2012-06-04net: Remove casts to same typeJoe Perches2-6/+5
Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary and confusing for a human reader. For example, this cast: int y; int *p = (int *)&y; I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these unnecessary casts. I manually removed the conversions this script produces of casts with __force and __user. @@ type T; T *p; @@ - (T *)p + p Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-04-30tipc: compress out gratuitous extra carriage returnsPaul Gortmaker32-530/+16
Some of the comment blocks are floating in limbo between two functions, or between blocks of code. Delete the extra line feeds between any comment and its associated following block of code, to be consistent with the majority of the rest of the kernel. Also delete trailing newlines at EOF and fix a couple trivial typos in existing comments. This is a 100% cosmetic change with no runtime impact. We get rid of over 500 lines of non-code, and being blank line deletes, they won't even show up as noise in git blame. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2012-04-27tipc: Reject payload messages with invalid message typeAllan Stephens1-5/+2
Adds check to ensure TIPC sockets reject incoming payload messages that have an unrecognized message type. Remove the old open question about whether TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT is the proper return value. It is appropriate here since there are valid instances where another node can make use of the reply, and at this point in time the host is already broadcasting TIPC data, so there are no real security concerns.

2012-04-26tipc: Enhance error checking of published namesAllan Stephens2-7/+4
Consolidates validation of scope and name sequence range values into a single routine where it applies both to local name publications and to name publications issued by other nodes in the network. This change means that the scope value for non-local publications is now validated and the name sequence range for local publications is now validated only once. Additionally, a publication attempt that fails validation now creates an entry in the system log file only if debugging capabilities have been enabled; this prevents the system log from being cluttered up with messages caused by a defective application or network node.

2012-04-26tipc: Optimize initialization of network topology serviceAllan Stephens1-1/+1

2012-04-26tipc: Enhance re-initialization of network topology serviceAllan Stephens1-3/+0
Streamlines the job of re-initializing TIPC's network topology service when a node's network address is first assigned. Rather than destroying the topology server port and breaking its connections to existing subscribers, TIPC now simply lets the service continue running (since the change to the port identifier of each port used by the topology service no longer impacts the flow of messages between the service and its subscribers). This enhancement means that applications that utilize the topology service prior to the assignment of TIPC's network address no longer need to re-establish their subscriptions when the address is finally assigned. However, it is worth noting that any subsequent events for existing subscriptions report the new port identifier of the publishing port, rather than the original port identifier. (For example, a name that was previously reported as being published by <0.0.0:ref> may be subsequently withdrawn by <Z.C.N:ref>.) This doesn't impact any of the existing known userspace in tipc-utils, since (a) TIPC continues to treat references to the original port ID correctly and (b) normal use cases assign an address before active use. However if there does happen to be some rare/custom application out there that was relying on this, they can simply bypass the enhancement by issuing a subscription to {0,0} and break its connection to the topology service, if an associated withdrawal event occurs.

Enhances command validation done by TIPC's configuration service so that it works properly even if the node's network address is changed in mid-operation.

2012-04-19tipc: take lock while updating node network addressAllan Stephens1-1/+2
The routine that changes the node's network address now takes TIPC's network lock in write mode while the main address variable and associated data structures are being changed; this is needed to ensure that the link subsystem won't attempt to send a message off-node until the sending port's message header template has been updated with the node's new network address.

2012-04-19tipc: Ensure network address change doesn't impact local connectionsAllan Stephens4-31/+34
Revises routines that deal with connections between two ports on the same node to ensure the connection is not impacted if the node's network address is changed in mid-operation. The routines now treat the default node address of <0.0.0> as an alias for "this node" in the following situations: 1) Incoming messages destined to a connected port now handle the alias properly when validating that the message was sent by the expected peer port, ensuring that the message will be accepted regardless of whether it specifies the node's old network address or it's current one. 2) The code which completes connection establishment now handles the alias properly when determining if the peer port is on the same node as the connected port. An added benefit of addressing issue 1) is that some peer port validation code has been relocated to TIPC's socket subsystem, which means that validation is no longer done twice when a message is sent to a non-socket port (such as TIPC's configuration service or network topology service).

2012-04-19tipc: Ensure network address change doesn't impact new portAllan Stephens1-4/+11
Re-orders port creation logic so that the initialization of a new port's message header template occurs while the port list lock is held. This ensures that a change to the node's network address that occurs at the same time as the port is being created does not result in the template identifying the sender using the former network address. The new approach guarantees that the new port's template is using the current network address or that it will be updated when the address changes.

Introduces routines that test whether a given network address is equal to a node's own network address or if it lies within the node's own network cluster, and which work properly regardless of whether the node is using the default network address <0.0.0> or a non-zero network address that is assigned later on. In essence, these routines ensure that address <0.0.0> is treated as an alias for "this node", regardless of which network address the node is actually using. Old users of the pre-existing more strict match in_own_cluster() have been accordingly redirected to what is now called in_own_cluster_exact() --- which does not extend matching to <0,0,0>.

Ensures that node-scope name publications that exist prior to the configuration of a node's network address are properly re-initialized with that address when it is assigned. TIPC's node-scope publications are now tracked using a publications list like the lists used for cluster-scope and zone-scope publications so they can be easily updated when required. The inclusion of node scope name publications in a conventional publication list means that they must now also be withdrawn, just like cluster and zone scope publications are currently withdrawn. So some conditional tests on scope ==/!= TIPC_NODE_SCOPE are inserted/removed accordingly.

2012-04-19tipc: Separate cluster-scope and zone-scope names into distinct listsAllan Stephens1-5/+26
Utilizes distinct lists to track zone-scope and cluster-scope names published by a node. For now, TIPC continues to process the entries in both lists in the same way; however, an upcoming patch will utilize the existence of the lists to prevent the sending of cluster-scope names to nodes that are not part of the local cluster.

Removes all references to the global variable that records whether TIPC is running in "single node" mode or "network" mode, since this information can be easily deduced from the global variable that records TIPC's network address. (i.e. a non-zero network address means that TIPC is running in network mode.) The changes made update most existing mode-based checks to use the network address global variable.

2012-02-24tipc: Remove duplicate check of message destination nodeAllan Stephens2-52/+46
Eliminates a check in the processing of TIPC messages arriving from off node that ensures the message is destined for this node, since this check duplicates an earlier check. (The check would be necessary if TIPC needed to be able to route incoming messages to another node, but the elimination of multi-cluster support means that this never happens and all incoming messages are consumed by the receiving node.) Note: This change involves the elimination of a single "if" statement with a large "then" clause; consequently, a significant number of lines end up getting re-indented. In addition, a simple message header access routine that is no longer referenced is eliminated. However, the only functional change is the elimination of the single check described above.

2012-02-24tipc: Detect duplicate nodes using different network interfacesAllan Stephens1-14/+58
Utilizes the new "node signature" field in neighbor discovery messages to ensure that all links TIPC associates with a given <Z.C.N> network address belong to the same neighboring node. (Previously, TIPC could not tell if link setup requests arriving on different interfaces were from the same node or from two different nodes that has mistakenly been assigned the same network address.) The revised algorithm for detecting a duplicate node considers both the node signature and the network interface adddress specified in a request message when deciding how to respond to a link setup request. This prevents false alarms that might otherwise arise during normal network operation under the following scenarios: a) A neighboring node reboots. (The node's signature changes, but the network interface address remains unchanged.) b) A neighboring node's network interface is replaced. (The node's signature remains unchanged, but the network interface address changes.) c) A neighboring node is completely replaced. (The node's signature and network interface address both change.) The algorithm also handles cases in which a node reboots and re-establishes its links to TIPC (or begins re-establishing those links) before TIPC detects that it is using a new node signature. In such cases of "delayed rediscovery" TIPC simply accepts the new signature without disrupting communication that is already underway over the links.

2012-02-24tipc: Introduce node signature field in neighbor discovery messageAllan Stephens4-0/+21
Adds support for the new "node signature" in neighbor discovery messages, which is a 16 bit identifier chosen randomly when TIPC is initialized. This field makes it possible for nodes receiving a neighbor discovery message to detect if multiple neighboring nodes are using the same network address (i.e. <Z.C.N>), even when the messages are arriving on different interfaces. This first phase of node signature support creates the signature, incorporates it into outgoing neighbor discovery messages, and tracks the signature used by valid neighbors.
