2015-03-25tipc: fix a link reset issue due to retransmission failuresYing Xue1-3/+5
When a node joins a cluster while we are transmitting a fragment stream over the broadcast link, it's missing the preceding fragments needed to build a meaningful message. As a result, the node has to drop it. However, as the fragment message is not acknowledged to its sender before it's dropped, it accidentally causes link reset of retransmission failure on the node.

2015-03-14tipc: clean up handling of message prioritiesJon Paul Maloy1-1/+0
Messages transferred by TIPC are assigned an "importance priority", -an integer value indicating how to treat the message when there is link or destination socket congestion. There is no separate header field for this value. Instead, the message user values have been chosen in ascending order according to perceived importance, so that the message user field can be used for this. This is not a good solution. First, we have many more users than the needed priority levels, so we end up with treating more priority levels than necessary. Second, the user field cannot always accurately reflect the priority of the message. E.g., a message fragment packet should really have the priority of the enveloped user data message, and not the priority of the MSG_FRAGMENTER user. Until now, we have been working around this problem in different ways, but it is now time to implement a consistent way of handling such priorities, although still within the constraint that we cannot allocate any more bits in the regular data message header for this. In this commit, we define a new priority level, TIPC_SYSTEM_IMPORTANCE, that will be the only one used apart from the four (lower) user data levels. All non-data messages map down to this priority. Furthermore, we take some free bits from the MSG_FRAGMENTER header and allocate them to store the priority of the enveloped message. We then adjust the functions msg_importance()/msg_set_importance() so that they read/set the correct header fields depending on user type. This small protocol change is fully compatible, because the code at the receiving end of a link currently reads the importance level only from user data messages, where there is no change.

2015-03-14tipc: split link outqueueJon Paul Maloy1-28/+20
struct tipc_link contains one single queue for outgoing packets, where both transmitted and waiting packets are queued. This infrastructure is hard to maintain, because we need to keep a number of fields to keep track of which packets are sent or unsent, and the number of packets in each category. A lot of code becomes simpler if we split this queue into a transmission queue, where sent/unacknowledged packets are kept, and a backlog queue, where we keep the not yet sent packets. In this commit we do this separation.

2015-03-14tipc: eliminate unnecessary call to broadcast ack functionJon Paul Maloy1-0/+4
The unicast packet header contains a broadcast acknowledge sequence number, that may need to be conveyed to the broadcast link for proper treatment. Currently, the function tipc_rcv(), which is on the most critical data path, calls the function tipc_bclink_acknowledge() to have this done. This call is made for each received packet, and results in the unconditional grabbing of the broadcast link spinlock. This is unnecessary, since we can see directly from tipc_rcv() if the acknowledged number differs from what has been previously acked from the node in question. In the vast majority of cases the numbers won't differ, and there is nothing to update. We now make the call to tipc_bclink_acknowledge() conditional to that the two ack values differ.

2015-02-05tipc: eliminate race condition at multicast receptionJon Paul Maloy1-22/+35
In a previous commit in this series we resolved a race problem during unicast message reception. Here, we resolve the same problem at multicast reception. We apply the same technique: an input queue serializing the delivery of arriving buffers. The main difference is that here we do it in two steps. First, the broadcast link feeds arriving buffers into the tail of an arrival queue, which head is consumed at the socket level, and where destination lookup is performed. Second, if the lookup is successful, the resulting buffer clones are fed into a second queue, the input queue. This queue is consumed at reception in the socket just like in the unicast case. Both queues are protected by the same lock, -the one of the input queue. Reviewed-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-02-05tipc: simplify socket multicast receptionJon Paul Maloy1-48/+1
The structure 'tipc_port_list' is used to collect port numbers representing multicast destination socket on a receiving node. The list is not based on a standard linked list, and is in reality optimized for the uncommon case that there are more than one multicast destinations per node. This makes the list handling unecessarily complex, and as a consequence, even the socket multicast reception becomes more complex. In this commit, we replace 'tipc_port_list' with a new 'struct tipc_plist', which is based on a standard list. We give the new list stack (push/pop) semantics, someting that simplifies the implementation of the function tipc_sk_mcast_rcv().

2015-02-05tipc: resolve race problem at unicast message receptionJon Paul Maloy1-9/+11
TIPC handles message cardinality and sequencing at the link layer, before passing messages upwards to the destination sockets. During the upcall from link to socket no locks are held. It is therefore possible, and we see it happen occasionally, that messages arriving in different threads and delivered in sequence still bypass each other before they reach the destination socket. This must not happen, since it violates the sequentiality guarantee. We solve this by adding a new input buffer queue to the link structure. Arriving messages are added safely to the tail of that queue by the link, while the head of the queue is consumed, also safely, by the receiving socket. Sequentiality is secured per socket by only allowing buffers to be dequeued inside the socket lock. Since there may be multiple simultaneous readers of the queue, we use a 'filter' parameter to reduce the risk that they peek the same buffer from the queue, hence also reducing the risk of contention on the receiving socket locks. This solves the sequentiality problem, and seems to cause no measurable performance degradation. A nice side effect of this change is that lock handling in the functions tipc_rcv() and tipc_bcast_rcv() now becomes uniform, something that will enable future simplifications of those functions.

2015-02-05tipc: reduce usage of context info in socket and linkJon Paul Maloy1-2/+5
The most common usage of namespace information is when we fetch the own node addess from the net structure. This leads to a lot of passing around of a parameter of type 'struct net *' between functions just to make them able to obtain this address. However, in many cases this is unnecessary. The own node address is readily available as a member of both struct tipc_sock and tipc_link, and can be fetched from there instead. The fact that the vast majority of functions in socket.c and link.c anyway are maintaining a pointer to their respective base structures makes this option even more compelling. In this commit, we introduce the inline functions tsk_own_node() and link_own_node() to make it easy for functions to fetch the node address from those structs instead of having to pass along and dereference the namespace struct. In particular, we make calls to the msg_xx() functions in msg.{h,c} context independent by directly passing them the own node address as parameter when needed. Those functions should be regarded as leaves in the code dependency tree, and it is hence desirable to keep them namspace unaware. Apart from a potential positive effect on cache behavior, these changes make it easier to introduce the changes that will follow later in this series.

In commit 58dc55f25631178ee74cd27185956a8f7dcb3e32 ("tipc: use generic SKB list APIs to manage link transmission queue") we replace all list traversal loops with the macros skb_queue_walk() or skb_queue_walk_safe(). While the previous loops were based on the assumption that the list was NULL-terminated, the standard macros stop when the iterator reaches the list head, which is non-NULL. In the function bclink_retransmit_pkt() this macro replacement has lead to a bug. When we receive a BCAST STATE_MSG we unconditionally call the function bclink_retransmit_pkt(), whether there really is anything to retransmit or not, assuming that the sequence number comparisons will lead to the correct behavior. However, if the transmission queue is empty, or if there are no eligible buffers in the transmission queue, we will by mistake pass the list head pointer to the function tipc_link_retransmit(). Since the list head is not a valid sk_buff, this leads to a crash. In this commit we fix this by only calling tipc_link_retransmit() if we actually found eligible buffers in the transmission queue.

2014-10-07tipc: fix bug in multicast congestion handlingJon Maloy1-1/+13
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.

2014-08-23tipc: use pseudo message to wake up sockets after link congestionJon Paul Maloy1-3/+4
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.

2014-07-16tipc: ensure sequential message delivery across dual bearersJon Paul Maloy1-12/+5
When we run broadcast packets over dual bearers/interfaces, the current transmission code is flipping bearers between each sent packet, with the purpose of leveraging the double bandwidth available. The receiving bclink is resequencing the packets if needed, so all messages are delivered upwards from the broadcast link in the correct order, even if they may arrive in concurrent interrupts. However, at the moment of delivery upwards to the socket, we release all spinlocks (bclink_lock, node_lock), so it is still possible that arriving messages bypass each other before they reach the socket queue. We fix this by applying the same technique we are using for unicast traffic. We use a link selector (i.e., the last bit of sending port number) to ensure that messages from the same sender socket always are sent over the same bearer. This guarantees sequential delivery between socket pairs, which is sufficient to satisfy the protocol spec, as well as all known user requirements.

2014-05-14tipc: rename and move message reassembly functionJon Paul Maloy1-7/+3
The function tipc_link_frag_rcv() is in reality a re-entrant generic message reassemby function that has nothing in particular to do with the link, where it is defined now. This becomes obvious when we see the need to call the function from other places in the code. In this commit rename it to tipc_buf_append() and move it to the file msg.c. We also simplify its signature by moving the tail pointer to the control block of the head buffer, hence making the head buffer self-contained.

2014-04-22tipc: purge tipc_net_lock lockYing Xue1-4/+2
Now tipc routing hierarchy comprises the structures 'node', 'link'and 'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big read/write lock, tipc_net_lock, to ensure that nothing is added or removed while code is accessing any of these structures. Obviously the locking policy makes node, link and bearer components closely bound together so that their relationship becomes unnecessarily complex. In the worst case, such locking policy not only has a negative influence on performance, but also it's prone to lead to deadlock occasionally. In order o decouple the complex relationship between bearer and node as well as link, the locking policy is adjusted as follows: - Bearer level RTNL lock is used on update side, and RCU is used on read side. Meanwhile, all bearer instances including broadcast bearer are saved into bearer_list array. - Node and link level All node instances are saved into two tipc_node_list and node_htable lists. The two lists are protected by node_list_lock on write side, and they are guarded with RCU lock on read side. All members in node structure including link instances are protected by node spin lock. - The relationship between bearer and node When link accesses bearer, it first needs to find the bearer with its bearer identity from the bearer_list array. When bearer accesses node, it can iterate the node_htable hash list with the node address to find the corresponding node. In the new locking policy, every component has its private locking solution and the relationship between bearer and node is very simple, that is, they can find each other with node address or bearer identity from node_htable hash list or bearer_list array. Until now above all changes have been done, so tipc_net_lock can be removed safely.

2014-04-22tipc: decouple the relationship between bearer and linkYing Xue1-4/+4
Currently on both paths of message transmission and reception, the read lock of tipc_net_lock must be held before bearer is accessed, while the write lock of tipc_net_lock has to be taken before bearer is configured. Although it can ensure that bearer is always valid on the two data paths, link and bearer is closely bound together. So as the part of effort of removing tipc_net_lock, the locking policy of bearer protection will be adjusted as below: on the two data paths, RCU is used, and on the configuration path of bearer, RTNL lock is applied. Now RCU just covers the path of message reception. To make it possible to protect the path of message transmission with RCU, link should not use its stored bearer pointer to access bearer, but it should use the bearer identity of its attached bearer as index to get bearer instance from bearer_list array, which can help us decouple the relationship between bearer and link. As a result, bearer on the path of message transmission can be safely protected by RCU when we access bearer_list array within RCU lock protection.

Now unicast bearer is dynamically allocated and placed into its identity specified slot of bearer_list array. When we search bearer_list array with a bearer identity, the corresponding bearer instance can be found. But broadcast bearer is statically allocated and it is not located in the bearer_list array yet. So we decide to enlarge bearer_list array into MAX_BEARERS + 1 slots, and its last slot stores the broadcast bearer so that the broadcast bearer can be found from bearer_list array with MAX_BEARERS as index.

2014-02-13tipc: remove bearer_lock from tipc_bearer structYing Xue1-1/+0
After the earlier commits ("tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer struct") and ("tipc: introduce new spinlock to protect struct link_req"), there is no longer any need to protect struct link_req or or any link list by use of bearer_lock. Furthermore, we have eliminated the need for using bearer_lock during downcalls (send) from the link to the bearer, since we have ensured that bearers always have a longer life cycle that their associated links, and always contain valid data. So, the only need now for a lock protecting bearers is for guaranteeing consistency of the bearer list itself. For this, it is sufficient, at least for the time being, to continue applying 'net_lockĀ“ in write mode. By removing bearer_lock we also pre-empt introduction of issue b) descibed in the previous commit "tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer struct": "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". Therefore, we now eliminate the bearer_lock spinlock.

2014-02-13tipc: stricter behavior of message reassembly functionJon Paul Maloy1-3/+3
The function tipc_link_recv_fragment(struct sk_buff **buf) currently leaves the value of the input buffer pointer undefined when it returns, except when the return code indicates that the reassembly is complete. This despite the fact that it always consumes the input buffer. Here, we enforce a stricter behavior by this function, ensuring that the returned buffer pointer is non-NULL if and only if the reassembly is complete. This makes it possible to test for the buffer pointer as criteria for successful reassembly. We also rename the function to tipc_link_frag_rcv(), which is both shorter and more in line with common naming practice in the network subsystem. Apart from the new name, these changes have no impact on current users of the function, but makes it more practical for use in some planned future commits.

2013-12-09tipc: remove interface state mirroring in bearerErik Hugne1-6/+0
struct 'tipc_bearer' is a generic representation of the underlying media type, and exists in a one-to-one relationship to each interface TIPC is using. The struct contains a 'blocked' flag that mirrors the operational and execution state of the represented interface, and is updated through notification calls from the latter. The users of tipc_bearer are checking this flag before each attempt to send a packet via the interface. This state mirroring serves no purpose in the current code base. TIPC links will not discover a media failure any faster through this mechanism, and in reality the flag only adds overhead at packet sending and reception. Furthermore, the fact that the flag needs to be protected by a spinlock aggregated into tipc_bearer has turned out to cause a serious and completely unnecessary deadlock problem. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- Time 0: bearer_disable() link_timeout() Time 1: spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock) tipc_link_push_queue() Time 2: tipc_link_delete() tipc_bearer_blocked(b_ptr) Time 3: k_cancel_timer(&req->timer) spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock) Time 4: del_timer_sync(&req->timer) I.e., del_timer_sync() on CPU0 never returns, because the timer handler on CPU1 is waiting for the bearer lock. We eliminate the 'blocked' flag from struct tipc_bearer, along with all tests on this flag. This not only resolves the deadlock, but also simplifies and speeds up the data path execution of TIPC. It also fits well into our ongoing effort to make the locking policy simpler and more manageable. An effect of this change is that we can get rid of functions such as tipc_bearer_blocked(), tipc_continue() and tipc_block_bearer(). We replace the latter with a new function, tipc_reset_bearer(), which resets all links associated to the bearer immediately after an interface goes down. A user might notice one slight change in link behaviour after this change. When an interface goes down, (e.g. through a NETDEV_DOWN event) all attached links will be reset immediately, instead of leaving it to each link to detect the failure through a timer-driven mechanism. We consider this an improvement, and see no obvious risks with the new behavior.

2013-11-07tipc: message reassembly using fragment chainErik Hugne1-4/+8
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.
