* Revert d88dca79d3852a3623f606f781e013d61486828aNeil Horman2010-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | TIPC needs to have its endianess issues fixed. Unfortunately, the format of a subscriber message is passed in directly from user space, so requiring this message to be in network byte order breaks user space ABI. Revert this change until such time as we can determine how to do this in a backwards compatible manner. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* tipc: fix endianness on tipc subscriber messagesNeil Horman2010-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove htohl implementation from tipc I was working on forward porting the downstream commits for TIPC and ran accross this one: http://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=people/allan/tipc.git;a=commitdiff;h=894279b9437b63cbb02405ad5b8e033b51e4e31e I was going to just take it, when I looked closer and noted what it was doing. This is basically a routine to byte swap fields of data in sent/received packets for tipc, dependent upon the receivers guessed endianness of the peer when a connection is established. Asside from just seeming silly to me, it appears to violate the latest RFC draft for tipc: http://tipc.sourceforge.net/doc/draft-spec-tipc-02.txt Which, according to section 4.2 and 4.3.3, requires that all fields of all commands be sent in network byte order. So instead of just taking this patch, instead I'm removing the htohl function and replacing the calls with calls to ntohl in the rx path and htonl in the send path. As part of this fix, I'm also changing the subscr_cancel function, which searches the list of subscribers, using a memcmp of the entire subscriber list, for the entry to tear down. unfortunately it memcmps the entire tipc_subscr structure which has several bits that are private to the local side, so nothing will ever match. section 5.2 of the draft spec indicates the <type,upper,lower> tuple should uniquely identify a subscriber, so convert subscr_cancel to just match on those fields (properly endian swapped). I've tested this using the tipc test suite, and its passed without issue. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tipc: Cosmetic cleanup of topology service codeAllan Stephens2008-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch contains a set of cosmetic changes to TIPC's network topology service subsystem, including: - updates to comments (including copyright dates) - re-ordering structure fields to group them more logically - removal of optional debugging code that is no longer required - minor changes to whitespace to conform to Linux coding conventions Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* tipc: Consolidate subscriber & subscriber port referencesAllan Stephens2008-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber connection, rather than two. This is achieved by letting the reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber act as the reference to the subscriber object itself. (Since the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa, this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.) This consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50% in the default configuration. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* tipc: Add support for customized subscription endiannessAllan Stephens2008-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | This patch enables TIPC's topology server code to do customized endianness conversions on a per-subscription basis.
