2012-08-20tipc: optimize the initialization of network device notifierYing Xue
Ethernet media initialization is only done when TIPC is started or switched to network mode. So the initialization of the network device notifier structure can be moved out of this function and done statically instead.

2012-07-13tipc: remove print_buf and deprecated log buffer codeErik Hugne
The internal log buffer handling functions can now safely be removed since there is no code using it anymore. Requests to interact with the internal tipc log buffer over netlink (in config.c) will report 'obsolete command'. This represents the final removal of any references to a struct print_buf, and the removal of the struct itself. We also get rid of a TIPC specific Kconfig in the process. Finally, log.h is removed since it is not needed anymore.

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.

2012-07-13tipc: simplify print buffer handling in tipc_printfErik Hugne
tipc_printf was previously used both to construct debug traces and to append data to buffers that should be sent over netlink to the tipc-config application. A global print_buffer was used to format the string before it was copied to the actual output buffer. This could lead to concurrent access of the global print_buffer, which then had to be lock protected. This is simplified by changing tipc_printf to append data directly to the output buffer using vscnprintf. With the new implementation of tipc_printf, there is no longer any risk of concurrent access to the internal log buffer, so the lock (and the comments describing it) are no longer strictly necessary. However, there are still a few functions that do grab this lock before resizing/dumping the log buffer. We leave the lock, and these functions untouched since they will be removed with a subsequent commit that drops the deprecated log buffer handling code Signed-off-by: Erik Hugne <erik.hugne@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

To pave the way for a pending cleanup of tipc_printf, and removal of struct print_buf entirely, we make that task simpler by converting link_print to issue its messages with standard printk infrastructure.

2012-07-13tipc: remove TIPC packet debugging functions and macrosErik Hugne
The link queue traces and packet level debug functions served a purpose during early development, but are now redundant since there are other, more capable tools available for debugging at the packet level. The TIPC_DEBUG Kconfig option is removed since it does not provide any extra debugging features anymore. This gets rid of a lot of tipc_printf usages, which will make the pending cleanup work of that function easier.

All messages should go directly to the kernel log. The TIPC specific error, warning, info and debug trace macro's are removed and all references replaced with pr_err, pr_warn, pr_info and pr_debug. Commonly used sub-strings are explicitly declared as a const char to reduce .text size. Note that this means the debug messages (changed to pr_debug), are now enabled through dynamic debugging, instead of a TIPC specific Kconfig option (TIPC_DEBUG).

With the default name table size of 1024, it is possible that the sanity check in tipc_nametbl_stop could spam out 1024 essentially identical error messages if memory was corrupted or similar. Limit it to issuing no more than a single message.

Delete the extra line feeds between any comment and its associated following block of code, to be consistent with the majority of the rest of the kernel. Also delete trailing newlines at EOF and fix a couple trivial typos in existing comments. This is a 100% cosmetic change with no runtime impact.

Adds check to ensure TIPC sockets reject incoming payload messages that have an unrecognized message type. Remove the old open question about whether TIPC_ERR_NO_PORT is the proper return value. It is appropriate here since there are valid instances where another node can make use of the reply, and at this point in time the host is already broadcasting TIPC data, so there are no real security concerns.

2012-04-26tipc: Enhance error checking of published namesAllan Stephens
Consolidates validation of scope and name sequence range values into a single routine where it applies both to local name publications and to name publications issued by other nodes in the network. This change means that the scope value for non-local publications is now validated and the name sequence range for local publications is now validated only once. Additionally, a publication attempt that fails validation now creates an entry in the system log file only if debugging capabilities have been enabled; this prevents the system log from being cluttered up with messages caused by a defective application or network node.

2012-04-26tipc: Enhance re-initialization of network topology serviceAllan Stephens
Streamlines the job of re-initializing TIPC's network topology service when a node's network address is first assigned. Rather than destroying the topology server port and breaking its connections to existing subscribers, TIPC now simply lets the service continue running (since the change to the port identifier of each port used by the topology service no longer impacts the flow of messages between the service and its subscribers). This enhancement means that applications that utilize the topology service prior to the assignment of TIPC's network address no longer need to re-establish their subscriptions when the address is finally assigned. However, it is worth noting that any subsequent events for existing subscriptions report the new port identifier of the publishing port, rather than the original port identifier. (For example, a name that was previously reported as being published by <0.0.0:ref> may be subsequently withdrawn by <Z.C.N:ref>.) This doesn't impact any of the existing known userspace in tipc-utils, since (a) TIPC continues to treat references to the original port ID correctly and (b) normal use cases assign an address before active use. However if there does happen to be some rare/custom application out there that was relying on this, they can simply bypass the enhancement by issuing a subscription to {0,0} and break its connection to the topology service, if an associated withdrawal event occurs.

2012-04-19tipc: take lock while updating node network addressAllan Stephens
The routine that changes the node's network address now takes TIPC's network lock in write mode while the main address variable and associated data structures are being changed; this is needed to ensure that the link subsystem won't attempt to send a message off-node until the sending port's message header template has been updated with the node's new network address.

2012-04-19tipc: Ensure network address change doesn't impact local connectionsAllan Stephens
Revises routines that deal with connections between two ports on the same node to ensure the connection is not impacted if the node's network address is changed in mid-operation. The routines now treat the default node address of <0.0.0> as an alias for "this node" in the following situations: 1) Incoming messages destined to a connected port now handle the alias properly when validating that the message was sent by the expected peer port, ensuring that the message will be accepted regardless of whether it specifies the node's old network address or it's current one. 2) The code which completes connection establishment now handles the alias properly when determining if the peer port is on the same node as the connected port. An added benefit of addressing issue 1) is that some peer port validation code has been relocated to TIPC's socket subsystem, which means that validation is no longer done twice when a message is sent to a non-socket port (such as TIPC's configuration service or network topology service).

Re-orders port creation logic so that the initialization of a new port's message header template occurs while the port list lock is held. This ensures that a change to the node's network address that occurs at the same time as the port is being created does not result in the template identifying the sender using the former network address.

In essence, these routines ensure that address <0.0.0> is treated as an alias for "this node", regardless of which network address the node is actually using.

TIPC's node-scope publications are now tracked using a publications list like the lists used for cluster-scope and zone-scope publications so they can be easily updated when required.
