2013-11-07tipc: message reassembly using fragment chainErik Hugne
When the first fragment of a long data data message is received on a link, a reassembly buffer large enough to hold the data from this and all subsequent fragments of the message is allocated. The payload of each new fragment is copied into this buffer upon arrival. When the last fragment is received, the reassembled message is delivered upwards to the port/socket layer. Not only is this an inefficient approach, but it may also cause bursts of reassembly failures in low memory situations. since we may fail to allocate the necessary large buffer in the first place. Furthermore, after 100 subsequent such failures the link will be reset, something that in reality aggravates the situation. To remedy this problem, this patch introduces a different approach. Instead of allocating a big reassembly buffer, we now append the arriving fragments to a reassembly chain on the link, and deliver the whole chain up to the socket layer once the last fragment has been received. This is safe because the retransmission layer of a TIPC link always delivers packets in strict uninterrupted order, to the reassembly layer as to all other upper layers. Hence there can never be more than one fragment chain pending reassembly at any given time in a link, and we can trust (but still verify) that the fragments will be chained up in the correct order.

2013-11-07tipc: don't reroute message fragmentsErik Hugne
When a message fragment is received in a broadcast or unicast link, the reception code will append the fragment payload to a big reassembly buffer through a call to the function tipc_recv_fragm(). However, after the return of that call, the logics goes on and passes the fragment buffer to the function tipc_net_route_msg(), which will simply drop it. This behavior is a remnant from the now obsolete multi-cluster functionality, and has no relevance in the current code base. Although currently harmless, this unnecessary call would be fatal after applying the next patch in this series, which introduces a completely new reassembly algorithm. So we change the code to eliminate the redundant call.

2013-05-03tipc: pskb_copy() buffers when sending on more than one bearerGerlando Falauto
When sending packets, TIPC bearers use skb_clone() before writing their hardware header. This will however NOT copy the data buffer. So when the same packet is sent over multiple bearers (to reach multiple nodes), the same socket buffer data will be treated by multiple tipc_media drivers which will write their own hardware header through dev_hard_header(). Most of the time this is not a problem, because by the time the packet is processed by the second media, it has already been sent over the first one. However, when the first transmission is delayed (e.g. because of insufficient bandwidth or through a shaper), the next bearer will overwrite the hardware header, resulting in the packet being sent: a) with the wrong source address, when bearers of the same type, e.g. ethernet, are involved b) with a completely corrupt header, or even dropped, when bearers of different types are involved. So when the same socket buffer is to be sent multiple times, send a pskb_copy() instead (from the second instance on), and release it afterwards (the bearer will skb_clone() it anyway).

2012-11-22tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanismYing Xue
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.

2012-07-13tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usageErik Hugne
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.

2012-02-06tipc: Prevent loss of fragmented messages over broadcast linkAllan Stephens
Modifies broadcast link so that an incoming fragmented message is not lost if reassembly cannot begin because there currently is no buffer big enough to hold the entire reassembled message. The broadcast link now ignores the first fragment completely, which causes the sending node to retransmit the first fragment so that reassembly can be re-attempted. Previously, the sender would have had no reason to retransmit the 1st fragment, so we would never have a chance to re-try the allocation. To do this cleanly without duplicaton, a new bclink_accept_pkt() function is introduced.

2012-02-06tipc: Major redesign of broadcast link ACK/NACK algorithmsAllan Stephens
Completely redesigns broadcast link ACK and NACK mechanisms to prevent spurious retransmit requests in dual LAN networks, and to prevent the broadcast link from stalling due to the failure of a receiving node to acknowledge receiving a broadcast message or request its retransmission. Note: These changes only impact the timing of when ACK and NACK messages are sent, and not the basic broadcast link protocol itself, so inter- operability with nodes using the "classic" algorithms is maintained. The revised algorithms are as follows: 1) An explicit ACK message is still sent after receiving 16 in-sequence messages, and implicit ACK information continues to be carried in other unicast link message headers (including link state messages). However, the timing of explicit ACKs is now based on the receiving node's absolute network address rather than its relative network address to ensure that the failure of another node does not delay the ACK beyond its 16 message target. 2) A NACK message is now typically sent only when a message gap persists for two consecutive incoming link state messages; this ensures that a suspected gap is not confirmed until both LANs in a dual LAN network have had an opportunity to deliver the message, thereby preventing spurious NACKs. A NACK message can also be generated by the arrival of a single link state message, if the deferred queue is so big that the current message gap cannot be the result of "normal" mis-ordering due to the use of dual LANs (or one LAN using a bonded interface). Since link state messages typically arrive at different nodes at different times the problem of multiple nodes issuing identical NACKs simultaneously is inherently avoided. 3) Nodes continue to "peek" at NACK messages sent by other nodes. If another node requests retransmission of a message gap suspected (but not yet confirmed) by the peeking node, the peeking node forgets about the gap and does not generate a duplicate retransmit request. (If the peeking node subsequently fails to receive the lost message, later link state messages will cause it to rediscover and confirm the gap and send another NACK.) 4) Message gap "equality" is now determined by the start of the gap only. This is sufficient to deal with the most common cases of message loss, and eliminates the need for complex end of gap computations. 5) A peeking node no longer tries to determine whether it should send a complementary NACK, since the most common cases of message loss don't require it to be sent. Consequently, the node no longer examines the "broadcast tag" field of a NACK message when peeking.
