tipc: fix bug during lookup of multicast destination nodes

2018-01-15T19:27:13+00:00

In commit 232d07b74a33 ("tipc: improve groupcast scope handling") we
inadvertently broke non-group multicast transmission when changing the
parameter 'domain' to 'scope' in the function
tipc_nametbl_lookup_dst_nodes(). We missed to make the corresponding
change in the calling function, with the result that the lookup always
fails.

A closer anaysis reveals that this parameter is not needed at all.
Non-group multicast is hard coded to use CLUSTER_SCOPE, and in the
current implementation this will be delivered to all matching
destinations except those which are published with NODE_SCOPE on other
nodes. Since such publications never will be visible on the sending node
anyway, it makes no sense to discriminate by scope at all.

We now remove this parameter altogether.

tipc: improve groupcast scope handling

2018-01-09T17:35:58+00:00

When a member joins a group, it also indicates a binding scope. This
makes it possible to create both node local groups, invisible to other
nodes, as well as cluster global groups, visible everywhere.

In order to avoid that different members end up having permanently
differing views of group size and memberhip, we must inhibit locally
and globally bound members from joining the same group.

We do this by using the binding scope as an additional separator between
groups. I.e., a member must ignore all membership events from sockets
using a different scope than itself, and all lookups for message
destinations must require an exact match between the message's lookup
scope and the potential target's binding scope.

Apart from making it possible to create local groups using the same
identity on different nodes, a side effect of this is that it now also
becomes possible to create a cluster global group with the same identity
across the same nodes, without interfering with the local groups.

tipc: add option to suppress PUBLISH events for pre-existing publications

2018-01-09T17:35:58+00:00

Currently, when a user is subscribing for binding table publications,
he will receive a PUBLISH event for all already existing matching items
in the binding table.

However, a group socket making a subscriptions doesn't need this initial
status update from the binding table, because it has already scanned it
during the join operation. Worse, the multiplicatory effect of issuing
mutual events for dozens or hundreds group members within a short time
frame put a heavy load on the topology server, with the end result that
scale out operations on a big group tend to take much longer than needed.

We now add a new filter option, TIPC_SUB_NO_STATUS, for topology server
subscriptions, so that this initial avalanche of events is suppressed.
This change, along with the previous commit, significantly improves the
range and speed of group scale out operations.

We keep the new option internal for the tipc driver, at least for now.

tipc: send out join messages as soon as new member is discovered

2018-01-09T17:35:58+00:00

When a socket is joining a group, we look up in the binding table to
find if there are already other members of the group present. This is
used for being able to return EAGAIN instead of EHOSTUNREACH if the
user proceeds directly to a send attempt.

However, the information in the binding table can be used to directly
set the created member in state MBR_PUBLISHED and send a JOIN message
to the peer, instead of waiting for a topology PUBLISH event to do this.
When there are many members in a group, the propagation time for such
events can be significant, and we can save time during the join
operation if we use the initial lookup result fully.

In this commit, we eliminate the member state MBR_DISCOVERED which has
been the result of the initial lookup, and do instead go directly to
MBR_PUBLISHED, which initiates the setup.

After this change, the tipc_member FSM looks as follows:

tipc: eliminate KASAN warning

The following warning was reported by syzbot on Oct 24. 2017:
KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds Read in tipc_nametbl_lookup_dst_nodes

This is a harmless bug, but we still want to get rid of the warning,
so we swap the two conditions in question.

tipc: introduce group anycast messaging

2017-10-13T15:46:00+00:00

In this commit, we make it possible to send connectionless unicast
messages to any member corresponding to the given member identity,
when there is more than one such member. The sender must use a
TIPC_ADDR_NAME address to achieve this effect.

We also perform load balancing between the destinations, i.e., we
primarily select one which has advertised sufficient send window
to not cause a block/EAGAIN delay, if any. This mechanism is
overlayed on the always present round-robin selection.

Anycast messages are subject to the same start synchronization
and flow control mechanism as group broadcast messages.

tipc: introduce communication groups

2017-10-13T15:46:00+00:00

As a preparation for introducing flow control for multicast and datagram
messaging we need a more strictly defined framework than we have now. A
socket must be able keep track of exactly how many and which other
sockets it is allowed to communicate with at any moment, and keep the
necessary state for those.

We therefore introduce a new concept we have named Communication Group.
Sockets can join a group via a new setsockopt() call TIPC_GROUP_JOIN.
The call takes four parameters: 'type' serves as group identifier,
'instance' serves as an logical member identifier, and 'scope' indicates
the visibility of the group (node/cluster/zone). Finally, 'flags' makes
it possible to set certain properties for the member. For now, there is
only one flag, indicating if the creator of the socket wants to receive
a copy of broadcast or multicast messages it is sending via the socket,
and if wants to be eligible as destination for its own anycasts.

A group is closed, i.e., sockets which have not joined a group will
not be able to send messages to or receive messages from members of
the group, and vice versa.

Any member of a group can send multicast ('group broadcast') messages
to all group members, optionally including itself, using the primitive
send(). The messages are received via the recvmsg() primitive. A socket
can only be member of one group at a time.

tipc: improve destination linked list

2017-10-13T15:46:00+00:00

We often see a need for a linked list of destination identities,
sometimes containing a port number, sometimes a node identity, and
sometimes both. The currently defined struct u32_list is not generic
enough to cover all cases, so we extend it to contain two u32 integers
and rename it to struct tipc_dest_list.

tipc: adjust the policy of holding subscription kref

2017-03-29T01:03:33+00:00

When a new subscription object is inserted into name_seq->subscriptions
list, it's under name_seq->lock protection; when a subscription is
deleted from the list, it's also under the same lock protection;
similarly, when accessing a subscription by going through subscriptions
list, the entire process is also protected by the name_seq->lock.

Therefore, if subscription refcount is increased before it's inserted
into subscriptions list, and its refcount is decreased after it's
deleted from the list, it will be unnecessary to hold refcount at all
before accessing subscription object which is obtained by going through
subscriptions list under name_seq->lock protection.
