terminating link endpoint to send out a RESET
message at the moment it is reset, we can achieve the impression that
both endpoints are going down instantly. Since this is a very common
scenario, we find it worthwhile to make this small modification.

Apart from letting the link produce the said message, we also have to
ensure that the interface is able to transmit it before TIPC is
detached. We do this by performing the disabling of a bearer in three
steps:

1) Disable reception of TIPC packets from the interface in question.
2) Take down the links, while allowing them so send out a RESET message.
3) Disable transmission of TIPC packets on the interface.

Apart from this, we now have to react on the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN event,
instead of as currently the NEDEV_DOWN event, to ensure that such
transmission is possible during the teardown phase.

Jon Paul Maloy 73f646cec3 tipc: delay ESTABLISH state event when link is established
Link establishing, just like link teardown, is a non-atomic action, in
the sense that discovering that conditions are right to establish a link,
and the actual adding of the link to one of the node's send slots is done
in two different lock contexts. The link FSM is designed to help bridging
the gap between the two contexts in a safe manner.

We have now discovered a weakness in the implementaton of this FSM.
Because we directly let the link go from state LINK_ESTABLISHING to
state LINK_ESTABLISHED already in the first lock context, we are unable
to distinguish between a fully established link, i.e., a link that has
been added to its slot, and a link that has not yet reached the second
lock context. It may hence happen that a manual intervention, e.g., when
disabling an interface, causes the function tipc_node_link_down() to try
removing the link from the node slots, decrementing its active link
counter etc, although the link was never added there in the first place.

We solve this by delaying the actual state change until we reach the
second lock context, inside the function tipc_node_link_up(). This
makes it possible for potentail callers of __tipc_node_link_down() to
know if they should proceed or not, and the problem is solved.

Unforunately, the situation described above also has a second problem.
Since there by necessity is a tipc_node_link_up() call pending once
the node lock has been released, we must defuse that call by setting
the link back from LINK_ESTABLISHING to LINK_RESET state. This forces
us to make a slight modification to the link FSM, which will now look
as follows.

After the previous commits, we are guaranteed that no packets
of type LINK_PROTOCOL or with illegal sequence numbers will be
attempted added to the link deferred queue. This makes it possible to

We also alter the function so that it will drop packets if one with
the same seqeunce number is already present in the queue. This is
necessary because we have identified weird packet sequences, involving
duplicate packets, where a legitimate in-sequence packet may advance to
the head of the queue without being detected and de-queued.

Finally, we make this function outline, since it will now be called only
in exceptional cases.

Jon Paul Maloy 81204c492b tipc: improve sequence number checking
The sequence number of an incoming packet is currently only checked
for less than, equality to, or bigger than the next expected number,
meaning that the receive window in practice becomes one half sequence
number cycle, or U16_MAX/2. This does not make sense, and may not even
be safe if there are extreme delays in the network. Any packet sent by
the peer during the ongoing cycle must belong inside his current send
window, or should otherwise be dropped if possible.

Since a link endpoint cannot know its peer's current send window, it
has to base this sanity check on a worst-case assumption, i.e., that
the peer is using a maximum sized window of 8191 packets. Using this
assumption, we now add a check that the sequence number is not bigger
than next_expected + TIPC_MAX_LINK_WIN. We also re-order the checks
done, so that the receive window test is performed before the gap test.
This way, we are guaranteed that no packet with illegal sequence numbers
are ever added to the deferred queue.

first, and added to the deferred queue only when a sequence number gap
is discovered. A non-empty deferred queue is walked until it is empty
or until its head's sequence number doesn't fit.

Jon Paul Maloy 9945e8043e tipc: limit usage of temporary skb list during packet reception
During packet reception, the function tipc_link_rcv() adds its accepted
packets to a temporary buffer queue, before finally splicing this queue
into the lock protected input queue that will be delivered up to the
socket layer. The purpose is to reduce potential contention on the input
queue lock. However, since the vast majority of packets arrive in
sequence, they will anyway be added one by one to the input queue, and
the use of the temporary queue becomes a sub-optimization.

The only case where this queue makes sense is when unpacking buffers
from a bundle packet; here we want to avoid dozens of small buffers
to be added individually to the lock-protected input queue in a tight
loop.

In this commit, we remove the general usage of the temporary queue,
and keep it only for the packet unbundling case.

Jon Paul Maloy dde4b5ae65 tipc: move fragment importance field to new header position
In commit e3eea1eb47 ("tipc: clean up handling of message priorities")
we introduced a field in the packet header for keeping track of the
priority of fragments, since this value is not present in the specified
protocol header. Since the value so far only is used at the transmitting
end of the link, we have not yet officially defined it as part of the
protocol.

Unfortunately, the field we use for keeping this value, bits 13-15 in
in word 5, has turned out to be a poor choice; it is already used by the
broadcast protocol for carrying the 'network id' field of the sending
node. Since packet fragments also need to be transported across the
broadcast protocol, the risk of conflict is obvious, and we see this
happen when we use network identities larger than 2^13-1. This has
escaped our testing because we have so far only been using small network
id values.

We now move this field to bits 0-2 in word 9, a field that is guaranteed
to be unused by all involved protocols.

Jon Paul Maloy 0f8b8e28fb tipc: eliminate risk of stalled link synchronization
In commit 6e498158a8 ("tipc: move link synch and failover to link aggregation level")
we introduced a new mechanism for performing link failover and
synchronization. We have now detected a bug in this mechanism.

During link synchronization we use the arrival of any packet on
the tunnel link to trig a check for whether it has reached the
synchronization point or not. This has turned out to be too
permissive, since it may cause an arriving non-last SYNCH packet to
end the synch state, just to see the next SYNCH packet initiate a
new synch state with a new, higher synch point. This is not fatal,
but should be avoided, because it may significantly extend the
synchronization period, while at the same time we are not allowed
to send NACKs if packets are lost. In the worst case, a low-traffic
user may see its traffic stall until a LINK_PROTOCOL state message
trigs the link to leave synchronization state.

At the same time, LINK_PROTOCOL packets which happen to have a (non-
valid) sequence number lower than the tunnel link's rcv_nxt value will
be consistently dropped, and will never be able to resolve the situation
described above.

We fix this by exempting LINK_PROTOCOL packets from the sequence number
check, as they should be. We also reduce (but don't completely
eliminate) the risk of entering multiple synchronization states by only
allowing the (logically) first SYNCH packet to initiate a synchronization
state. This works independently of actual packet arrival order.

The issue occurs only when tipc_sk_rcv() is used to wake up postponed
senders:

	tipc_bclink_wakeup_users()
		// wakeupq - is a queue which consists of special
		// 		 messages with SOCK_WAKEUP type.
		tipc_sk_rcv(wakeupq)
			...
			while (skb_queue_len(inputq)) {
				filter_rcv(skb)
					// Here the type of message is checked
					// and if it is SOCK_WAKEUP then
					// it tries to wake up a sender.
					tipc_write_space(sk)
						wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll()
			}

After the sender thread is woke up it can gather control and perform
an attempt to send a message. But if there is no enough place in send
queue it will call link_schedule_user() function which puts a message
of type SOCK_WAKEUP to the wakeup queue and put the sender to sleep.
Thus the size of the queue actually is not changed and the while()
loop never exits.

The approach I proposed is to wake up only senders for which there is
enough place in send queue so the described issue can't occur.
Moreover the same approach is already used to wake up senders on
unicast links.

I have got into the issue on our product code but to reproduce the
issue I changed a benchmark test application (from
tipcutils/demos/benchmark) to perform the following scenario:
	1. Run 64 instances of test application (nodes). It can be done
	   on the one physical machine.
	2. Each application connects to all other using TIPC sockets in
	   RDM mode.
	3. When setup is done all nodes start simultaneously send
	   broadcast messages.
	4. Everything hangs up.

The issue is reproducible only when a congestion on broadcast link
occurs. For example, when there are only 8 nodes it works fine since
congestion doesn't occur. Send queue limit is 40 in my case (I use a
critical importance level) and when 64 nodes send a message at the
same moment a congestion occurs every time.

Jon Paul Maloy 2be80c2d87 tipc: fix stale link problem during synchronization
Recent changes to the link synchronization means that we can now just
drop packets arriving on the synchronizing link before the synch point
is reached. This has lead to significant simplifications to the
implementation, but also turns out to have a flip side that we need
to consider.

Under unlucky circumstances, the two endpoints may end up
repeatedly dropping each other's packets, while immediately
asking for retransmission of the same packets, just to drop
them once more. This pattern will eventually be broken when
the synch point is reached on the other link, but before that,
the endpoints may have arrived at the retransmission limit
(stale counter) that indicates that the link should be broken.
We see this happen at rare occasions.

The fix for this is to not ask for retransmissions when a link is in
state LINK_SYNCHING. The fact that the link has reached this state
means that it has already received the first SYNCH packet, and that it
knows the synch point. Hence, it doesn't need any more packets until the
other link has reached the synch point, whereafter it can go ahead and
ask for the missing packets.

However, because of the reduced traffic on the synching link that
follows this change, it may now take longer to discover that the
synch point has been reached. We compensate for this by letting all
packets, on any of the links, trig a check for synchronization
termination. This is possible because the packets themselves don't
contain any information that is needed for discovering this condition.
