The duplicate address discovery protocol is not safe against two
discoverers running in parallel. The one executing first after the
trial period is over will set the node address and change its own
message type to DSC_REQ_MSG. The one executing last may find that the
node address is already set, and never change message type, with the
result that its links may never be established.
In this commmit we ensure that the message type always is set correctly
after the trial period is over.

With the duplicate address discovery protocol for tipc nodes addresses
we introduced a one second trial period before a node is allocated a
hash number to use as address.
Unfortunately, we miss to handle the case when a regular LINK REQUEST/
RESPONSE arrives from a cluster node during the trial period. Such
messages are not ignored as they should be, leading to links setup
attempts while the node still has no address.

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.

The removal of an internal structure of the node address has an unwanted
side effect.
- Currently, if a user is sending an anycast message with destination
domain 0, the tipc_namebl_translate() function will use the 'closest-
first' algorithm to first look for a node local destination, and only
when no such is found, will it resort to the cluster global 'round-
robin' lookup algorithm.
- Current users can get around this, and enforce unconditional use of
global round-robin by indicating a destination as Z.0.0 or Z.C.0.
- This option disappears when we make the node address flat, since the
lookup algorithm has no way of recognizing this case. So, as long as
there are node local destinations, the algorithm will always select
one of those, and there is nothing the sender can do to change this.
We solve this by eliminating the 'closest-first' option, which was never
a good idea anyway, for non-legacy users, but only for those. To
distinguish between legacy users and non-legacy users we introduce a new
flag 'legacy_addr_format' in struct tipc_core, to be set when the user
configures a legacy-style Z.C.N node address. Hence, when a legacy user
indicates a zero lookup domain 'closest-first' is selected, and in all
other cases we use 'round-robin'.

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'.

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.

TIPC node hash node table is protected with rcu lock on read side.
tipc_node_find() is used to look for a node object with node address
through iterating the hash node table. As the entire process of what
tipc_node_find() traverses the table is guarded with rcu read lock,
it's safe for us. However, when callers use the node object returned
by tipc_node_find(), there is no rcu read lock applied. Therefore,
this is absolutely unsafe for callers of tipc_node_find().
Now we introduce a reference counter for node structure. Before
tipc_node_find() returns node object to its caller, it first increases
the reference counter. Accordingly, after its caller used it up,
it decreases the counter again. This can prevent a node being used by
one thread from being freed by another thread.

The most common usage of namespace information is when we fetch the
own node addess from the net structure. This leads to a lot of
passing around of a parameter of type 'struct net *' between
functions just to make them able to obtain this address.
However, in many cases this is unnecessary. The own node address
is readily available as a member of both struct tipc_sock and
tipc_link, and can be fetched from there instead.
The fact that the vast majority of functions in socket.c and link.c
anyway are maintaining a pointer to their respective base structures
makes this option even more compelling.
In this commit, we introduce the inline functions tsk_own_node()
and link_own_node() to make it easy for functions to fetch the node
address from those structs instead of having to pass along and
dereference the namespace struct.
In particular, we make calls to the msg_xx() functions in msg.{h,c}
context independent by directly passing them the own node address
as parameter when needed. Those functions should be regarded as
leaves in the code dependency tree, and it is hence desirable to
keep them namspace unaware.
Apart from a potential positive effect on cache behavior, these
changes make it easier to introduce the changes that will follow

TIPC currently handles two media specific addresses: Ethernet MAC

formats:
1) A "raw" format as obtained from the device. This format is known
only by the media specific adapter code in eth_media.c and
ib_media.c.
2) A "generic" internal format, in the form of struct tipc_media_addr,
which can be referenced and passed around by the generic media-
unaware code.
3) A serialized version of the latter, to be conveyed in neighbor
discovery messages.
Conversion between the three formats can only be done by the media
specific code, so we have function pointers for this purpose in
struct tipc_media. Here, the media adapters can install their own
conversion functions at startup.
We now introduce a new such function, 'raw2addr()', whose purpose

Currently on both paths of message transmission and reception, the

while the write lock of tipc_net_lock has to be taken before bearer

So as the part of effort of removing tipc_net_lock, the locking
policy of bearer protection will be adjusted as below: on the two
data paths, RCU is used, and on the configuration path of bearer,
RTNL lock is applied.
Now RCU just covers the path of message reception. To make it possible
to protect the path of message transmission with RCU, link should not
use its stored bearer pointer to access bearer, but it should use the
bearer identity of its attached bearer as index to get bearer instance
from bearer_list array, which can help us decouple the relationship
between bearer and link. As a result, bearer on the path of message
transmission can be safely protected by RCU when we access bearer_list

Currently, only 'bearer_lock' is used to protect struct link_req in
the function disc_timeout(). This is unsafe, since the member fields
'num_nodes' and 'timer_intv' might be accessed by below three different
threads simultaneously, none of them grabbing bearer_lock in the
critical region:
link_activate()
tipc_bearer_add_dest()
tipc_disc_add_dest()
req->num_nodes++;
tipc_link_reset()
tipc_bearer_remove_dest()
tipc_disc_remove_dest()
req->num_nodes--
disc_update()
read req->num_nodes
write req->timer_intv
disc_timeout()
read req->num_nodes
read/write req->timer_intv
Without lock protection, the only symptom of a race is that discovery
messages occasionally may not be sent out. This is not fatal, since such
messages are best-effort anyway. On the other hand, since discovery
messages are not time critical, adding a protecting lock brings no
serious overhead either. So we add a new, dedicated spinlock in
order to guarantee absolute data consistency in link_req objects.
This also helps reduce the overall role of the bearer_lock, which
we want to remove completely in a later commit series.

struct 'tipc_bearer' is a generic representation of the underlying
media type, and exists in a one-to-one relationship to each interface
TIPC is using. The struct contains a 'blocked' flag that mirrors the
operational and execution state of the represented interface, and is
updated through notification calls from the latter. The users of
tipc_bearer are checking this flag before each attempt to send a
packet via the interface.
This state mirroring serves no purpose in the current code base. TIPC
links will not discover a media failure any faster through this
mechanism, and in reality the flag only adds overhead at packet
sending and reception.
Furthermore, the fact that the flag needs to be protected by a spinlock
aggregated into tipc_bearer has turned out to cause a serious and
completely unnecessary deadlock problem.
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
Time 0: bearer_disable() link_timeout()
Time 1: spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock) tipc_link_push_queue()
Time 2: tipc_link_delete() tipc_bearer_blocked(b_ptr)
Time 3: k_cancel_timer(&req->timer) spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock)
Time 4: del_timer_sync(&req->timer)
I.e., del_timer_sync() on CPU0 never returns, because the timer handler
on CPU1 is waiting for the bearer lock.
We eliminate the 'blocked' flag from struct tipc_bearer, along with all
tests on this flag. This not only resolves the deadlock, but also
simplifies and speeds up the data path execution of TIPC. It also fits
well into our ongoing effort to make the locking policy simpler and
more manageable.
An effect of this change is that we can get rid of functions such as
tipc_bearer_blocked(), tipc_continue() and tipc_block_bearer().
We replace the latter with a new function, tipc_reset_bearer(), which
resets all links associated to the bearer immediately after an
interface goes down.
A user might notice one slight change in link behaviour after this
change. When an interface goes down, (e.g. through a NETDEV_DOWN
event) all attached links will be reset immediately, instead of
leaving it to each link to detect the failure through a timer-driven
mechanism. We consider this an improvement, and see no obvious risks
with the new behavior.

Currently at the TIPC bearer layer there is the following congestion
mechanism:
Once sending packets has failed via that bearer, the bearer will be
flagged as being in congested state at once. During bearer congestion,
all packets arriving at link will be queued on the link's outgoing
buffer. When we detect that the state of bearer congestion has
relaxed (e.g. some packets are received from the bearer) we will try
our best to push all packets in the link's outgoing buffer until the
buffer is empty, or until the bearer is congested again.
However, in fact the TIPC bearer never receives any feedback from the
device layer whether a send was successful or not, so it must always
assume it was successful. Therefore, the bearer congestion mechanism
as it exists currently is of no value.
But the bearer blocking state is still useful for us. For example,
when the physical media goes down/up, we need to change the state of
the links bound to the bearer. So the code maintaing the state
information is not removed.

The tipc_printf is renamed to tipc_snprintf, as the new name
describes more what the function actually does. It is also
changed to take a buffer and length parameter and return
number of characters written to the buffer. All callers of
this function that used to pass a print_buf are updated.
Final removal of the struct print_buf itself will be done
synchronously with the pending removal of the deprecated
logging code that also was using it.
Functions that build up a response message with a list of
ports, nametable contents etc. are changed to return the number
of characters written to the output buffer. This information
was previously hidden in a field of the print_buf struct, and
the number of chars written was fetched with a call to
tipc_printbuf_validate. This function is removed since it
is no longer referenced nor needed.
A generic max size ULTRA_STRING_MAX_LEN is defined, named
in keeping with the existing TIPC_TLV_ULTRA_STRING, and the
various definitions in port, link and nametable code that
largely duplicated this information are removed. This means
that amount of link statistics that can be returned is now
increased from 2k to 32k.
The buffer overflow check is now done just before the reply
message is passed over netlink or TIPC to a remote node and
the message indicating a truncated buffer is changed to a less
dramatic one (less CAPS), placed at the end of the message.

All messages should go directly to the kernel log. The TIPC
specific error, warning, info and debug trace macro's are
removed and all references replaced with pr_err, pr_warn,
pr_info and pr_debug.
Commonly used sub-strings are explicitly declared as a const
char to reduce .text size.
Note that this means the debug messages (changed to pr_debug),
are now enabled through dynamic debugging, instead of a TIPC
specific Kconfig option (TIPC_DEBUG). The latter will be
phased out completely

Some of the comment blocks are floating in limbo between two
functions, or between blocks of code. Delete the extra line

the kernel. Also delete trailing newlines at EOF and fix
a couple trivial typos in existing comments.

Utilizes the new "node signature" field in neighbor discovery messages
to ensure that all links TIPC associates with a given <Z.C.N> network
address belong to the same neighboring node. (Previously, TIPC could not
tell if link setup requests arriving on different interfaces were from
the same node or from two different nodes that has mistakenly been assigned
the same network address.)
The revised algorithm for detecting a duplicate node considers both the
node signature and the network interface adddress specified in a request
message when deciding how to respond to a link setup request. This prevents
false alarms that might otherwise arise during normal network operation
under the following scenarios:
a) A neighboring node reboots. (The node's signature changes, but the
network interface address remains unchanged.)
b) A neighboring node's network interface is replaced. (The node's signature
remains unchanged, but the network interface address changes.)
c) A neighboring node is completely replaced. (The node's signature and
network interface address both change.)
The algorithm also handles cases in which a node reboots and re-establishes
its links to TIPC (or begins re-establishing those links) before TIPC
detects that it is using a new node signature. In such cases of "delayed
rediscovery" TIPC simply accepts the new signature without disrupting
communication that is already underway over the links.

Adds support for the new "node signature" in neighbor discovery messages,
which is a 16 bit identifier chosen randomly when TIPC is initialized.
This field makes it possible for nodes receiving a neighbor discovery
message to detect if multiple neighboring nodes are using the same network
address (i.e. <Z.C.N>), even when the messages are arriving on different
interfaces.
This first phase of node signature support creates the signature,
incorporates it into outgoing neighbor discovery messages, and tracks
the signature used by valid neighbors. An upcoming patch builds on this
foundation to implement the improved duplicate neighbor detection checking.
