tipc: obtain node identity from interface by default

2018-03-23T17:12:18+00:00

Selecting and explicitly configuring a TIPC node identity may be
unwanted in some cases.

In this commit we introduce a default setting if the identity has not
been set at the moment the first bearer is enabled. We do this by
using a raw copy of a unique identifier from the used interface: MAC
address in the case of an L2 bearer, IPv4/IPv6 address in the case
of a UDP bearer.

tipc: add 128-bit node identifier

2018-03-23T17:12:18+00:00

We add a 128-bit node identity, as an alternative to the currently used
32-bit node address.

For the sake of compatibility and to minimize message header changes
we retain the existing 32-bit address field. When not set explicitly by
the user, this field will be filled with a hash value generated from the
much longer node identity, and be used as a shorthand value for the
latter.

We permit either the address or the identity to be set by configuration,
but not both, so when the address value is set by a legacy user the
corresponding 128-bit node identity is generated based on the that value.

tipc: add peer removal functionality

2016-08-19T06:36:07+00:00

Add TIPC_NL_PEER_REMOVE netlink command. This command can remove
an offline peer node from the internal data structures.

This will be supported by the tipc user space tool in iproute2.

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.

tipc: involve namespace infrastructure

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

Involve namespace infrastructure, make the "tipc_net_id" global
variable aware of per namespace, and rename it to "net_id". In
order that the conversion can be successfully done, an instance
of networking namespace must be passed to relevant functions,
allowing them to access the "net_id" variable of per namespace.

tipc: same receive code path for connection protocol and data messages

2014-06-27T19:50:56+00:00

As a preparation to eliminate port_lock we need to bring reception
of connection protocol messages under proper protection of bh_lock_sock
or socket owner.

We fix this by letting those messages follow the same code path as
incoming data messages.

As a side effect of this change, the last reference to the function
net_route_msg() disappears, and we can eliminate that function.

tipc: convert allocations of global variables associated with bclink

2014-05-05T21:26:45+00:00

Convert allocations of global variables associated with bclink from
static way to dynamical way for the convenience of bclink instance
initialisation. Meanwhile, this also helps TIPC support name space
