tipc: fix a potential oops

2014-08-30T03:22:43+00:00

Commit 6c9808ce09f7 ("tipc: remove port_lock") accidentally involves
a potential bug: when tipc socket instance(tsk) is not got with given
reference number in tipc_sk_get(), tsk is set to NULL. Subsequently
we jump to exit label where to decrease socket reference counter
pointed by tsk pointer in tipc_sk_put(). However, As now tsk is NULL,
oops may happen because of touching a NULL pointer.

tipc: merge struct tipc_port into struct tipc_sock

2014-08-23T18:18:35+00:00

We complete the merging of the port and socket layer by aggregating
the fields of struct tipc_port directly into struct tipc_sock, and
moving the combined structure into socket.c.

We also move all functions and macros that are not any longer
exposed to the rest of the stack into socket.c, and rename them
accordingly.

Despite the size of this commit, there are no functional changes.
We have only made such changes that are necessary due of the removal
of struct tipc_port.

tipc: remove files ref.h and ref.c

2014-08-23T18:18:35+00:00

The reference table is now 'socket aware' instead of being generic,
and has in reality become a socket internal table. In order to be
able to minimize the API exposed by the socket layer towards the rest
of the stack, we now move the reference table definitions and functions
into the file socket.c, and rename the functions accordingly.

There are no functional changes in this commit.

tipc: remove include file port.h

2014-08-23T18:18:35+00:00

We move the inline functions in the file port.h to socket.c, and modify
their names accordingly.

We move struct tipc_port and some macros to socket.h.

Finally, we remove the file port.h.

tipc: remove source file port.c

2014-08-23T18:18:35+00:00

In this commit, we move the remaining functions in port.c to
socket.c, and give them new names that correspond to their new
location. We then remove the file port.c.

There are only cosmetic changes to the moved functions.

tipc: remove port_lock

2014-08-23T18:18:34+00:00

In previous commits we have reduced usage of port_lock to a minimum,
and complemented it with usage of bh_lock_sock() at the remaining
locations. The purpose has been to remove this lock altogether, since
it largely duplicates the role of bh_lock_sock. We are now ready to do
this.

However, we still need to protect the BH callers from inadvertent
release of the socket while they hold a reference to it. We do this by
replacing port_lock by a combination of a rw-lock protecting the
reference table as such, and updating the socket reference counter while
the socket is referenced from BH. This technique is more standard and
comprehensible than the previous approach, and turns out to have a
positive effect on overall performance.

tipc: replace port pointer with socket pointer in registry

2014-08-23T18:18:34+00:00

In order to make tipc_sock the only entity referencable from other
parts of the stack, we add a tipc_sock pointer instead of a tipc_port
pointer to the registry. As a consequence, we also let the function
tipc_port_lock() return a pointer to a tipc_sock instead  of a tipc_port.
We keep the function's name for now, since the lock still is owned by
the port.

This is another step in the direction of eliminating port_lock, replacing
its usage with lock_sock() and bh_lock_sock().

tipc: use registry when scanning sockets

2014-08-23T18:18:34+00:00

The functions tipc_port_get_ports() and tipc_port_reinit() scan over
all sockets/ports to access each of them. This is done by using a
dedicated linked list, 'tipc_socks' where all sockets are members. The
list is in turn protected by a spinlock, 'port_list_lock', while each
socket is locked by using port_lock at the moment of access.

In order to reduce complexity and risk of deadlock, we want to get
rid of the linked list and the accompanying spinlock.

This is what we do in this commit. Instead of the linked list, we use
the port registry to scan across the sockets. We also add usage of
bh_lock_sock() inside the scope of port_lock in both functions, as a
preparation for the complete removal of port_lock.

Finally, we move the functions from port.c to socket.c, and rename them
to tipc_sk_sock_show() and tipc_sk_reinit() repectively.

tipc: eliminate functions tipc_port_init and tipc_port_destroy

2014-08-23T18:18:34+00:00

After the latest changes to the socket/port layer the existence of
the functions tipc_port_init() and tipc_port_destroy() cannot be
justified. They are both called only once, from tipc_sk_create() and
tipc_sk_delete() respectively, and their functionality can better be
merged into the latter two functions.

This also entails that all remaining references to port_lock now are
made from inside socket.c, something that will make it easier to remove
this lock.

tipc: redefine message acknowledge function

2014-08-23T18:18:34+00:00

The function tipc_acknowledge() is a remnant from the obsolete native
API. Currently, it grabs port_lock, before building an acknowledge
message and sending it to the peer.

Since all access to socket members now is protected by the socket lock,
it has become unnecessary to grab port_lock here.

In this commit, we remove the usage of port_lock, simplify the
function, and move it to socket.c, renaming it to tipc_sk_send_ack().
