Jon Paul Maloy 35c55c9877 tipc: add neighbor monitoring framework
TIPC based clusters are by default set up with full-mesh link
connectivity between all nodes. Those links are expected to provide
a short failure detection time, by default set to 1500 ms. Because
of this, the background load for neighbor monitoring in an N-node
cluster increases with a factor N on each node, while the overall
monitoring traffic through the network infrastructure increases at
a ~(N * (N - 1)) rate. Experience has shown that such clusters don't
scale well beyond ~100 nodes unless we significantly increase failure
discovery tolerance.

This commit introduces a framework and an algorithm that drastically
reduces this background load, while basically maintaining the original
failure detection times across the whole cluster. Using this algorithm,
background load will now grow at a rate of ~(2 * sqrt(N)) per node, and
at ~(2 * N * sqrt(N)) in traffic overhead. As an example, each node will
now have to actively monitor 38 neighbors in a 400-node cluster, instead
of as before 399.

This "Overlapping Ring Supervision Algorithm" is completely distributed
and employs no centralized or coordinated state. It goes as follows:

- Each node makes up a linearly ascending, circular list of all its N
  known neighbors, based on their TIPC node identity. This algorithm
  must be the same on all nodes.

- The node then selects the next M = sqrt(N) - 1 nodes downstream from
  itself in the list, and chooses to actively monitor those. This is
  called its "local monitoring domain".

- It creates a domain record describing the monitoring domain, and
  piggy-backs this in the data area of all neighbor monitoring messages
  (LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE) leaving that node. This means that all nodes in
  the cluster eventually (default within 400 ms) will learn about
  its monitoring domain.

- Whenever a node discovers a change in its local domain, e.g., a node
  has been added or has gone down, it creates and sends out a new
  version of its node record to inform all neighbors about the change.

- A node receiving a domain record from anybody outside its local domain
  matches this against its own list (which may not look the same), and
  chooses to not actively monitor those members of the received domain
  record that are also present in its own list. Instead, it relies on
  indications from the direct monitoring nodes if an indirectly
  monitored node has gone up or down. If a node is indicated lost, the
  receiving node temporarily activates its own direct monitoring towards
  that node in order to confirm, or not, that it is actually gone.

- Since each node is actively monitoring sqrt(N) downstream neighbors,
  each node is also actively monitored by the same number of upstream
  neighbors. This means that all non-direct monitoring nodes normally
  will receive sqrt(N) indications that a node is gone.

- A major drawback with ring monitoring is how it handles failures that
  cause massive network partitionings. If both a lost node and all its
  direct monitoring neighbors are inside the lost partition, the nodes in
  the remaining partition will never receive indications about the loss.
  To overcome this, each node also chooses to actively monitor some
  nodes outside its local domain. Those nodes are called remote domain
  "heads", and are selected in such a way that no node in the cluster
  will be more than two direct monitoring hops away. Because of this,
  each node, apart from monitoring the member of its local domain, will
  also typically monitor sqrt(N) remote head nodes.

- As an optimization, local list status, domain status and domain
  records are marked with a generation number. This saves senders from
  unnecessarily conveying  unaltered domain records, and receivers from
  performing unneeded re-adaptations of their node monitoring list, such
  as re-assigning domain heads.

- As a measure of caution we have added the possibility to disable the
  new algorithm through configuration. We do this by keeping a threshold
  value for the cluster size; a cluster that grows beyond this value
  will switch from full-mesh to ring monitoring, and vice versa when
  it shrinks below the value. This means that if the threshold is set to
  a value larger than any anticipated cluster size (default size is 32)
  the new algorithm is effectively disabled. A patch set for altering the
  threshold value and for listing the table contents will follow shortly.

- This change is fully backwards compatible.

Jon Paul Maloy 5ca509fc0b tipc: change node timer unit from jiffies to ms
The node keepalive interval is recalculated at each timer expiration
to catch any changes in the link tolerance, and stored in a field in
struct tipc_node. We use jiffies as unit for the stored value.

This is suboptimal, because it makes the calculation unnecessary
complex, including two unit conversions. The conversions also lead to
a rounding error that causes the link "abort limit" to be 3 in the
normal case, instead of 4, as intended. This again leads to unnecessary
link resets when the network is pushed close to its limit, e.g., in an
environment with hundreds of nodes or namesapces.

In this commit, we do instead let the keepalive value be calculated and
stored in milliseconds, so that there is only one conversion and the
rounding error is eliminated.

We also remove a redundant "keepalive" field in struct tipc_link. This
is remnant from the previous implementation.

Jon Paul Maloy c4282ca76c tipc: correct error in node fsm
commit 88e8ac7000 ("tipc: reduce transmission rate of reset messages
when link is down") revealed a flaw in the node FSM, as defined in
the log of commit 66996b6c47 ("tipc: extend node FSM").

We see the following scenario:
1: Node B receives a RESET message from node A before its link endpoint
   is fully up, i.e., the node FSM is in state SELF_UP_PEER_COMING. This
   event will not change the node FSM state, but the (distinct) link FSM
   will move to state RESETTING.
2: As an effect of the previous event, the local endpoint on B will
   declare node A lost, and post the event SELF_DOWN to the its node
   FSM. This moves the FSM state to SELF_DOWN_PEER_LEAVING, meaning
   that no messages will be accepted from A until it receives another
   RESET message that confirms that A's endpoint has been reset. This
   is  wasteful, since we know this as a fact already from the first
   received RESET, but worse is that the link instance's FSM has not
   wasted this information, but instead moved on to state ESTABLISHING,
   meaning that it repeatedly sends out ACTIVATE messages to the reset
   peer A.
3: Node A will receive one of the ACTIVATE messages, move its link FSM
   to state ESTABLISHED, and start repeatedly sending out STATE messages
   to node B.
4: Node B will consistently drop these messages, since it can only accept
   accept a RESET according to its node FSM.
5: After four lost STATE messages node A will reset its link and start
   repeatedly sending out RESET messages to B.
6: Because of the reduced send rate for RESET messages, it is very
   likely that A will receive an ACTIVATE (which is sent out at a much
   higher frequency) before it gets the chance to send a RESET, and A
   may hence quickly move back to state ESTABLISHED and continue sending
   out STATE messages, which will again be dropped by B.
7: GOTO 5.
8: After having repeated the cycle 5-7 a number of times, node A will
   by chance get in between with sending a RESET, and the situation is
   resolved.

Unfortunately, we have seen that it may take a substantial amount of
time before this vicious loop is broken, sometimes in the order of
minutes.

We correct this by making a small correction to the node FSM: When a
node in state SELF_UP_PEER_COMING receives a SELF_DOWN event, it now
moves directly back to state SELF_DOWN_PEER_DOWN, instead of as now
SELF_DOWN_PEER_LEAVING. This is logically consistent, since we don't
need to wait for RESET confirmation from of an endpoint that we alread
know has been reset. It also means that node B in the scenario above
will not be dropping incoming STATE messages, and the link can come up
immediately.

Finally, a symmetry comparison reveals that the  FSM has a similar
error when receiving the event PEER_DOWN in state PEER_UP_SELF_COMING.
Instead of moving to PERR_DOWN_SELF_LEAVING, it should move directly
to SELF_DOWN_PEER_DOWN. Although we have never seen any negative effect
of this logical error, we choose fix this one, too.

The node FSM looks as follows after those changes:

Jon Paul Maloy e7142c341c tipc: eliminate risk of double link_up events
When an ACTIVATE or data packet is received in a link in state
ESTABLISHING, the link does not immediately change state to
ESTABLISHED, but does instead return a LINK_UP event to the caller,
which will execute the state change in a different lock context.

This non-atomic approach incurs a low risk that we may have two
LINK_UP events pending simultaneously for the same link, resulting
in the final part of the setup procedure being executed twice. The
only potential harm caused by this it that we may see two LINK_UP
events issued to subsribers of the topology server, something that
may cause confusion.

This commit eliminates this risk by checking if the link is already
up before proceeding with the second half of the setup.

Jon Paul Maloy 10724cc7bb tipc: redesign connection-level flow control
There are two flow control mechanisms in TIPC; one at link level that
handles network congestion, burst control, and retransmission, and one
at connection level which' only remaining task is to prevent overflow
in the receiving socket buffer. In TIPC, the latter task has to be
solved end-to-end because messages can not be thrown away once they
have been accepted and delivered upwards from the link layer, i.e, we
can never permit the receive buffer to overflow.

Currently, this algorithm is message based. A counter in the receiving
socket keeps track of number of consumed messages, and sends a dedicated
acknowledge message back to the sender for each 256 consumed message.
A counter at the sending end keeps track of the sent, not yet
acknowledged messages, and blocks the sender if this number ever reaches
512 unacknowledged messages. When the missing acknowledge arrives, the
socket is then woken up for renewed transmission. This works well for
keeping the message flow running, as it almost never happens that a
sender socket is blocked this way.

A problem with the current mechanism is that it potentially is very
memory consuming. Since we don't distinguish between small and large
messages, we have to dimension the socket receive buffer according
to a worst-case of both. I.e., the window size must be chosen large
enough to sustain a reasonable throughput even for the smallest
messages, while we must still consider a scenario where all messages
are of maximum size. Hence, the current fix window size of 512 messages
and a maximum message size of 66k results in a receive buffer of 66 MB
when truesize(66k) = 131k is taken into account. It is possible to do
much better.

This commit introduces an algorithm where we instead use 1024-byte
blocks as base unit. This unit, always rounded upwards from the
actual message size, is used when we advertise windows as well as when
we count and acknowledge transmitted data. The advertised window is
based on the configured receive buffer size in such a way that even
the worst-case truesize/msgsize ratio always is covered. Since the
smallest possible message size (from a flow control viewpoint) now is
1024 bytes, we can safely assume this ratio to be less than four, which
is the value we are now using.

This way, we have been able to reduce the default receive buffer size
from 66 MB to 2 MB with maintained performance.

In order to keep this solution backwards compatible, we introduce a
new capability bit in the discovery protocol, and use this throughout
the message sending/reception path to always select the right unit.

Jon Paul Maloy 60020e1857 tipc: propagate peer node capabilities to socket layer
During neighbor discovery, nodes advertise their capabilities as a bit
map in a dedicated 16-bit field in the discovery message header. This
bit map has so far only be stored in the node structure on the peer
nodes, but we now see the need to keep a copy even in the socket
structure.

This commit adds this functionality.

Jon Paul Maloy 7c8bcfb125 tipc: re-enable compensation for socket receive buffer double counting
In the refactoring commit d570d86497 ("tipc: enqueue arrived buffers
in socket in separate function") we did by accident replace the test

if (sk->sk_backlog.len == 0)
     atomic_set(&tsk->dupl_rcvcnt, 0);

with

if (sk->sk_backlog.len)
     atomic_set(&tsk->dupl_rcvcnt, 0);

This effectively disables the compensation we have for the double
receive buffer accounting that occurs temporarily when buffers are
moved from the backlog to the socket receive queue. Until now, this
has gone unnoticed because of the large receive buffer limits we are
applying, but becomes indispensable when we reduce this buffer limit
later in this series.

We now fix this by inverting the mentioned condition.

Hamish Martin efe790502b tipc: only process unicast on intended node
We have observed complete lock up of broadcast-link transmission due to
unacknowledged packets never being removed from the 'transmq' queue. This
is traced to nodes having their ack field set beyond the sequence number
of packets that have actually been transmitted to them.
Consider an example where node 1 has sent 10 packets to node 2 on a
link and node 3 has sent 20 packets to node 2 on another link. We
see examples of an ack from node 2 destined for node 3 being treated as
an ack from node 2 at node 1. This leads to the ack on the node 1 to node
2 link being increased to 20 even though we have only sent 10 packets.
When node 1 does get around to sending further packets, none of the
packets with sequence numbers less than 21 are actually removed from the
transmq.
To resolve this we reinstate some code lost in commit d999297c3d ("tipc:
reduce locking scope during packet reception") which ensures that only
messages destined for the receiving node are processed by that node. This
prevents the sequence numbers from getting out of sync and resolves the
packet leakage, thereby resolving the broadcast-link transmission
lock-ups we observed.

While we are aware that this change only patches over a root problem that
we still haven't identified, this is a sanity test that it is always
legitimate to do. It will remain in the code even after we identify and

Jon Paul Maloy def22c47d7 tipc: set 'active' state correctly for first established link
When we are displaying statistics for the first link established between
two peers, it will always be presented as STANDBY although it in reality
is ACTIVE.

This happens because we forget to set the 'active' flag in the link
instance at the moment it is established. Although this is a bug, it only
has impact on the presentation view of the link, not on its actual
functionality.

Commit 42b18f605f ("tipc: refactor function tipc_link_timeout()"),
introduced a bug which prevents sending of probe messages during
link synchronization phase. This leads to hanging links, if the
bearer is disabled/enabled after links are up.

Jon Paul Maloy 34b9cd64c8 tipc: let first message on link be a state message
According to the link FSM, a received traffic packet can take a link
from state ESTABLISHING to ESTABLISHED, but the link can still not be
fully set up in one atomic operation. This means that even if the the
very first packet on the link is a traffic packet with sequence number
1 (one), it has to be dropped and retransmitted.

This can be avoided if we let the mentioned packet be preceded by a
LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE message, which takes up the endpoint before the
arrival of the traffic.

We add this small feature in this commit.

This is a fully compatible change.

In some link establishment scenarios we see that packet #2 may be sent
out before packet #1, forcing the receiver to demand retransmission of
the missing packet. This is harmless, but may cause confusion among

Since this is extremely easy to fix, we do so by adding en extra send
call to the bearer immediately after the link has come up.

Jon Paul Maloy 88e8ac7000 tipc: reduce transmission rate of reset messages when link is down
When a link is down, it will continuously try to re-establish contact
with the peer by sending out a RESET or an ACTIVATE message at each
timeout interval. The default value for this interval is currently
375 ms. This is wasteful, and may become a problem in very large
clusters with dozens or hundreds of nodes being down simultaneously.

We now introduce a simple backoff algorithm for these cases. The
first five messages are sent at default rate; thereafter a message
is sent only each 16th timer interval.

This will cover the vast majority of link recycling cases, since the
endpoint starting last will transmit at the higher speed, and the link
should normally be established well be before the rate needs to be
reduced.

The only case where we will see a degradation of link re-establishment
times is when the endpoints remain intact, and a glitch in the
transmission media is causing the link reset. We will then experience
a worst-case re-establishing time of 6 seconds, something we deem
acceptable.

Jon Paul Maloy 634696b197 tipc: guarantee peer bearer id exchange after reboot
When a link endpoint is going down locally, e.g., because its interface
is being stopped, it will spontaneously send out a RESET message to
its peer, informing it about this fact. This saves the peer from
detecting the failure via probing, and hence gives both speedier and
less resource consuming failure detection on the peer side.

According to the link FSM, a receiver of a RESET message, ignoring the
reason for it, must now consider the sender ready to come back up, and
starts periodically sending out ACTIVATE messages to the peer in order
to re-establish the link. Also, according to the FSM, the receiver of
an ACTIVATE message can now go directly to state ESTABLISHED and start
sending regular traffic packets. This is a well-proven and robust FSM.

However, in the case of a reboot, there is a small possibilty that link
endpoint on the rebooted node may have been re-created with a new bearer
identity between the moment it sent its (pre-boot) RESET and the moment
it receives the ACTIVATE from the peer. The new bearer identity cannot
be known by the peer according to this scenario, since traffic headers
don't convey such information. This is a problem, because both endpoints
need to know the correct value of the peer's bearer id at any moment in
time in order to be able to produce correct link events for their users.

The only way to guarantee this is to enforce a full setup message
exchange (RESET + ACTIVATE) even after the reboot, since those messages
carry the bearer idientity in their header.

In this commit we do this by introducing and setting a "stopping" bit in
the header of the spontaneously generated RESET messages, informing the
peer that the sender will not be immediately ready to re-establish the
link. A receiver seeing this bit must act as if this were a locally
detected connectivity failure, and hence has to go through a full two-
way setup message exchange before any link can be re-established.

Although never reported, this problem seems to have always been around.

This protocol addition is fully backwards compatible.

Parthasarathy Bhuvaragan 333f796235 tipc: fix a race condition leading to subscriber refcnt bug
Until now, the requests sent to topology server are queued
to a workqueue by the generic server framework.
These messages are processed by worker threads and trigger the
registered callbacks.
To reduce latency on uniprocessor systems, explicit rescheduling
is performed using cond_resched() after MAX_RECV_MSG_COUNT(25)
messages.

This implementation on SMP systems leads to an subscriber refcnt
error as described below:
When a worker thread yields by calling cond_resched() in a SMP
system, a new worker is created on another CPU to process the
pending workitem. Sometimes the sleeping thread wakes up before
the new thread finishes execution.
This breaks the assumption on ordering and being single threaded.
The fault is more frequent when MAX_RECV_MSG_COUNT is lowered.

If the first thread was processing subscription create and the
second thread processing close(), the close request will free
the subscriber and the create request oops as follows:

Jon Paul Maloy 5b7066c3dd tipc: stricter filtering of packets in bearer layer
Resetting a bearer/interface, with the consequence of resetting all its
pertaining links, is not an atomic action. This becomes particularly
evident in very large clusters, where a lot of traffic may happen on the
remaining links while we are busy shutting them down. In extreme cases,
we may even see links being re-created and re-established before we are
finished with the job.

To solve this, we now introduce a solution where we temporarily detach
the bearer from the interface when the bearer is reset. This inhibits
all packet reception, while sending still is possible. For the latter,
we use the fact that the device's user pointer now is zero to filter out
which packets can be sent during this situation; i.e., outgoing RESET
messages only.  This filtering serves to speed up the neighbors'
detection of the loss event, and saves us from unnecessary probing.

Jon Paul Maloy 4e801fa14f tipc: eliminate buffer leak in bearer layer
When enabling a bearer we create a 'neigbor discoverer' instance by
calling the function tipc_disc_create() before the bearer is actually
registered in the list of enabled bearers. Because of this, the very
first discovery broadcast message, created by the mentioned function,
is lost, since it cannot find any valid bearer to use. Furthermore,
the used send function, tipc_bearer_xmit_skb() does not free the given
buffer when it cannot find a  bearer, resulting in the leak of exactly
one send buffer each time a bearer is enabled.

This commit fixes this problem by introducing two changes:

1) Instead of attemting to send the discovery message directly, we let
   tipc_disc_create() return the discovery buffer to the calling
   function, tipc_enable_bearer(), so that the latter can send it
   when the enabling sequence is finished.

2) In tipc_bearer_xmit_skb(), as well as in the two other transmit
   functions at the bearer layer, we now free the indicated buffer or
   buffer chain when a valid bearer cannot be found.

reverts commit 94153e36e7 ("tipc: use existing sk_write_queue for
outgoing packet chain")

In Commit 94153e36e7, we assume that we fill & empty the socket's
sk_write_queue within the same lock_sock() session.

This is not true if the link is congested. During congestion, the
socket lock is released while we wait for the congestion to cease.
This implementation causes a nullptr exception, if the user space
program has several threads accessing the same socket descriptor.

Consider two threads of the same program performing the following:
     Thread1                                  Thread2
--------------------                    ----------------------
Enter tipc_sendmsg()                    Enter tipc_sendmsg()
lock_sock()                             lock_sock()
Enter tipc_link_xmit(), ret=ELINKCONG   spin on socket lock..
sk_wait_event()                             :
release_sock()                          grab socket lock
    :                                   Enter tipc_link_xmit(), ret=0
    :                                   release_sock()
Wakeup after congestion
lock_sock()
skb = skb_peek(pktchain);
!! TIPC_SKB_CB(skb)->wakeup_pending = tsk->link_cong;

In this case, the second thread transmits the buffers belonging to
both thread1 and thread2 successfully. When the first thread wakeup
after the congestion it assumes that the pktchain is intact and
operates on the skb's in it, which leads to the following exception:

Jon Paul Maloy d25a01257e tipc: fix crash during node removal
When the TIPC module is unloaded, we have identified a race condition
that allows a node reference counter to go to zero and the node instance
being freed before the node timer is finished with accessing it. This
leads to occasional crashes, especially in multi-namespace environments.

The scenario goes as follows:

CPU0:(node_stop)                       CPU1:(node_timeout)  // ref == 2

1:                                          if(!mod_timer())
2: if (del_timer())
3:   tipc_node_put()                                        // ref -> 1
4: tipc_node_put()                                          // ref -> 0
5:   kfree_rcu(node);
6:                                               tipc_node_get(node)
7:                                               // BOOM!

We now clean up this functionality as follows:

1) We remove the node pointer from the node lookup table before we
   attempt deactivating the timer. This way, we reduce the risk that
   tipc_node_find() may obtain a valid pointer to an instance marked
   for deletion; a harmless but undesirable situation.

2) We use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() to safely deactivate
   the node timer without any risk that it might be reactivated by the
   timeout handler. There is no risk of deadlock here, since the two
   functions never touch the same spinlocks.

3: We remove a pointless tipc_node_get() + tipc_node_put() from the
   timeout handler.

Jon Paul Maloy b170997ace tipc: eliminate risk of finding to-be-deleted node instance
Although we have never seen it happen, we have identified the
following problematic scenario when nodes are stopped and deleted:

CPU0:                            CPU1:

tipc_node_xxx()                                   //ref == 1
   tipc_node_put()                                //ref -> 0
                                 tipc_node_find() // node still in table
       tipc_node_delete()
         list_del_rcu(n. list)
                                 tipc_node_get()  //ref -> 1, bad
         kfree_rcu()

                                 tipc_node_put() //ref to 0 again.
                                 kfree_rcu()     // BOOM!

We fix this by introducing use of the conditional kref_get_if_not_zero()
instead of kref_get() in the function tipc_node_find(). This eliminates
any risk of post-mortem access.

Nothing wrong with it; its no longer needed since this was only for
mmapped netlink support.
