tipc: clean up link creation

2015-07-31T00:25:15+00:00

We simplify the link creation function tipc_link_create() and the way
the link struct it is connected to the node struct. In particular, we
remove the duplicate initialization of some fields which are anyway set
in tipc_link_reset().

tipc: reduce locking scope during packet reception

2015-07-21T03:41:16+00:00

We convert packet/message reception according to the same principle
we have been using for message sending and timeout handling:

We move the function tipc_rcv() to node.c, hence handling the initial
packet reception at the link aggregation level. The function grabs
the node lock, selects the receiving link, and accesses it via a new
call tipc_link_rcv(). This function appends buffers to the input
queue for delivery upwards, but it may also append outgoing packets
to the xmit queue, just as we do during regular message sending. The
latter will happen when buffers are forwarded from the link backlog,
or when retransmission is requested.

Upon return of this function, and after having released the node lock,
tipc_rcv() delivers/tranmsits the contents of those queues, but it may
also perform actions such as link activation or reset, as indicated by
the return flags from the link.

This reduces the number of cpu cycles spent inside the node spinlock,
and reduces contention on that lock.

tipc: simplify packet sequence number handling

2015-05-14T16:24:46+00:00

Although the sequence number in the TIPC protocol is 16 bits, we have
until now stored it internally as an unsigned 32 bits integer.
We got around this by always doing explicit modulo-65535 operations
whenever we need to access a sequence number.

We now make the incoming and outgoing sequence numbers to unsigned
16-bit integers, and remove the modulo operations where applicable.

We also move the arithmetic inline functions for 16 bit integers
to core.h, and the function buf_seqno() to msg.h, so they can easily
be accessed from anywhere in the code.

tipc: simplify include dependencies

2015-05-14T16:24:45+00:00

When we try to add new inline functions in the code, we sometimes
run into circular include dependencies.

The main problem is that the file core.h, which really should be at
the root of the dependency chain, instead is a leaf. I.e., core.h
includes a number of header files that themselves should be allowed
to include core.h. In reality this is unnecessary, because core.h does
not need to know the full signature of any of the structs it refers to,
only their type declaration.

In this commit, we remove all dependencies from core.h towards any
other tipc header file.

As a consequence of this change, we can now move the function
tipc_own_addr(net) from addr.c to addr.h, and make it inline.

There are no functional changes in this commit.

tipc: remove tipc_snprintf

2015-02-09T21:20:49+00:00

tipc_snprintf() was heavily utilized by the old netlink API which no
longer exists (now netlink compat).

In this patch we swap tipc_snprintf() to the identical scnprintf() in
the only remaining occurrence.

tipc: move and rename the legacy nl api to "nl compat"

2015-02-09T21:20:47+00:00

The new netlink API is no longer "v2" but rather the standard API and
the legacy API is now "nl compat". We split them into separate
start/stop and put them in different files in order to further
distinguish them.

tipc: make tipc random value aware of net namespace

2015-01-12T21:24:33+00:00

After namespace is supported, each namespace should own its private
random value. So the global variable representing the random value
must be moved to tipc_net structure.

tipc: make subscriber server support net namespace

2015-01-12T21:24:33+00:00

TIPC establishes one subscriber server which allows users to subscribe
their interesting name service status. After tipc supports namespace,
one dedicated tipc stack instance is created for each namespace, and
each instance can be deemed as one independent TIPC node. As a result,
subscriber server must be built for each namespace.

tipc: make tipc node address support net namespace

2015-01-12T21:24:33+00:00

If net namespace is supported in tipc, each namespace will be treated
as a separate tipc node. Therefore, every namespace must own its
private tipc node address. This means the "tipc_own_addr" global
variable of node address must be moved to tipc_net structure to
satisfy the requirement. It's turned out that users also can assign
node address for every namespace.

tipc: name tipc name table support net namespace

2015-01-12T21:24:33+00:00

TIPC name table is used to store the mapping relationship between
TIPC service name and socket port ID. When tipc supports namespace,
it allows users to publish service names only owned by a certain
namespace. Therefore, every namespace must have its private name
table to prevent service names published to one namespace from being
contaminated by other service names in another namespace. Therefore,
The name table global variable (ie, nametbl) and its lock must be
moved to tipc_net structure, and a parameter of namespace must be
added for necessary functions so that they can obtain name table
variable defined in tipc_net structure.
