* tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanismYing Xue2012-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently at the TIPC bearer layer there is the following congestion mechanism: Once sending packets has failed via that bearer, the bearer will be flagged as being in congested state at once. During bearer congestion, all packets arriving at link will be queued on the link's outgoing buffer. When we detect that the state of bearer congestion has relaxed (e.g. some packets are received from the bearer) we will try our best to push all packets in the link's outgoing buffer until the buffer is empty, or until the bearer is congested again. However, in fact the TIPC bearer never receives any feedback from the device layer whether a send was successful or not, so it must always assume it was successful. Therefore, the bearer congestion mechanism as it exists currently is of no value. But the bearer blocking state is still useful for us. For example, when the physical media goes down/up, we need to change the state of the links bound to the bearer. So the code maintaing the state information is not removed.

* tipc: manually inline single use media_name_valid routineYing Xue2012-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | After eliminating the mechanism which checks whether all letters in media name string are within a given character set, the media_name_valid routine becomes trivial. It is also only used once, so it is unnecessary to keep it as a separate function.

* tipc: remove pointless name sanity check and tipc_alphabet arrayYing Xue2012-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no real reason to check whether all letters in the given media name and network interface name are within the character set defined in tipc_alphabet array. Even if we eliminate the checking, the rest of checking conditions in tipc_enable_bearer() can ensure we do not enable an invalid or illegal bearer.

* tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usageErik Hugne2012-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tipc_printf is renamed to tipc_snprintf, as the new name describes more what the function actually does. It is also changed to take a buffer and length parameter and return number of characters written to the buffer. All callers of this function that used to pass a print_buf are updated. Final removal of the struct print_buf itself will be done synchronously with the pending removal of the deprecated logging code that also was using it. Functions that build up a response message with a list of ports, nametable contents etc. are changed to return the number of characters written to the output buffer. This information was previously hidden in a field of the print_buf struct, and the number of chars written was fetched with a call to tipc_printbuf_validate. This function is removed since it is no longer referenced nor needed. A generic max size ULTRA_STRING_MAX_LEN is defined, named in keeping with the existing TIPC_TLV_ULTRA_STRING, and the various definitions in port, link and nametable code that largely duplicated this information are removed. This means that amount of link statistics that can be returned is now increased from 2k to 32k. The buffer overflow check is now done just before the reply message is passed over netlink or TIPC to a remote node and the message indicating a truncated buffer is changed to a less dramatic one (less CAPS), placed at the end of the message.

* tipc: use standard printk shortcut macros (pr_err etc.)Erik Hugne2012-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All messages should go directly to the kernel log. The TIPC specific error, warning, info and debug trace macro's are removed and all references replaced with pr_err, pr_warn, pr_info and pr_debug. Commonly used sub-strings are explicitly declared as a const char to reduce .text size. Note that this means the debug messages (changed to pr_debug), are now enabled through dynamic debugging, instead of a TIPC specific Kconfig option (TIPC_DEBUG).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* tipc: Add routines for safe checking of node's network addressAllan Stephens2012-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>.

* tipc: Eliminate support for tipc_mode global variableAllan Stephens2012-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tipc: Hide media-specific addressing details from generic bearer codeAllan Stephens2011-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reworks TIPC's media address data structure and associated processing routines to transfer all media-specific details of address conversion to the associated TIPC media adaptation code. TIPC's generic bearer code now only needs to know which media type an address is associated with and whether or not it is a broadcast address, and totally ignores the "value" field that contains the actual media-specific addressing info. These changes eliminate the need for a number of endianness conversion operations and will make it easier for TIPC to support new media types in the future.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simplifies error handling performed during media registration, since TIPC no longer supports the dynamic addition of new media types that are potentially error-prone. These simplifications include the following: 1) No longer check for premature registration of a new media type. 2) No longer check for negative link priority values (which was pointless since such values are unsigned, and could cause a compiler warning). 3) No longer generate a warning describing the exact cause of any registration failure (just warns that overall registration failed).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Combines two distinct structures containing information about a TIPC bearer into a single structure.

However, now that the native API has been removed there is no longer any need for this arrangement. Since one of the structures was already embedded within the other, the change largely involves replacing instances of "publ.foo" with "foo".

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.

* tipc: fix test of bearer_priority range in tipc_register_media()roel kluin2009-08-29
| | | | | | | | For the bearer_priority to be less than TIPC_MIN_LINK_PRI and greater than TIPC_MAX_LINK_PRI is logically impossible. Signed-off-by: Roel Kluin <roel.kluin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tipc: Don't use structure names which easily globally conflict.David S. Miller2008-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | Andrew Morton reported a build failure on sparc32, because TIPC uses names like "struct node" and there is a like named data structure defined in linux/node.h This just regexp replaces "struct node*" to "struct tipc_node*" to avoid this and any future similar problems.

* tipc: Eliminate improper use of TIPC_OK error codeAllan Stephens2008-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch corrects many places where TIPC routines indicated successful completion by returning TIPC_OK instead of 0. (The TIPC_OK symbol has the value 0, but it should only be used in contexts that deal with the error code field of a TIPC message header.)

* [TIPC]: Added duplicate node address detection capabilityAllan Stephens2006-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | TIPC now rejects and logs link setup requests from node <Z.C.N> if the receiving node already has a functional link to that node on the associated interface, or if the requestor is using the same <Z.C.N> as the receiver.
