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: nl compat add noop and remove legacy nl framework

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

Add TIPC_CMD_NOOP to compat layer and remove the old framework.

All legacy nl commands are now converted to the compat layer in
netlink_compat.c.

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 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.

tipc: make tipc socket support net namespace

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

Now tipc socket table is statically allocated as a global variable.
Through it, we can look up one socket instance with port ID, insert
a new socket instance to the table, and delete a socket from the
table. But when tipc supports net namespace, each namespace must own
its specific socket table. So the global variable of socket table
must be redefined in tipc_net structure. As a concequence, a new
socket table will be allocated when a new namespace is created, and
a socket table will be deallocated when namespace is destroyed.

tipc: make tipc broadcast link support net namespace

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

TIPC broadcast link is statically established and its relevant states
are maintained with the global variables: "bcbearer", "bclink" and
"bcl". Allowing different namespace to own different broadcast link
instances, these variables must be moved to tipc_net structure and
broadcast link instances would be allocated and initialized when
namespace is created.

tipc: make bearer list support net namespace

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

Bearer list defined as a global variable is used to store bearer
instances. When tipc supports net namespace, bearers created in
one namespace must be isolated with others allocated in other
namespaces, which requires us that the bearer list(bearer_list)
must be moved to tipc_net structure. As a result, a net namespace
pointer has to be passed to functions which access the bearer list.

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.
