2012-04-26tipc: Enhance re-initialization of network topology serviceAllan Stephens
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 may be subsequently withdrawn by 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.

2012-04-26tipc: Optimize re-initialization of configuration serviceAllan Stephens
Streamlines the job of re-initializing TIPC's configuration service when a node's network address is first assigned. Rather than destroying the configuration server port and then recreating it, TIPC now simply withdraws the existing {0,<0.0.0>} name publication and creates a new {0,<Z.C.N>} name publication that identifies the node's network address to interested subscribers.

2012-04-19tipc: take lock while updating node network addressAllan Stephens
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.

2012-02-24tipc: Eliminate support for tipc_mode global variableAllan Stephens
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. A few checks that are no longer needed are removed entirely, along with any associated code lying on non-executable control paths.

2012-02-24tipc: Eliminate trivial buffer manipulation helper routinesAllan Stephens
Gets rid of two inlined routines that simply call existing sk_buff manipulation routines, since there is no longer any extra processing done by the helper routines.

2011-12-27tipc: Eliminate dynamic allocation of broadcast link data structuresAllan Stephens
Creates global variables to hold the broadcast link's pseudo-bearer and pseudo-link structures, rather than allocating them dynamically. There is only a single instance of each structure, and changing over to static allocation allows elimination of code to handle the cases where dynamic allocation was unsuccessful. The memset in the teardown code may look like they aren't used, but the same teardown code is run when there is a non-fatal error at init-time, so that stale data isn't present when the user fixes the cause of the soft error.

2011-12-27tipc: Minor correction to TIPC module unloadingAllan Stephens
Modifies TIPC's module unloading logic to switch itself into "single node" mode before starting to terminate networking support.

2011-09-01tipc: Remove obsolete manipulation of message re-route count fieldAllan Stephens
Eliminates code that increments and validates the re-route count field of payload messages, since the elimination of multi-cluster support means that it is no longer necessary for TIPC to forward incoming messages to another node. (The obsolete code was incorrect anyway, since it incorrectly incremented the re-route count field of messages that originated on the node that forwarded the message.)

2011-03-13tipc: manually inline net_start/stop, make assoc. vars staticAllan Stephens
Relocates network-related variables into the subsystem files where they are now primarily used (following the recent rework of TIPC's node table), and converts globals into locals where possible. Changes the initialization of tipc_num_links from run-time to compile-time, and eliminates the net_start routine that becomes empty as a result. Also eliminates the corresponding net_stop routine by moving its (trivial) content into the one location that called the routine.

2011-03-13tipc: Convert node object array to a hash tableAllan Stephens
Replaces the dynamically allocated array of pointers to the cluster's node objects with a static hash table. Hash collisions are resolved using chaining, with a typical hash chain having only a single node, to avoid degrading performance during processing of incoming packets. The conversion to a hash table reduces the memory requirements for TIPC's node table to approximately the same size it had prior to the previous commit. In addition to the hash table itself, TIPC now also maintains a linked list for the node objects, sorted by ascending network address. This list allows TIPC to continue sending responses to user space applications that request node and link information in sorted order. The list also improves performance when name table update messages are sent by making it easier to identify the nodes that must be notified.

2011-03-13tipc: Eliminate configuration for maximum number of cluster nodesAllan Stephens
Gets rid of the need for users to specify the maximum number of cluster nodes supported by TIPC. TIPC now automatically provides support for all 4K nodes allowed by its addressing scheme. Note: This change sets TIPC's memory usage to the amount used by a maximum size node table with 4K entries. An upcoming patch that converts the node table from a linear array to a hash table will compact the node table to a more efficient design, but for clarity it is nice to have all the Kconfig infrastruture go away separately.

2011-03-13tipc: Split up unified structure of network-related variablesAllan Stephens
Converts the fields of the global "tipc_net" structure into individual variables. Since the struct was never referenced as a complete unit, its existence was pointless. This will facilitate upcoming changes to TIPC's node table and simpify upcoming relocation of the variables so they are only visible to the files that actually use them. This change is essentially cosmetic in nature, and doesn't affect the operation of TIPC.

2011-03-13tipc: Fix problem with missing link in "tipc-config -l" outputAllan Stephens
Removes a race condition that could cause TIPC's internal counter of the number of links it has to neighboring nodes to have the incorrect value if two independent threads of control simultaneously create new link endpoints connecting to two different nodes using two different bearers. Such under counting would result in TIPC failing to list the final link(s) in its response to a configuration request to list all of the node's links. The counter is now updated atomically to ensure that simultaneous increments do not interfere with each other.

Remove code that trimmed excess trailing info from incoming messages arriving over an Ethernet interface. TIPC now ignores the extra info while the message is being processed by the node, and only trims it off if the message is retransmitted to another node.

There is nothing stopping a client from trying to send such a message however, and if that happens, we attempt to dereference tipc_net.zones while the pointer is still NULL, and explode. The fix is pretty straightforward. Since these oopses all arise from the dereference of global pointers prior to their assignment to allocated values, and since these allocations are small (about 2k total), lets convert these pointers to static arrays of the appropriate size. All the accesses to these bits consider 0/NULL to be a non match when searching, so all the lookups still work properly, and there is no longer a chance of a bad dererence anywhere. As a bonus, this lets us eliminate the setup/teardown routines for those pointers, and elimnates the need to preform any locking around them to prevent access while their being allocated/freed. I've updated the tipc_net structure to behave this way to fix the exact reported problem, and also fixed up the tipc_bearers and media_list arrays to fix an obvious simmilar problem that arises from issuing tipc-config commands to manipulate bearers/links prior to entering networked mode I've tested this for a few hours by running the sanity tests and stress test with the tipcutils suite, and nothing has fallen over. There have been a few lockdep warnings, but those were there before, and can be addressed later, as they didn't actually result in any deadlock.
