When we get link properties through netlink interface with
tipc_nl_node_get_link(), we don't validate TIPC_NLA_LINK_NAME
attribute at all, instead we directly use it. As a consequence,
KMSAN detected the TIPC_NLA_LINK_NAME attribute was an uninitialized
value, and then posted the following complaint:

Commit 36a50a989ee8 ("tipc: fix infinite loop when dumping link monitor
summary") intended to fix a problem with user tool looping when max
number of bearers are enabled.

Unfortunately, the wrong version of the commit was posted, so the
problem was not solved at all.

This commit adds the missing part.

When configuring the number of used bearers to MAX_BEARER and issuing
command "tipc link monitor summary", the command enters infinite loop
in user space.

This issue happens because function tipc_nl_node_dump_monitor() returns
the wrong 'prev_bearer' value when all potential monitors have been
scanned.

The correct behavior is to always try to scan all monitors until either
the netlink message is full, in which case we return the bearer identity
of the affected monitor, or we continue through the whole bearer array
until we can return MAX_BEARERS. This solution also caters for the case
where there may be gaps in the bearer array.

<title>tipc: permit overlapping service ranges in name table</title>

<content type='text'>
With the new RB tree structure for service ranges it becomes possible to
solve an old problem; - we can now allow overlapping service ranges in
the table.

When inserting a new service range to the tree, we use 'lower' as primary
key, and when necessary 'upper' as secondary key.

Since there may now be multiple service ranges matching an indicated
'lower' value, we must also add the 'upper' value to the functions
used for removing publications, so that the correct, corresponding
range item can be found.

These changes guarantee that a well-formed publication/withdrawal item
from a peer node never will be rejected, and make it possible to
eliminate the problematic backlog functionality we currently have for
handling such cases.

<title>tipc: replace name table service range array with rb tree</title>

<id>218527fe27adaebeb81eb770459eb335517e90ee</id>
<content type='text'>
The current design of the binding table has an unnecessary memory
consuming and complex data structure. It aggregates the service range
items into an array, which is expanded by a factor two every time it
becomes too small to hold a new item. Furthermore, the arrays never
shrink when the number of ranges diminishes.

We now replace this array with an RB tree that is holding the range
items as tree nodes, each range directly holding a list of bindings.

This, along with a few name changes, improves both readability and
volume of the code, as well as reducing memory consumption and hopefully
improving cache hit rate.

<title>tipc: handle collisions of 32-bit node address hash values</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=25b0b9c4e835ffaa65b61c3efe2e28acf84d0259'/>
<id>25b0b9c4e835ffaa65b61c3efe2e28acf84d0259</id>
<content type='text'>
When a 32-bit node address is generated from a 128-bit identifier,
there is a risk of collisions which must be discovered and handled.

We do this as follows:
- We don't apply the generated address immediately to the node, but do
  instead initiate a 1 sec trial period to allow other cluster members
  to discover and handle such collisions.

- During the trial period the node periodically sends out a new type
  of message, DSC_TRIAL_MSG, using broadcast or emulated broadcast,
  to all the other nodes in the cluster.

- When a node is receiving such a message, it must check that the
  presented 32-bit identifier either is unused, or was used by the very
  same peer in a previous session. In both cases it accepts the request
  by not responding to it.

- If it finds that the same node has been up before using a different
  address, it responds with a DSC_TRIAL_FAIL_MSG containing that
  address.

- If it finds that the address has already been taken by some other
  node, it generates a new, unused address and returns it to the
  requester.

- During the trial period the requesting node must always be prepared
  to accept a failure message, i.e., a message where a peer suggests a
  different (or equal)  address to the one tried. In those cases it
  must apply the suggested value as trial address and restart the trial
  period.

This algorithm ensures that in the vast majority of cases a node will
have the same address before and after a reboot. If a legacy user
configures the address explicitly, there will be no trial period and
messages, so this protocol addition is completely backwards compatible.

When a 32-bit node address is generated from a 128-bit identifier,
there is a risk of collisions which must be discovered and handled.

We do this as follows:
- We don't apply the generated address immediately to the node, but do
  instead initiate a 1 sec trial period to allow other cluster members
  to discover and handle such collisions.

- During the trial period the node periodically sends out a new type
  of message, DSC_TRIAL_MSG, using broadcast or emulated broadcast,
  to all the other nodes in the cluster.

- When a node is receiving such a message, it must check that the
  presented 32-bit identifier either is unused, or was used by the very
  same peer in a previous session. In both cases it accepts the request
  by not responding to it.

- If it finds that the same node has been up before using a different
  address, it responds with a DSC_TRIAL_FAIL_MSG containing that
  address.

- If it finds that the address has already been taken by some other
  node, it generates a new, unused address and returns it to the
  requester.

- During the trial period the requesting node must always be prepared
  to accept a failure message, i.e., a message where a peer suggests a
  different (or equal)  address to the one tried. In those cases it
  must apply the suggested value as trial address and restart the trial
  period.

This algorithm ensures that in the vast majority of cases a node will
have the same address before and after a reboot. If a legacy user
configures the address explicitly, there will be no trial period and
messages, so this protocol addition is completely backwards compatible.

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.

<title>tipc: remove restrictions on node address values</title>

Nominally, TIPC organizes network nodes into a three-level network
hierarchy consisting of the levels 'zone', 'cluster' and 'node'. This
hierarchy is reflected in the node address format, - it is sub-divided
into an 8-bit zone id, and 12 bit cluster id, and a 12-bit node id.

However, the 'zone' and 'cluster' levels have in reality never been
fully implemented,and never will be. The result of this has been
that the first 20 bits the node identity structure have been wasted,
and the usable node identity range within a cluster has been limited
to 12 bits. This is starting to become a problem.

In the following commits, we will need to be able to connect between
nodes which are using the whole 32-bit value space of the node address.
We therefore remove the restrictions on which values can be assigned
to node identity, -it is from now on only a 32-bit integer with no
assumed internal structure.

Isolation between clusters is now achieved only by setting different
values for the 'network id' field used during neighbor discovery, in
practice leading to the latter becoming the new cluster identity.

The rules for accepting discovery requests/responses from neighboring
nodes now become:

- If the user is using legacy address format on both peers, reception
  of discovery messages is subject to the legacy lookup domain check
  in addition to the cluster id check.

- Otherwise, the discovery request/response is always accepted, provided
  both peers have the same network id.

This secures backwards compatibility for users who have been using zone
or cluster identities as cluster separators, instead of the intended
'network id'.

<title>tipc: apply bearer link tolerance on running links</title>

Currently, the default link tolerance set in struct tipc_bearer only
has effect on links going up after that moment. I.e., a user has to
reset all the node's links across that bearer to have the new value
applied. This is too limiting and disturbing on a running cluster to
be useful.

We now change this so that also already existing links are updated
dynamically, without any need for a reset, when the bearer value is
changed. We leverage the already existing per-link functionality
for this to achieve the wanted effect.
