* tipc: Message rejection rework preparatory changesAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | This patch defines a few new message header manipulation routines, and generalizes the usefulness of another, in preparation for upcoming rework of TIPC's message rejection code.

* tipc: Fix bugs in rejection of message with short headerAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | This patch ensures that TIPC doesn't try to access non-existent message header fields when rejecting a message with a short header. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tipc: Message header creation optimizationsAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | This patch eliminates several cases where message header fields were being set to the same value twice. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tipc: Expand link sequence gap field to 13 bitsAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch increases the "sequence gap" field of the LINK_PROTOCOL message header from 8 bits to 13 bits (utilizing 5 previously unused 0 bits). This ensures that the field is big enough to indicate the loss of up to 8191 consecutive messages on the link, thereby accommodating the current worst-case scenario of 4000 lost messages.

* tipc: Add missing spinlock in name table display codeAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch ensures that the display code that traverses the publication lists belonging to a name table entry take its associated spinlock, to protect against a possible change to one of its "head of list" pointers caused by a simultaneous name table lookup operation by another thread of control.

* tipc: Prevent display of name table types with no publicationsAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | This patch adds a check to prevent TIPC's name table display code from listing a name type entry if it exists only to hold subscription info, rather than published names.

* tipc: Optimize message initialization routineAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates the rarely-used "error code" argument when initializing a TIPC message header, since the default value of zero is the desired result in most cases; the few exceptional cases now set the error code explicitly.

* tipc: Prevent access of non-existent field in short message headerAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates a case where TIPC's link code could try reading a field that is not present in a short message header. (The random value obtained was not being used, but the read operation could result in an invalid memory access exception in extremely rare circumstances.)

* tipc: Minor optimizations to received message processingAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enhances TIPC's handler for incoming messages in two ways: - the trivial, single-use routine for processing non-sequenced messages has been merged into the main handler - the interface that received a message is now identified without having to access and/or modify the associated sk_buff Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tipc: Fix minor bugs in link session number handlingAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new, out-of-range value to indicate that a link endpoint does not have an existing session established with its peer, eliminating the risk that the previously used "invalid session number" value (i.e. zero) might eventually be assigned as a valid session number and cause incorrect link behavior. The patch also introduces explicit bit masking when assigning a new link session number to ensure it does not exceed 16 bits.

* tipc: Fix bugs in message error code display when debuggingAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch corrects two problems in the display of error code information in TIPC messages when debugging: - no longer tries to display error code in NAME_DISTRIBUTOR messages, which don't have the error field - now displays error code in 24 byte data messages, which do have the error field Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tipc: Standardize error checking on incoming messages via native APIAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | This patch re-orders & re-groups the error checks performed on messages being delivered to native API ports, in order to clarify the similarities and differences required for the various message types.

* tipc: Fix bug in connection setup via native APIAllan Stephens2008-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug that prevented TIPC from receiving a connection setup request message on a native TIPC port. The revised connection setup logic ensures that validation of the source of a connection-based message is skipped if the port is not yet connected to a peer.

* tipc: Fix initialization sequence problems when entering network modeAllan Stephens2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration service are shut down before switching into "network mode". This ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary "publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully initialized for sending off-node messages. Note that the node's current network address is now updated only after the two services are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.

* tipc: Update "previous node" indicators when node address changesAllan Stephens2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | This patch ensures that the "previous node" field in any existing TIPC port message header templates is updated properly when a TIPC network address is assigned to the node. (Previously, only the "originating node" field was updated.) Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tipc: Optimize null pointer check during neighbor discoveryAllan Stephens2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | This patch optimizes TIPC neighbor discovery code to avoid testing for a null node pointer when the pointer is already known to be non-null. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tipc: Prevent node object duplication due to simultaneous discoveryAllan Stephens2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | This patch ensures that the simultaneous discovery of the same neighboring node by multiple interfaces does not cause TIPC to add the node into its internal data structures more than once.

* tipc: Fix skb_under_panic when configuring TIPC without privilegesAllan Stephens2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it is issued by a process lacking those privileges. The revised error handling code avoids the use of a potentially uninitialized global variable by transforming the unauthorized command into a new command, then following the standard command processing path to generate the required error message.

* 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. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* 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. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tipc: Fix bug in topology server byte swapping routineAllan Stephens2008-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes TIPC's topology server so that it does byte swapping correctly when endianness conversion is required. (Note: This bug only impacted an application if it issues a subscription request to a topology server on another node, rather than the server on it's own node; since the topology server is normally not accessible by off-node applications, most TIPC applications were not impacted by the bug.)

* 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.

* | tipc: Fix race condition when creating socket or native portAllan Stephens2008-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates the (very remote) chance of a crash resulting from a partially initialized socket or native port unexpectedly receiving a message. Now, during the creation of a socket or native port, the underlying generic port's lock is not released until all initialization required to handle incoming messages has been done.

* | tipc: Cosmetic cleanup of system & debug output declarationsAllan Stephens2008-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch contains changes to make TIPC's system & debug message declarations more readable. Declarations have been regrouped and recommented to make it easier to understand what output is generated in both standard and debugging modes. In addition, oversize lines have been fixed to respect the 80 character upper bound used in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | tipc: Elimination of print buffer chainingAllan Stephens2008-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch revamps TIPC's print buffer subsystem to eliminate support for arbitrary chains of print buffers, which were rarely needed and difficult to use safely. In its place, print buffers can now be configured to echo their output to the system console. This provides an equivalent for the only chaining currently utilized by TIPC, in a faster and more compact manner. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TIPC]: Cleanup of TIPC reference table codeAllan Stephens2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a largely cosmetic cleanup of the TIPC reference table code. - The object reference field in each table entry is now single 32-bit integer instead of a union of two 32-bit integers. - Variable naming has been made more consistent. - Error message output has been made more consistent. - Useless #includes have been eliminated.

* [TIPC]: Remove inlining of reference table locking routinesAllan Stephens2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | This patch converts the TIPC reference table locking routines into non-inlined routines, since they are mainly called from non-performance critical areas of TIPC and the added code footprint incurred through inlining can no longer be justified.

* [TIPC]: Enhance validation of format on incoming messagesAllan Stephens2008-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch ensures that TIPC properly handles incoming messages that have incorrect or unexpected formats. Most significantly, it now ensures that each sl_buff has at least as much data as the message header indicates it should, and that the entire message header is stored contiguously; this prevents TIPC from accidentally accessing memory that is not part of the sk_buff.

* [TIPC]: Force linearization of non-linear sk_buffsAllan Stephens2008-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows TIPC to process incoming messages that are stored in a fragmented sk_buff, by forcing the linearization of any such messages it receives. Note: This is an interim solution to allow TIPC to operate with Ethernet devices that generate non-linear buffers (such as the gianfar driver), until such time as the rest of TIPC is enhanced to handle sk_buffs with multiple data areas.

* [TIPC]: Use fast buffer cloning to improve performanceAllan Stephens2008-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | This patch causes TIPC to allocate fast clonable sk_buffs, rather than standard ones. This speeds up the cloning operation done by the link code each time a message is sent off-node. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TIPC]: Remove redundant NULL check when discarding buffersAllan Stephens2008-04-15

* [TIPC]: Overhaul of socket locking logicAllan Stephens2008-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies TIPC's socket code to follow the same approach used by other protocols. This change eliminates the need for a mutex in the TIPC-specific portion of the socket protocol data structure -- in its place, the standard Linux socket backlog queue and associated locking routines are utilized. These changes fix a long-standing receive queue bug on SMP systems, and also enable individual read and write threads to utilize a socket without unnecessarily interfering with each other.

* [TIPC]: Correct "off by 1" error in socket queue limit enforcementAllan Stephens2008-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug that allowed TIPC to queue 1 more message than allowed by the socket receive queue threshold limits.
