Upon establishing a first link between two nodes, there is
currently a risk that the two endpoints will disagree on exactly
which sequence number reception and acknowleding of broadcast
packets should start.
The following scenarios may happen:
1: Node A sends an ACTIVATE message to B, telling it to start acking
packets from sequence number N.
2: Node A sends out broadcast N, but does not expect an acknowledge
from B, since B is not yet in its broadcast receiver's list.
3: Node A receives ACK for N from all nodes except B, and releases
packet N.
4: Node B receives the ACTIVATE, activates its link endpoint, and
stores the value N as sequence number of first expected packet.
5: Node B sends a NAME_DISTR message to A.
6: Node A receives the NAME_DISTR message, and activates its endpoint.
At this moment B is added to A's broadcast receiver's set.
Node A also sets sequence number 0 as the first broadcast packet
to be received from B.
7: Node A sends broadcast N+1.
8: B receives N+1, determines there is a gap in the sequence, since
it is expecting N, and sends a NACK for N back to A.
9: Node A has already released N, so no retransmission is possible.
The broadcast link in direction A->B is stale.
In addition to, or instead of, 7-9 above, the following may happen:
10: Node B sends broadcast M > 0 to A.
11: Node A receives M, falsely decides there must be a gap, since
it is expecting packet 0, and asks for retransmission of packets
[0,M-1].
12: Node B has already released these packets, so the broadcast
link is stale in direction B->A.
We solve this problem by introducing a new unicast message type,
BCAST_PROTOCOL/STATE, to convey the sequence number of the next
sent broadcast packet to the other endpoint, at exactly the moment
that endpoint is added to the own node's broadcast receivers list,
and before any other unicast messages are permitted to be sent.
Furthermore, we don't allow any node to start receiving and
processing broadcast packets until this new synchronization
message has been received.
To maintain backwards compatibility, we still open up for
broadcast reception if we receive a NAME_DISTR message without
any preceding broadcast sync message. In this case, we must
assume that the other end has an older code version, and will
never send out the new synchronization message. Hence, for mixed
old and new nodes, the issue arising in 7-12 of the above may
happen with the same probability as before.

The "supportable" flag in bclink structure is a compatibility flag
indicating whether a peer node is capable of receiving TIPC broadcast
messages. However, all TIPC versions since tipc-1.5, and after the
inclusion in the upstream Linux kernel in 2006, support this capability.
It is highly unlikely that anybody is still using such an old
version of TIPC, let alone that they want to mix it with TIPC-2.0
nodes. Therefore, we now remove the "supportable" flag.

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.

When a socket is shut down, we should wake up all thread sleeping on
it, instead of just one of them. Otherwise, when several threads are
polling the same socket, and one of them does shutdown(), the
remaining threads may end up sleeping forever.
Also, to align socket usage with common practice in other stacks, we
use one of the common socket callback handlers, sk_state_change(),
to wake up pending users. This is similar to the usage in e.g.
inet_shutdown(). [net/ipv4/af_inet.c].

If an implied connect is attempted on a nonblocking STREAM/SEQPACKET
socket during link congestion, the connect message will be discarded
and sendmsg will return EAGAIN. This is normal behavior, and the
application is expected to poll the socket until POLLOUT is set,
after which the connection attempt can be retried.
However, the POLLOUT flag is never set for unconnected sockets and
poll() always returns a zero mask. The application is then left without
a trigger for when it can make another attempt at sending the message.
The solution is to check if we're polling on an unconnected socket
and set the POLLOUT flag if the TIPC port owned by this socket
is not congested. The TIPC ports waiting on a specific link will be
marked as 'not congested' when the link congestion have abated.

When an application blocks at poll/select on a TIPC socket
while requesting a specific event mask, both the filter_rcv() and
wakeupdispatch() case will wake it up unconditionally whenever
the state changes (i.e an incoming message arrives, or congestion
has subsided). No mask is used.
To avoid this, we populate sk->sk_data_ready and sk->sk_write_space
with tipc_data_ready and tipc_write_space respectively, which makes
tipc more in alignment with the rest of the networking code. These
pass the exact set of possible events to the waker in fs/select.c
hence avoiding waking up blocked processes unnecessarily.
In doing so, we uncover another issue -- that there needs to be a
memory barrier in these poll/receive callbacks, otherwise we are
subject to the the same race as documented above wq_has_sleeper()
[in commit a57de0b4 "net: adding memory barrier to the poll and
receive callbacks"]. So we need to replace poll_wait() with
sock_poll_wait() and use rcu protection for the sk->sk_wq pointer
in these two new functions.

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.

>From the log, we can see three different call chains between
CPU0 and CPU1:
Time 0 on CPU0:
kernel_init()->inet_init()->dev_add_pack()
At time 0, the ptype_lock is held by CPU0 in dev_add_pack();
Time 1 on CPU1:
tipc_enable_bearer()->enable_bearer()->dev_add_pack()
At time 1, tipc_enable_bearer() first holds tipc_net_lock, and then
wants to take ptype_lock to register TIPC protocol handler into the
networking stack. But the ptype_lock has been taken by dev_add_pack()
on CPU0, so at this time the dev_add_pack() running on CPU1 has to be
busy looping.
Time 2 on CPU0:
netif_receive_skb()->recv_msg()->tipc_recv_msg()
At time 2, an incoming TIPC packet arrives at CPU0, hence
tipc_recv_msg() will be invoked. In tipc_recv_msg(), it first wants
to hold tipc_net_lock. At the moment, below scenario happens:
On CPU0, below is our sequence of taking locks:
lock(ptype_lock)->lock(tipc_net_lock)
On CPU1, our sequence of taking locks looks like:
lock(tipc_net_lock)->lock(ptype_lock)
Obviously deadlock may happen in this case.
But please note the deadlock possibly doesn't occur at all when the
first TIPC bearer is enabled. Before enable_bearer() -- running on
CPU1 does not hold ptype_lock, so the TIPC receive handler (i.e.
recv_msg()) is not registered successfully via dev_add_pack(), so
the tipc_recv_msg() cannot be called by recv_msg() even if a TIPC
message comes to CPU0. But when the second TIPC bearer is
registered, the deadlock can perhaps really happen.
To fix it, we will push the work of registering TIPC protocol
handler into workqueue context. After the change, both paths taking
ptype_lock are always in process contexts, thus, the deadlock should
never occur.

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

message is passed over netlink or TIPC to a remote node and

tipc_printf was previously used both to construct debug traces
and to append data to buffers that should be sent over netlink
to the tipc-config application. A global print_buffer was
used to format the string before it was copied to the actual
output buffer. This could lead to concurrent access of the
global print_buffer, which then had to be lock protected.
This is simplified by changing tipc_printf to append data
directly to the output buffer using vscnprintf.
With the new implementation of tipc_printf, there is no longer
any risk of concurrent access to the internal log buffer, so
the lock (and the comments describing it) are no longer
strictly necessary. However, there are still a few functions
that do grab this lock before resizing/dumping the log
buffer. We leave the lock, and these functions untouched since
they will be removed with a subsequent commit that drops the

Streamlines the job of re-initializing TIPC's network topology service
when a node's network address is first assigned. Rather than destroying
the topology server port and breaking its connections to existing
subscribers, TIPC now simply lets the service continue running (since
the change to the port identifier of each port used by the topology
service no longer impacts the flow of messages between the service and
its subscribers).
This enhancement means that applications that utilize the topology
service prior to the assignment of TIPC's network address no longer need
to re-establish their subscriptions when the address is finally assigned.
However, it is worth noting that any subsequent events for existing
subscriptions report the new port identifier of the publishing port,
rather than the original port identifier. (For example, a name that was
previously reported as being published by <0.0.0:ref> may be subsequently
withdrawn by <Z.C.N:ref>.)
This doesn't impact any of the existing known userspace in tipc-utils,
since (a) TIPC continues to treat references to the original port ID
correctly and (b) normal use cases assign an address before active use.
However if there does happen to be some rare/custom application out
there that was relying on this, they can simply bypass the enhancement
by issuing a subscription to {0,0} and break its connection to the
topology service, if an associated withdrawal event occurs.

the same node to ensure the connection is not impacted if the node's
network address is changed in mid-operation. The routines now treat
the default node address of <0.0.0> as an alias for "this node" in
the following situations:
1) Incoming messages destined to a connected port now handle the alias
properly when validating that the message was sent by the expected

whether it specifies the node's old network address or it's current one.
2) The code which completes connection establishment now handles the
alias properly when determining if the peer port is on the same node
as the connected port.
An added benefit of addressing issue 1) is that some peer port
validation code has been relocated to TIPC's socket subsystem, which
means that validation is no longer done twice when a message is
sent to a non-socket port (such as TIPC's configuration service or

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.

Completely redesigns broadcast link ACK and NACK mechanisms to prevent
spurious retransmit requests in dual LAN networks, and to prevent the
broadcast link from stalling due to the failure of a receiving node to
acknowledge receiving a broadcast message or request its retransmission.
Note: These changes only impact the timing of when ACK and NACK messages
are sent, and not the basic broadcast link protocol itself, so inter-
operability with nodes using the "classic" algorithms is maintained.
The revised algorithms are as follows:
1) An explicit ACK message is still sent after receiving 16 in-sequence
messages, and implicit ACK information continues to be carried in other
unicast link message headers (including link state messages). However,
the timing of explicit ACKs is now based on the receiving node's absolute
network address rather than its relative network address to ensure that
the failure of another node does not delay the ACK beyond its 16 message
target.
2) A NACK message is now typically sent only when a message gap persists
for two consecutive incoming link state messages; this ensures that a
suspected gap is not confirmed until both LANs in a dual LAN network have
had an opportunity to deliver the message, thereby preventing spurious NACKs.
A NACK message can also be generated by the arrival of a single link state
message, if the deferred queue is so big that the current message gap
cannot be the result of "normal" mis-ordering due to the use of dual LANs
(or one LAN using a bonded interface). Since link state messages typically
arrive at different nodes at different times the problem of multiple nodes
issuing identical NACKs simultaneously is inherently avoided.
3) Nodes continue to "peek" at NACK messages sent by other nodes. If
another node requests retransmission of a message gap suspected (but not
yet confirmed) by the peeking node, the peeking node forgets about the
gap and does not generate a duplicate retransmit request. (If the peeking
node subsequently fails to receive the lost message, later link state
messages will cause it to rediscover and confirm the gap and send another
NACK.)
4) Message gap "equality" is now determined by the start of the gap only.
This is sufficient to deal with the most common cases of message loss,
and eliminates the need for complex end of gap computations.
5) A peeking node no longer tries to determine whether it should send a
complementary NACK, since the most common cases of message loss don't
require it to be sent. Consequently, the node no longer examines the
"broadcast tag" field of a NACK message when peeking.

Fix a bug that can prevent TIPC from sending broadcast messages to a node
if contact with the node is lost and then regained. The problem occurs if
the broadcast link first clears the flag indicating the node is part of the
link's distribution set (when it loses contact with the node), and later
fails to restore the flag (when contact is regained); restoration fails
if contact with the node is regained by implicit unicast link activation
triggered by the arrival of a data message, rather than explicitly by the
arrival of a link activation message.
The broadcast link now uses separate fields to track whether a node is
theoretically capable of receiving broadcast messages versus whether it is
actually part of the link's distribution set. The former member is updated
by the receipt of link protocol messages, which can occur at any time; the
latter member is updated only when contact with the node is gained or lost.
This change also permits the simplification of several conditional

Ensure that sequence number information about incoming broadcast link
messages is initialized only by the activation of the first link to a
given cluster node. Previously, a race condition allowed reset and/or
activation messages for a second link to re-initialize this sequence
number information with obsolete values. This could trigger TIPC to
request the retransmission of previously acknowledged broadcast link
messages from that node, resulting in broadcast link processing becoming
stalled if the node had already released one or more of those messages
and was unable to perform the required retransmission.

Enhances TIPC to ensure that a node that loses contact with a
neighboring node does not allow contact to be re-established until
it sees that its peer has also recognized the loss of contact.
Previously, nodes that were connected by two or more links could
encounter a situation in which node A would lose contact with node B
on all of its links, purge its name table of names published by B,
and then fail to repopulate those names once contact with B was restored.
This would happen because B was able to re-establish one or more links
so quickly that it never reached a point where it had no links to A --
meaning that B never saw a loss of contact with A, and consequently
didn't re-publish its names to A.
This problem is now prevented by enhancing the cleanup done by TIPC
following a loss of contact with a neighboring node to ensure that
node A ignores all messages sent by B until it receives a LINK_PROTOCOL
message that indicates B has lost contact with A, thereby preventing
the (re)establishment of links between the nodes. The loss of contact
is recognized when a RESET or ACTIVATE message is received that has
a "redundant link exists" field of 0, indicating that B's sending link
endpoint is in a reset state and that B has no other working links.
Additionally, TIPC now suppresses the sending of (most) link protocol
messages to a neighboring node while it is cleaning up after an earlier
loss of contact with that node. This stops the peer node from prematurely
activating its link endpoint, which would prevent TIPC from later
activating its own end. TIPC still allows outgoing RESET messages to
occur during cleanup, to avoid problems if its own node recognizes
the loss of contact first and tries to notify the peer of the situation.
Finally, TIPC now recognizes an impending loss of contact with a peer node
as soon as it receives a RESET message on a working link that is the
peer's only link to the node, and ensures that the link protocol
suppression mentioned above goes into effect right away -- that is,
even before its own link endpoints have failed. This is necessary to
ensure correct operation when there are redundant links between the nodes,
since otherwise TIPC would send an ACTIVATE message upon receiving a RESET
on its first link and only begin suppressing when a RESET on its second
link was received, instead of initiating suppression with the first RESET
message as it needs to.
Note: The reworked cleanup code also eliminates a check that prevented
a link endpoint's discovery object from responding to incoming messages
while stale name table entries are being purged. This check is now
unnecessary and would have slowed down re-establishment of communication
between the nodes in some situations.

Ensure that broadcast link messages that have not been acknowledged
by a newly failed node do not get an implied acknowledgement until the
failed node is removed from the broadcast link's map of reachable nodes.
Previously, a race condition allowed a new broadcast link message to be
sent after the implicit acknowledgement processing was completed, but
before the map of reachable nodes was updated, resulting in the message
having an expected acknowledgement count that required the failed node
to explicitly acknowledge the message. Since this would never occur
the new message would remain in the broadcast link's transmit queue
forever, eventually causing the link to become congested and "stall".
