tipc: eliminate KASAN warning

2017-10-26T00:38:34+00:00

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.

tipc: add functionality to lookup multicast destination nodes

2017-01-20T17:10:16+00:00

As a further preparation for the upcoming 'replicast' functionality,
we add some necessary structs and functions for looking up and returning
a list of all nodes that host destinations for a given multicast message.

tipc: modify struct tipc_plist to be more versatile

2017-01-03T16:13:05+00:00

During multicast reception we currently use a simple linked list with
push/pop semantics to store port numbers.

We now see a need for a more generic list for storing values of type
u32. We therefore make some modifications to this list, while replacing
the prefix 'tipc_plist_' with 'u32_'. We also add a couple of new
functions which will come to use in the next commits.

tipc: remove struct tipc_name_seq from struct tipc_subscription

2016-02-06T08:40:43+00:00

Until now, struct tipc_subscriber has duplicate fields for
type, upper and lower (as member of struct tipc_name_seq) at:
1. as member seq in struct tipc_subscription
2. as member seq in struct tipc_subscr, which is contained
   in struct tipc_event
The former structure contains the type, upper and lower
values in network byte order and the later contains the
intact copy of the request.
The struct tipc_subscription contains a field swap to
determine if request needs network byte order conversion.
Thus by using swap, we can convert the request when
required instead of duplicating it.

In this commit,
1. we remove the references to these elements as members of
   struct tipc_subscription and replace them with elements
   from struct tipc_subscr.
2. provide new functions to convert the user request into
   network byte order.

tipc: reduce code dependency between binding table and node layer

2015-11-20T19:06:10+00:00

The file name_distr.c currently contains three functions,
named_cluster_distribute(), tipc_publ_subcscribe() and
tipc_publ_unsubscribe() that all directly access fields in
struct tipc_node. We want to eliminate such dependencies, so
we move those functions to the file node.c and rename them to
tipc_node_broadcast(), tipc_node_subscribe() and tipc_node_unsubscribe()
respectively.
