Until now, in filter_connect() when we terminate a connection due to
an error message from peer, we set the socket state to DISCONNECTING.
The socket is notified about this broken connection using EPIPE when

In commit 2d18ac4ba7 ("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.

Static family IDs have never really been used, the only
use case was the workaround I introduced for those users
that assumed their family ID was also their multicast
group ID.
Additionally, because static family IDs would never be
reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively
low ID would only work for built-in families that can be
registered immediately after generic netlink is started,
which is basically only the control family (apart from
the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so
it would reserve those IDs)
Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and
luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned. Move
those workarounds into a few lines of code, and then get

Because of the risk of an excessive number of NACK messages and
retransissions, receivers have until now abstained from sending
broadcast NACKS directly upon detection of a packet sequence number
gap. We have instead relied on such gaps being detected by link
protocol STATE message exchange, something that by necessity delays
such detection and subsequent retransmissions.
With the introduction of unicast NACK transmission and rate control
of retransmissions we can now remove this limitation. We now allow
receiving nodes to send NACKS immediately, while coordinating the
permission to do so among the nodes in order to avoid NACK storms.

As cluster sizes grow, so does the amount of identical or overlapping
broadcast NACKs generated by the packet receivers. This often leads to
'NACK crunches' resulting in huge numbers of redundant retransmissions
of the same packet ranges.
In this commit, we introduce rate control of broadcast retransmissions,
so that a retransmitted range cannot be retransmitted again until after
at least 10 ms. This reduces the frequency of duplicate, redundant
retransmissions by an order of magnitude, while having a significant
positive impact on overall throughput and scalability.

When we send broadcasts in clusters of more 70-80 nodes, we sometimes
see the broadcast link resetting because of an excessive number of
retransmissions. This is caused by a combination of two factors:
1) A 'NACK crunch", where loss of broadcast packets is discovered
and NACK'ed by several nodes simultaneously, leading to multiple
redundant broadcast retransmissions.
2) The fact that the NACKS as such also are sent as broadcast, leading
to excessive load and packet loss on the transmitting switch/bridge.
This commit deals with the latter problem, by moving sending of
broadcast nacks from the dedicated BCAST_PROTOCOL/NACK message type
to regular unicast LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE messages. We allocate 10 unused
bits in word 8 of the said message for this purpose, and introduce a
new capability bit, TIPC_BCAST_STATE_NACK in order to keep the change
backwards compatible.

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.

When a link is attempted woken up after congestion, it uses a different,

This has the effect that the link, and the sending process, sometimes

when it turns out there is not not enough space in its send queue to
host the pending message. This is a waste of CPU cycles.
We now change the function link_prepare_wakeup() to use exactly the same
criteria as tipc_link_xmit(). However, since we are now excluding the
window limit from the wakeup calculation, and the current backlog limit
for the lowest level is too small to house even a single maximum-size
message, we have to expand this limit. We do this by evaluating an
alternative, minimum value during the setting of the importance limits.

In commit 5b7066c3dd ("tipc: stricter filtering of packets in bearer

working state while we are still in the process of shutting them down.
This solution works well, but is limited to only work with L2 media, which
is insufficient with the increasing use of UDP as carrier media.
We now replace this solution with a more generic one, by introducing a
new flag "up" in the generic struct tipc_bearer. This field will be set
and reset at the same locations as with the previous solution, while
the packet filtering is moved to the generic code for the sending side.
On the receiving side, the filtering is still done in media specific
code, but now including the UDP bearer.

After a new receiver peer has been added to the broadcast transmission
link, we allow immediate transmission of new broadcast packets, trusting
that the new peer will not accept the packets until it has received the
previously sent unicast broadcast initialiation message. In the same
way, the sender must not accept any acknowledges until it has itself
received the broadcast initialization from the peer, as well as
confirmation of the reception of its own initialization message.
Furthermore, when a receiver peer goes down, the sender has to produce
the missing acknowledges from the lost peer locally, in order ensure
correct release of the buffers that were expected to be acknowledged by
the said peer.
In a highly stressed system we have observed that contact with a peer
may come up and be lost before the above mentioned broadcast initial-
ization and confirmation have been received. This leads to the locally
produced acknowledges being rejected, and the non-acknowledged buffers
to linger in the broadcast link transmission queue until it fills up
and the link goes into permanent congestion.
In this commit, we remedy this by temporarily setting the corresponding
broadcast receive link state to ESTABLISHED and the 'bc_peer_is_up'
state to true before we issue the local acknowledges. This ensures that
those acknowledges will always be accepted. The mentioned state values
are restored immediately afterwards when the link is reset.

At first contact between two nodes, an endpoint might sometimes have
time to send out a LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE packet before it has received
the broadcast initialization packet from the peer, i.e., before it has
received a valid broadcast packet number to add to the 'bc_ack' field
of the protocol message.
This means that the peer endpoint will receive a protocol packet with an
invalid broadcast acknowledge value of 0. Under unlucky circumstances
this may lead to the original, already received acknowledge value being
overwritten, so that the whole broadcast link goes stale after a while.
We fix this by delaying the setting of the link field 'bc_peer_is_up'
until we know that the peer really has received our own broadcast
initialization message. The latter is always sent out as the first
unicast message on a link, and always with seqeunce number 1. Because
of this, we only need to look for a non-zero unicast acknowledge value
in the arriving STATE messages, and once that is confirmed we know we
are safe and can set the mentioned field. Before this moment, we must
ignore all broadcast acknowledges from the peer.

the right position of the linearized data area of the latter. This works
well for regular message reception, but during periods of extremely high
load it may happen that an extracted buffer, e.g, a connection probe, is
reversed and forwarded through an external interface while the preceding
extracted message is still unhandled. When this happens, the header or
data area of the preceding message will be partially overwritten by a
MAC header, leading to unpredicatable consequences, such as a link
reset.
We now fix this by ensuring that the msg_reverse() function never
returns a cloned buffer, and that the returned buffer always contains
sufficient valid head and tail room to be forwarded.

We now solve this by passing a buffer queue along with all upcalls where
sk_lock.slock may potentially be held. Response or rejected message
buffers are accumulated into this queue instead of being sent out
directly, and only sent once we know we are safely outside the slock

TIPC based clusters are by default set up with full-mesh link
connectivity between all nodes. Those links are expected to provide
a short failure detection time, by default set to 1500 ms. Because
of this, the background load for neighbor monitoring in an N-node
cluster increases with a factor N on each node, while the overall
monitoring traffic through the network infrastructure increases at
a ~(N * (N - 1)) rate. Experience has shown that such clusters don't
scale well beyond ~100 nodes unless we significantly increase failure
discovery tolerance.
This commit introduces a framework and an algorithm that drastically
reduces this background load, while basically maintaining the original
failure detection times across the whole cluster. Using this algorithm,
background load will now grow at a rate of ~(2 * sqrt(N)) per node, and
at ~(2 * N * sqrt(N)) in traffic overhead. As an example, each node will
now have to actively monitor 38 neighbors in a 400-node cluster, instead
of as before 399.
This "Overlapping Ring Supervision Algorithm" is completely distributed
and employs no centralized or coordinated state. It goes as follows:
- Each node makes up a linearly ascending, circular list of all its N
known neighbors, based on their TIPC node identity. This algorithm
must be the same on all nodes.
- The node then selects the next M = sqrt(N) - 1 nodes downstream from
itself in the list, and chooses to actively monitor those. This is
called its "local monitoring domain".
- It creates a domain record describing the monitoring domain, and
piggy-backs this in the data area of all neighbor monitoring messages
(LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE) leaving that node. This means that all nodes in
the cluster eventually (default within 400 ms) will learn about
its monitoring domain.
- Whenever a node discovers a change in its local domain, e.g., a node
has been added or has gone down, it creates and sends out a new
version of its node record to inform all neighbors about the change.
- A node receiving a domain record from anybody outside its local domain
matches this against its own list (which may not look the same), and
chooses to not actively monitor those members of the received domain
record that are also present in its own list. Instead, it relies on
indications from the direct monitoring nodes if an indirectly
monitored node has gone up or down. If a node is indicated lost, the
receiving node temporarily activates its own direct monitoring towards
that node in order to confirm, or not, that it is actually gone.
- Since each node is actively monitoring sqrt(N) downstream neighbors,
each node is also actively monitored by the same number of upstream
neighbors. This means that all non-direct monitoring nodes normally
will receive sqrt(N) indications that a node is gone.
- A major drawback with ring monitoring is how it handles failures that
cause massive network partitionings. If both a lost node and all its
direct monitoring neighbors are inside the lost partition, the nodes in
the remaining partition will never receive indications about the loss.
To overcome this, each node also chooses to actively monitor some
nodes outside its local domain. Those nodes are called remote domain
"heads", and are selected in such a way that no node in the cluster
will be more than two direct monitoring hops away. Because of this,
each node, apart from monitoring the member of its local domain, will
also typically monitor sqrt(N) remote head nodes.
- As an optimization, local list status, domain status and domain
records are marked with a generation number. This saves senders from
unnecessarily conveying unaltered domain records, and receivers from
performing unneeded re-adaptations of their node monitoring list, such
as re-assigning domain heads.
- As a measure of caution we have added the possibility to disable the
new algorithm through configuration. We do this by keeping a threshold
value for the cluster size; a cluster that grows beyond this value
will switch from full-mesh to ring monitoring, and vice versa when
it shrinks below the value. This means that if the threshold is set to
a value larger than any anticipated cluster size (default size is 32)
the new algorithm is effectively disabled. A patch set for altering the
threshold value and for listing the table contents will follow shortly.
- This change is fully backwards compatible.

The node keepalive interval is recalculated at each timer expiration
to catch any changes in the link tolerance, and stored in a field in
struct tipc_node. We use jiffies as unit for the stored value.
This is suboptimal, because it makes the calculation unnecessary
complex, including two unit conversions. The conversions also lead to
a rounding error that causes the link "abort limit" to be 3 in the
normal case, instead of 4, as intended. This again leads to unnecessary
link resets when the network is pushed close to its limit, e.g., in an
environment with hundreds of nodes or namesapces.
In this commit, we do instead let the keepalive value be calculated and
stored in milliseconds, so that there is only one conversion and the
rounding error is eliminated.
We also remove a redundant "keepalive" field in struct tipc_link. This
is remnant from the previous implementation.

commit 88e8ac7000 ("tipc: reduce transmission rate of reset messages
when link is down") revealed a flaw in the node FSM, as defined in
the log of commit 66996b6c47 ("tipc: extend node FSM").
We see the following scenario:
1: Node B receives a RESET message from node A before its link endpoint
is fully up, i.e., the node FSM is in state SELF_UP_PEER_COMING. This
event will not change the node FSM state, but the (distinct) link FSM
will move to state RESETTING.
2: As an effect of the previous event, the local endpoint on B will
declare node A lost, and post the event SELF_DOWN to the its node
FSM. This moves the FSM state to SELF_DOWN_PEER_LEAVING, meaning
that no messages will be accepted from A until it receives another
RESET message that confirms that A's endpoint has been reset. This
is wasteful, since we know this as a fact already from the first
received RESET, but worse is that the link instance's FSM has not
wasted this information, but instead moved on to state ESTABLISHING,
meaning that it repeatedly sends out ACTIVATE messages to the reset
peer A.
3: Node A will receive one of the ACTIVATE messages, move its link FSM
to state ESTABLISHED, and start repeatedly sending out STATE messages
to node B.
4: Node B will consistently drop these messages, since it can only accept
accept a RESET according to its node FSM.
5: After four lost STATE messages node A will reset its link and start
repeatedly sending out RESET messages to B.
6: Because of the reduced send rate for RESET messages, it is very
likely that A will receive an ACTIVATE (which is sent out at a much
higher frequency) before it gets the chance to send a RESET, and A
may hence quickly move back to state ESTABLISHED and continue sending
out STATE messages, which will again be dropped by B.
7: GOTO 5.
8: After having repeated the cycle 5-7 a number of times, node A will
by chance get in between with sending a RESET, and the situation is
resolved.
Unfortunately, we have seen that it may take a substantial amount of
time before this vicious loop is broken, sometimes in the order of
minutes.
We correct this by making a small correction to the node FSM: When a
node in state SELF_UP_PEER_COMING receives a SELF_DOWN event, it now
moves directly back to state SELF_DOWN_PEER_DOWN, instead of as now
SELF_DOWN_PEER_LEAVING. This is logically consistent, since we don't
need to wait for RESET confirmation from of an endpoint that we alread
know has been reset. It also means that node B in the scenario above
will not be dropping incoming STATE messages, and the link can come up
immediately.
Finally, a symmetry comparison reveals that the FSM has a similar
error when receiving the event PEER_DOWN in state PEER_UP_SELF_COMING.
Instead of moving to PERR_DOWN_SELF_LEAVING, it should move directly
to SELF_DOWN_PEER_DOWN. Although we have never seen any negative effect
of this logical error, we choose fix this one, too.
The node FSM looks as follows after those changes:

When an ACTIVATE or data packet is received in a link in state
ESTABLISHING, the link does not immediately change state to
ESTABLISHED, but does instead return a LINK_UP event to the caller,
which will execute the state change in a different lock context.
This non-atomic approach incurs a low risk that we may have two
LINK_UP events pending simultaneously for the same link, resulting
in the final part of the setup procedure being executed twice. The
only potential harm caused by this it that we may see two LINK_UP
events issued to subsribers of the topology server, something that
may cause confusion.
This commit eliminates this risk by checking if the link is already
up before proceeding with the second half of the setup.

There are two flow control mechanisms in TIPC; one at link level that
handles network congestion, burst control, and retransmission, and one
at connection level which' only remaining task is to prevent overflow
in the receiving socket buffer. In TIPC, the latter task has to be
solved end-to-end because messages can not be thrown away once they
have been accepted and delivered upwards from the link layer, i.e, we
can never permit the receive buffer to overflow.
Currently, this algorithm is message based. A counter in the receiving
socket keeps track of number of consumed messages, and sends a dedicated
acknowledge message back to the sender for each 256 consumed message.
A counter at the sending end keeps track of the sent, not yet
acknowledged messages, and blocks the sender if this number ever reaches
512 unacknowledged messages. When the missing acknowledge arrives, the
socket is then woken up for renewed transmission. This works well for
keeping the message flow running, as it almost never happens that a
sender socket is blocked this way.
A problem with the current mechanism is that it potentially is very
memory consuming. Since we don't distinguish between small and large
messages, we have to dimension the socket receive buffer according
to a worst-case of both. I.e., the window size must be chosen large
enough to sustain a reasonable throughput even for the smallest
messages, while we must still consider a scenario where all messages
are of maximum size. Hence, the current fix window size of 512 messages
and a maximum message size of 66k results in a receive buffer of 66 MB
when truesize(66k) = 131k is taken into account. It is possible to do
much better.
This commit introduces an algorithm where we instead use 1024-byte
blocks as base unit. This unit, always rounded upwards from the
actual message size, is used when we advertise windows as well as when
we count and acknowledge transmitted data. The advertised window is
based on the configured receive buffer size in such a way that even
the worst-case truesize/msgsize ratio always is covered. Since the
smallest possible message size (from a flow control viewpoint) now is
1024 bytes, we can safely assume this ratio to be less than four, which
is the value we are now using.
This way, we have been able to reduce the default receive buffer size
from 66 MB to 2 MB with maintained performance.
In order to keep this solution backwards compatible, we introduce a
new capability bit in the discovery protocol, and use this throughout
the message sending/reception path to always select the right unit.

atomic_set(&tsk->dupl_rcvcnt, 0);
with
if (sk->sk_backlog.len)
atomic_set(&tsk->dupl_rcvcnt, 0);
This effectively disables the compensation we have for the double
receive buffer accounting that occurs temporarily when buffers are
moved from the backlog to the socket receive queue. Until now, this
has gone unnoticed because of the large receive buffer limits we are
applying, but becomes indispensable when we reduce this buffer limit
later in this series.
We now fix this by inverting the mentioned condition.

We have observed complete lock up of broadcast-link transmission due to
unacknowledged packets never being removed from the 'transmq' queue. This
is traced to nodes having their ack field set beyond the sequence number
of packets that have actually been transmitted to them.
Consider an example where node 1 has sent 10 packets to node 2 on a
link and node 3 has sent 20 packets to node 2 on another link. We
see examples of an ack from node 2 destined for node 3 being treated as
an ack from node 2 at node 1. This leads to the ack on the node 1 to node
2 link being increased to 20 even though we have only sent 10 packets.
When node 1 does get around to sending further packets, none of the
packets with sequence numbers less than 21 are actually removed from the
transmq.
To resolve this we reinstate some code lost in commit d999297c3d ("tipc:
reduce locking scope during packet reception") which ensures that only
messages destined for the receiving node are processed by that node. This
prevents the sequence numbers from getting out of sync and resolves the
packet leakage, thereby resolving the broadcast-link transmission
lock-ups we observed.
While we are aware that this change only patches over a root problem that
we still haven't identified, this is a sanity test that it is always
legitimate to do. It will remain in the code even after we identify and
fix the real problem.

When a link is down, it will continuously try to re-establish contact
with the peer by sending out a RESET or an ACTIVATE message at each
timeout interval. The default value for this interval is currently
375 ms. This is wasteful, and may become a problem in very large
clusters with dozens or hundreds of nodes being down simultaneously.
We now introduce a simple backoff algorithm for these cases. The
first five messages are sent at default rate; thereafter a message
is sent only each 16th timer interval.
This will cover the vast majority of link recycling cases, since the
endpoint starting last will transmit at the higher speed, and the link
should normally be established well be before the rate needs to be
reduced.
The only case where we will see a degradation of link re-establishment
times is when the endpoints remain intact, and a glitch in the
transmission media is causing the link reset. We will then experience
a worst-case re-establishing time of 6 seconds, something we deem
acceptable.

When a link endpoint is going down locally, e.g., because its interface
is being stopped, it will spontaneously send out a RESET message to
its peer, informing it about this fact. This saves the peer from
detecting the failure via probing, and hence gives both speedier and
less resource consuming failure detection on the peer side.
According to the link FSM, a receiver of a RESET message, ignoring the
reason for it, must now consider the sender ready to come back up, and
starts periodically sending out ACTIVATE messages to the peer in order
to re-establish the link. Also, according to the FSM, the receiver of
an ACTIVATE message can now go directly to state ESTABLISHED and start
sending regular traffic packets. This is a well-proven and robust FSM.
However, in the case of a reboot, there is a small possibilty that link
endpoint on the rebooted node may have been re-created with a new bearer
identity between the moment it sent its (pre-boot) RESET and the moment
it receives the ACTIVATE from the peer. The new bearer identity cannot
be known by the peer according to this scenario, since traffic headers
don't convey such information. This is a problem, because both endpoints
need to know the correct value of the peer's bearer id at any moment in
time in order to be able to produce correct link events for their users.
The only way to guarantee this is to enforce a full setup message
exchange (RESET + ACTIVATE) even after the reboot, since those messages
carry the bearer idientity in their header.
In this commit we do this by introducing and setting a "stopping" bit in
the header of the spontaneously generated RESET messages, informing the
peer that the sender will not be immediately ready to re-establish the
link. A receiver seeing this bit must act as if this were a locally
detected connectivity failure, and hence has to go through a full two-
way setup message exchange before any link can be re-established.
Although never reported, this problem seems to have always been around.
This protocol addition is fully backwards compatible.

Until now, the requests sent to topology server are queued
to a workqueue by the generic server framework.
These messages are processed by worker threads and trigger the
registered callbacks.
To reduce latency on uniprocessor systems, explicit rescheduling
is performed using cond_resched() after MAX_RECV_MSG_COUNT(25)
messages.
This implementation on SMP systems leads to an subscriber refcnt
error as described below:
When a worker thread yields by calling cond_resched() in a SMP
system, a new worker is created on another CPU to process the
pending workitem. Sometimes the sleeping thread wakes up before
the new thread finishes execution.
This breaks the assumption on ordering and being single threaded.
The fault is more frequent when MAX_RECV_MSG_COUNT is lowered.
If the first thread was processing subscription create and the
second thread processing close(), the close request will free
the subscriber and the create request oops as follows:

In this commit, we
- rename tipc_conn_shutdown() to tipc_conn_release().
- move connection release callback execution from tipc_close_conn()
to a new function tipc_sock_release(), which is executed before
we free the connection.
Thus we release the subscriber during connection release procedure
rather than connection shutdown procedure.

Nametable updates received from the network that cannot be applied
immediately are placed on a defer queue. This queue is global to the
TIPC module, which might cause problems when using TIPC in containers.
To prevent nametable updates from escaping into the wrong namespace,
we make the queue pernet instead.

Resetting a bearer/interface, with the consequence of resetting all its
pertaining links, is not an atomic action. This becomes particularly
evident in very large clusters, where a lot of traffic may happen on the
remaining links while we are busy shutting them down. In extreme cases,
we may even see links being re-created and re-established before we are
finished with the job.
To solve this, we now introduce a solution where we temporarily detach
the bearer from the interface when the bearer is reset. This inhibits
all packet reception, while sending still is possible. For the latter,
we use the fact that the device's user pointer now is zero to filter out
which packets can be sent during this situation; i.e., outgoing RESET
messages only. This filtering serves to speed up the neighbors'
detection of the loss event, and saves us from unnecessary probing.

When enabling a bearer we create a 'neigbor discoverer' instance by
calling the function tipc_disc_create() before the bearer is actually
registered in the list of enabled bearers. Because of this, the very
first discovery broadcast message, created by the mentioned function,
is lost, since it cannot find any valid bearer to use. Furthermore,
the used send function, tipc_bearer_xmit_skb() does not free the given
buffer when it cannot find a bearer, resulting in the leak of exactly
one send buffer each time a bearer is enabled.
This commit fixes this problem by introducing two changes:
1) Instead of attemting to send the discovery message directly, we let
tipc_disc_create() return the discovery buffer to the calling
function, tipc_enable_bearer(), so that the latter can send it
when the enabling sequence is finished.
2) In tipc_bearer_xmit_skb(), as well as in the two other transmit
functions at the bearer layer, we now free the indicated buffer or
buffer chain when a valid bearer cannot be found.

Until now, we have kept a pre-allocated protocol message header
aggregated into struct tipc_link. Apart from adding unnecessary
footprint to the link instances, this requires extra code both to
initialize and re-initialize it.
We now remove this sub-optimization. This change also makes it
possible to clean up the function tipc_build_proto_msg() and remove
a couple of small functions that were accessing the mentioned header.
In particular, we can replace all occurrences of the local function
call link_own_addr(link) with the generic tipc_own_addr(net).

There is however no protection against a user sending a smaller

In this patch we use nla_memcpy() when copying the user data. This

reverts commit 94153e36e7 ("tipc: use existing sk_write_queue for
outgoing packet chain")
In Commit 94153e36e7, we assume that we fill & empty the socket's
sk_write_queue within the same lock_sock() session.
This is not true if the link is congested. During congestion, the
socket lock is released while we wait for the congestion to cease.
This implementation causes a nullptr exception, if the user space
program has several threads accessing the same socket descriptor.
Consider two threads of the same program performing the following:
Thread1 Thread2
-------------------- ----------------------
Enter tipc_sendmsg() Enter tipc_sendmsg()
lock_sock() lock_sock()
Enter tipc_link_xmit(), ret=ELINKCONG spin on socket lock..
sk_wait_event() :
release_sock() grab socket lock
: Enter tipc_link_xmit(), ret=0
: release_sock()
Wakeup after congestion
lock_sock()
skb = skb_peek(pktchain);
!! TIPC_SKB_CB(skb)->wakeup_pending = tsk->link_cong;
In this case, the second thread transmits the buffers belonging to
both thread1 and thread2 successfully. When the first thread wakeup
after the congestion it assumes that the pktchain is intact and
operates on the skb's in it, which leads to the following exception:

When the TIPC module is unloaded, we have identified a race condition
that allows a node reference counter to go to zero and the node instance
being freed before the node timer is finished with accessing it. This
leads to occasional crashes, especially in multi-namespace environments.
The scenario goes as follows:
CPU0:(node_stop) CPU1:(node_timeout) // ref == 2
1: if(!mod_timer())
2: if (del_timer())
3: tipc_node_put() // ref -> 1
4: tipc_node_put() // ref -> 0
5: kfree_rcu(node);
6: tipc_node_get(node)
7: // BOOM!
We now clean up this functionality as follows:
1) We remove the node pointer from the node lookup table before we
attempt deactivating the timer. This way, we reduce the risk that
tipc_node_find() may obtain a valid pointer to an instance marked
for deletion; a harmless but undesirable situation.
2) We use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() to safely deactivate
the node timer without any risk that it might be reactivated by the
timeout handler. There is no risk of deadlock here, since the two
functions never touch the same spinlocks.
3: We remove a pointless tipc_node_get() + tipc_node_put() from the
timeout handler.

Although we have never seen it happen, we have identified the
following problematic scenario when nodes are stopped and deleted:
CPU0: CPU1:
tipc_node_xxx() //ref == 1
tipc_node_put() //ref -> 0
tipc_node_find() // node still in table
tipc_node_delete()
list_del_rcu(n. list)
tipc_node_get() //ref -> 1, bad
kfree_rcu()
tipc_node_put() //ref to 0 again.
kfree_rcu() // BOOM!
We fix this by introducing use of the conditional kref_get_if_not_zero()
instead of kref_get() in the function tipc_node_find(). This eliminates
any risk of post-mortem access.

In commit 5266698661 ("tipc: let broadcast packet reception
use new link receive function") we introduced a new per-node
broadcast reception link instance. This link is created at the
moment the node itself is created. Unfortunately, the allocation
is done after the node instance has already been added to the node
lookup hash table. This creates a potential race condition, where
arriving broadcast packets are able to find and access the node
before it has been fully initialized, and before the above mentioned
link has been created. The result is occasional crashes in the function
tipc_bcast_rcv(), which is trying to access the not-yet existing link.
We fix this by deferring the addition of the node instance until after
it has been fully initialized in the function tipc_node_create().

Until now, during subscription creation the mod_time() &
tipc_subscrb_get() are called after releasing the subscriber
spin lock.
In a SMP system when performing a subscription creation, if the
subscription timeout occurs simultaneously (the timer is
scheduled to run on another CPU) then the timer thread
might decrement the subscribers refcount before the create
thread increments the refcount.
This can be simulated by creating subscription with timeout=0 and
sometimes the timeout occurs before the create request is complete.

Until now, while creating a subscription the subscriber lock
protects only the subscribers subscription list and not the
nametable. The call to tipc_nametbl_subscribe() is outside
the lock. However, at subscription timeout and cancel both
the subscribers subscription list and the nametable are
protected by the subscriber lock.
This asymmetric locking mechanism leads to the following problem:
In a SMP system, the timer can be fire on another core before
the create request is complete.
When the timer thread calls tipc_nametbl_unsubscribe() before create
thread calls tipc_nametbl_subscribe(), we get a nullptr exception.
This can be simulated by creating subscription with timeout=0 and
sometimes the timeout occurs before the create request is complete.

Until now, the subscribers endianness for a subscription
create/cancel request is determined as:
swap = !(s->filter & (TIPC_SUB_PORTS | TIPC_SUB_SERVICE))
The checks are performed only for port/service subscriptions.
The swap calculation is incorrect if the filter in the subscription
cancellation request is set to TIPC_SUB_CANCEL (it's a malformed
cancel request, as the corresponding subscription create filter
is missing).
Thus, the check if the request is for cancellation fails and the
request is treated as a subscription create request. The
subscription creation fails as the request is illegal, which
terminates this connection.
In this commit we determine the endianness by including
TIPC_SUB_CANCEL, which will set swap correctly and the
request is processed as a cancellation request.

Changing certain link attributes (link tolerance and link priority)
from the TIPC management tool is supposed to automatically take
effect at both endpoints of the affected link.
Currently the media address is not instantiated for the link and is
used uninstantiated when crafting protocol messages designated for the
peer endpoint. This means that changing a link property currently
results in the property being changed on the local machine but the
protocol message designated for the peer gets lost. Resulting in
property discrepancy between the endpoints.
In this patch we resolve this by using the media address from the
link entry and using the bearer transmit function to send it. Hence,
we can now eliminate the redundant function tipc_link_prot_xmit() and

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.

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+ %

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.

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.

Until now, we have been keeping track of the exact set of broadcast

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.

Furthermore, we let each unicast link instance keep a reference to both

This makes it possible for the unicast links to easily access data for

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.

The broadcast link instance (struct tipc_link) used for sending is
currently aggregated into struct tipc_bclink. This means that we cannot
use the regular tipc_link_create() function for initiating the link, but
do instead have to initiate numerous fields directly from the
bcast_init() function.
We want to reduce dependencies between the broadcast functionality
and the inner workings of tipc_link. In this commit, we introduce
a new function tipc_bclink_create() to link.c, and allocate the
instance of the link separately using this function.

In reality, the link implementation is already independent from
struct tipc_bearer, in that it doesn't store any reference to it.
However, we still pass on a pointer to a bearer instance in the
function tipc_link_create(), just to have it extract some
initialization information from it.
I later commits, we need to create instances of tipc_link without
having any associated struct tipc_bearer. To facilitate this, we
want to extract the initialization data already in the creator
function in node.c, before calling tipc_link_create(), and pass
this info on as individual parameters in the call.
This commit introduces this change.

The broadcast transmission link is currently instantiated when the
network subsystem is started, i.e., on order from user space via netlink.
This forces the broadcast transmission code to do unnecessary tests for
the existence of the transmission link, as well in single mode node as
in network mode.
In this commit, we do instead create the link during initialization of
the name space, and remove it when it is stopped. The fact that the
transmission link now has a guaranteed longer life cycle than any of its
potential clients paves the way for further code simplifcations
and optimizations.

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.

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.
