tipc: make tipc node table aware of net namespace

2015-01-12T21:24:32+00:00

Global variables associated with node table are below:
- node table list (node_htable)
- node hash table list (tipc_node_list)
- node table lock (node_list_lock)
- node number counter (tipc_num_nodes)
- node link number counter (tipc_num_links)

To make node table support namespace, above global variables must be
moved to tipc_net structure in order to keep secret for different
namespaces. As a consequence, these variables are allocated and
initialized when namespace is created, and deallocated when namespace
is destroyed. After the change, functions associated with these
variables have to utilize a namespace pointer to access them. So
adding namespace pointer as a parameter of these functions is the
major change made in the commit.

tipc: involve namespace infrastructure

2015-01-12T21:24:32+00:00

Involve namespace infrastructure, make the "tipc_net_id" global
variable aware of per namespace, and rename it to "net_id". In
order that the conversion can be successfully done, an instance
of networking namespace must be passed to relevant functions,
allowing them to access the "net_id" variable of per namespace.

tipc: add net set to new netlink api

2014-11-21T20:01:31+00:00

Add TIPC_NL_NET_SET command to the new tipc netlink API.

This command can set the network id and network (tipc) address.

Netlink logical layout of network set message:
-> net

tipc: same receive code path for connection protocol and data messages

2014-06-27T19:50:56+00:00

As a preparation to eliminate port_lock we need to bring reception
of connection protocol messages under proper protection of bh_lock_sock
or socket owner.

We fix this by letting those messages follow the same code path as
incoming data messages.

As a side effect of this change, the last reference to the function
net_route_msg() disappears, and we can eliminate that function.

tipc: convert allocations of global variables associated with bclink

2014-05-05T21:26:45+00:00

Convert allocations of global variables associated with bclink from
static way to dynamical way for the convenience of bclink instance
initialisation. Meanwhile, this also helps TIPC support name space
in the future easily.

tipc: purge tipc_net_lock lock

2014-04-23T01:17:53+00:00

Now tipc routing hierarchy comprises the structures 'node', 'link'and
'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big read/write lock,
tipc_net_lock, to ensure that nothing is added or removed while code
is accessing any of these structures. Obviously the locking policy
makes node, link and bearer components closely bound together so that
their relationship becomes unnecessarily complex. In the worst case,
such locking policy not only has a negative influence on performance,
but also it's prone to lead to deadlock occasionally.

In order o decouple the complex relationship between bearer and node
as well as link, the locking policy is adjusted as follows:

- Bearer level
  RTNL lock is used on update side, and RCU is used on read side.
  Meanwhile, all bearer instances including broadcast bearer are
  saved into bearer_list array.

- Node and link level
  All node instances are saved into two tipc_node_list and node_htable
  lists. The two lists are protected by node_list_lock on write side,
  and they are guarded with RCU lock on read side. All members in node
  structure including link instances are protected by node spin lock.

- The relationship between bearer and node
  When link accesses bearer, it first needs to find the bearer with
  its bearer identity from the bearer_list array. When bearer accesses
  node, it can iterate the node_htable hash list with the node
  address to find the corresponding node.

In the new locking policy, every component has its private locking
solution and the relationship between bearer and node is very simple,
that is, they can find each other with node address or bearer identity
from node_htable hash list or bearer_list array.

Until now above all changes have been done, so tipc_net_lock can be
removed safely.

2012-08-20T09:26:30+00:00

return value type should be changed from integer to void, which can
avoid unnecessary check for its return value.

tipc: manually inline net_start/stop, make assoc. vars static

2011-03-13T20:35:17+00:00

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.

tipc: Convert node object array to a hash table

2011-03-13T20:35:17+00:00

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.
