tipc: prevent dropped connections due to rcvbuf overflow

2012-10-04T19:53:48+00:00

When large buffers are sent over connected TIPC sockets, it
is likely that the sk_backlog will be filled up on the
receiver side, but the TIPC flow control mechanism is happily
unaware of this since that is based on message count.

The sender will receive a TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD message when this occurs
and drop it's side of the connection, leaving it stale on
the receiver end.

By increasing the sk_rcvbuf to a 'worst case' value, we avoid the
overload caused by a full backlog queue and the flow control
will work properly.

This worst case value is the max TIPC message size times
the flow control window, multiplied by two because a sender
will transmit up to double the window size before a port is marked
congested.
We multiply this by 2 to account for the sk_buff and other overheads.

netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion

2012-09-10T19:30:41+00:00

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

tipc: eliminate configuration for maximum number of name publications

2012-08-20T09:26:31+00:00

Gets rid of the need for users to specify the maximum number of
name publications supported by TIPC. TIPC now automatically provides
support for the maximum number of name publications to 65535.

tipc: add __read_mostly annotations to several global variables

2012-08-20T09:26:31+00:00

Added to the following:

 - tipc_random
 - tipc_own_addr
 - tipc_max_ports
 - tipc_net_id
 - tipc_remote_management
 - handler_enabled

The above global variables are read often, but written rarely. Use
__read_mostly to prevent them being on the same cacheline as another
variable which is written to often, which would cause cacheline
bouncing.

tipc: convert tipc_nametbl_size type from variable to macro

2012-08-20T09:26:31+00:00

There is nothing changing this variable dynamically, so change
it to a macro to make that more obvious when reading the code.

tipc: change tipc_net_start routine return value type

2012-08-20T09:26:30+00:00

Since now tipc_net_start() always returns a success code - 0, its
return value type should be changed from integer to void, which can
avoid unnecessary check for its return value.

tipc: manually inline single use media_name_valid routine

2012-08-20T09:26:30+00:00

After eliminating the mechanism which checks whether all letters
in media name string are within a given character set, the
media_name_valid routine becomes trivial.  It is also only
used once, so it is unnecessary to keep it as a separate function.

tipc: remove pointless name sanity check and tipc_alphabet array

2012-08-20T09:26:30+00:00

There is no real reason to check whether all letters in the given
media name and network interface name are within the character set
defined in tipc_alphabet array. Even if we eliminate the checking,
the rest of checking conditions in tipc_enable_bearer() can ensure
we do not enable an invalid or illegal bearer.
