tipc: create broadcast transmission link at namespace init

2015-10-24T13:56:27+00:00

The broadcast transmission link is currently instantiated when the
network subsystem is started, i.e., on order from user space via netlink.

This forces the broadcast transmission code to do unnecessary tests for
the existence of the transmission link, as well in single mode node as
in network mode.

In this commit, we do instead create the link during initialization of
the name space, and remove it when it is stopped. The fact that the
transmission link now has a guaranteed longer life cycle than any of its
potential clients paves the way for further code simplifcations
and optimizations.

tipc: move bcast definitions to bcast.c

2015-10-24T13:56:24+00:00

Currently, a number of structure and function definitions related
to the broadcast functionality are unnecessarily exposed in the file
bcast.h. This obscures the fact that the external interface towards
the broadcast link in fact is very narrow, and causes unnecessary
recompilations of other files when anything changes in those
definitions.

In this commit, we move as many of those definitions as is currently
possible to the file bcast.c.

We also rename the structure 'tipc_bclink' to 'tipc_bc_base', both
since the name does not correctly describe the contents of this
struct, and will do so even less in the future, and because we want
to use the term 'link' more appropriately in the functionality
introduced later in this series.

Finally, we rename a couple of functions, such as tipc_bclink_xmit()
and others that will be kept in the future, to include the term 'bcast'
instead.

There are no functional changes in this commit.

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.

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.

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.
