One aim of commit 50100a5e39 ("tipc:
use pseudo message to wake up sockets after link congestion") was
to handle link congestion abatement in a uniform way for both unicast
and multicast transmit. However, the latter doesn't work correctly,
and has been broken since the referenced commit was applied.
If a user now sends a burst of multicast messages that is big
enough to cause broadcast link congestion, it will be put to sleep,
and not be waked up when the congestion abates as it should be.
This has two reasons. First, the flag that is used, TIPC_WAKEUP_USERS,
is set correctly, but in the wrong field. Instead of setting it in the
'action_flags' field of the arrival node struct, it is by mistake set
in the dummy node struct that is owned by the broadcast link, where it
will never tested for. Second, we cannot use the same flag for waking
up unicast and multicast users, since the function tipc_node_unlock()
needs to pick the wakeup pseudo messages to deliver from different
queues. It must hence be able to distinguish between the two cases.
This commit solves this problem by adding a new flag
TIPC_WAKEUP_BCAST_USERS, and a new function tipc_bclink_wakeup_user().
The latter is to be called by tipc_node_unlock() when the named flag,
now set in the correct field, is encountered.
v2: using explicit 'unsigned int' declaration instead of 'uint', as
per comment from David Miller.

The current link implementation keeps a linked list of blocked ports/
sockets that is populated when there is link congestion. The purpose
of this is to let the link know which users to wake up when the
congestion abates.
This adds unnecessary complexity to the data structure and the code,
since it forces us to involve the link each time we want to delete
a socket. It also forces us to grab the spinlock port_lock within
the scope of node_lock. We want to get rid of this direct dependence,
as well as the deadlock hazard resulting from the usage of port_lock.
In this commit, we instead let the link keep list of a "wakeup" pseudo
messages for use in such situations. Those messages are sent to the
pending sockets via the ordinary message reception path, and wake up
the socket's owner when they are received.
This enables us to get rid of the 'waiting_ports' linked lists in struct
tipc_port that manifest this direct reference. As a consequence, we can
eliminate another BH entry into the socket, and hence the need to grab
port_lock. This is a further step in our effort to remove port_lock
altogether.

When we run broadcast packets over dual bearers/interfaces, the
current transmission code is flipping bearers between each sent
packet, with the purpose of leveraging the double bandwidth
available. The receiving bclink is resequencing the packets if
needed, so all messages are delivered upwards from the broadcast
link in the correct order, even if they may arrive in concurrent
interrupts.
However, at the moment of delivery upwards to the socket, we release
all spinlocks (bclink_lock, node_lock), so it is still possible
that arriving messages bypass each other before they reach the socket
queue.
We fix this by applying the same technique we are using for unicast
traffic. We use a link selector (i.e., the last bit of sending port
number) to ensure that messages from the same sender socket always are
sent over the same bearer. This guarantees sequential delivery between
socket pairs, which is sufficient to satisfy the protocol spec, as well
as all known user requirements.

Now tipc routing hierarchy comprises the structures 'node', 'link'and
'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big read/write lock,
tipc_net_lock, to ensure that nothing is added or removed while code
is accessing any of these structures. Obviously the locking policy
makes node, link and bearer components closely bound together so that
their relationship becomes unnecessarily complex. In the worst case,
such locking policy not only has a negative influence on performance,
but also it's prone to lead to deadlock occasionally.
In order o decouple the complex relationship between bearer and node
as well as link, the locking policy is adjusted as follows:
- Bearer level
RTNL lock is used on update side, and RCU is used on read side.
Meanwhile, all bearer instances including broadcast bearer are
saved into bearer_list array.
- Node and link level
All node instances are saved into two tipc_node_list and node_htable
lists. The two lists are protected by node_list_lock on write side,
and they are guarded with RCU lock on read side. All members in node
structure including link instances are protected by node spin lock.
- The relationship between bearer and node
When link accesses bearer, it first needs to find the bearer with
its bearer identity from the bearer_list array. When bearer accesses
node, it can iterate the node_htable hash list with the node
address to find the corresponding node.
In the new locking policy, every component has its private locking
solution and the relationship between bearer and node is very simple,
that is, they can find each other with node address or bearer identity
from node_htable hash list or bearer_list array.
Until now above all changes have been done, so tipc_net_lock can be
removed safely.

Currently on both paths of message transmission and reception, the
read lock of tipc_net_lock must be held before bearer is accessed,
while the write lock of tipc_net_lock has to be taken before bearer
is configured. Although it can ensure that bearer is always valid on
the two data paths, link and bearer is closely bound together.
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
array within RCU lock protection.

bearers always have a longer life cycle that their associated links,
and always contain valid data.
So, the only need now for a lock protecting bearers is for guaranteeing
consistency of the bearer list itself. For this, it is sufficient, at
least for the time being, to continue applying 'net_lock´ in write mode.
By removing bearer_lock we also pre-empt introduction of issue b) descibed

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.

When the first fragment of a long data data message is received on a link, a
reassembly buffer large enough to hold the data from this and all subsequent
fragments of the message is allocated. The payload of each new fragment is
copied into this buffer upon arrival. When the last fragment is received, the
reassembled message is delivered upwards to the port/socket layer.
Not only is this an inefficient approach, but it may also cause bursts of
reassembly failures in low memory situations. since we may fail to allocate
the necessary large buffer in the first place. Furthermore, after 100 subsequent
such failures the link will be reset, something that in reality aggravates the
situation.
To remedy this problem, this patch introduces a different approach. Instead of
allocating a big reassembly buffer, we now append the arriving fragments
to a reassembly chain on the link, and deliver the whole chain up to the
socket layer once the last fragment has been received. This is safe because
the retransmission layer of a TIPC link always delivers packets in strict
uninterrupted order, to the reassembly layer as to all other upper layers.
Hence there can never be more than one fragment chain pending reassembly at
any given time in a link, and we can trust (but still verify) that the
fragments will be chained up in the correct order.

When a message fragment is received in a broadcast or unicast link,
the reception code will append the fragment payload to a big reassembly
buffer through a call to the function tipc_recv_fragm(). However, after
the return of that call, the logics goes on and passes the fragment
buffer to the function tipc_net_route_msg(), which will simply drop it.
This behavior is a remnant from the now obsolete multi-cluster
functionality, and has no relevance in the current code base.
Although currently harmless, this unnecessary call would be fatal
after applying the next patch in this series, which introduces
a completely new reassembly algorithm. So we change the code to

When sending packets, TIPC bearers use skb_clone() before writing their
hardware header. This will however NOT copy the data buffer.
So when the same packet is sent over multiple bearers (to reach multiple
nodes), the same socket buffer data will be treated by multiple
tipc_media drivers which will write their own hardware header through
dev_hard_header().
Most of the time this is not a problem, because by the time the
packet is processed by the second media, it has already been sent over
the first one. However, when the first transmission is delayed (e.g.
because of insufficient bandwidth or through a shaper), the next bearer
will overwrite the hardware header, resulting in the packet being sent:
a) with the wrong source address, when bearers of the same type,
e.g. ethernet, are involved
b) with a completely corrupt header, or even dropped, when bearers of
different types are involved.
So when the same socket buffer is to be sent multiple times, send a
pskb_copy() instead (from the second instance on), and release it
afterwards (the bearer will skb_clone() it anyway).

Some network protocols, like InfiniBand, don't have a fixed broadcast
address but one that depends on the configuration. Move the bcast_addr
to struct tipc_bearer and initialize it with the broadcast address of
the network device when the bearer is enabled.

After commit 3c294cb3 "tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanism",
we try to grab the broadcast bearer lock when sending multicast
messages over the broadcast link. This will cause an oops because
the lock is never initialized. This is an old bug, but the lock
was never actually used before commit 3c294cb3, so that why it was
not visible until now. The oops will look something like:
BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#2, daemon/147

Rename the "supported" flag in bclink structure to "recv_permitted"
to better reflect what it is used for. When this flag is set for a
given node, we are permitted to receive and acknowledge broadcast
messages from that node. Convert it to a bool at the same time,
since it is not used to store any numerical values.

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
feeds between any comment and its associated following block
of code, to be consistent with the majority of the rest of
the kernel. Also delete trailing newlines at EOF and fix
a couple trivial typos in existing comments.
This is a 100% cosmetic change with no runtime impact. We get
rid of over 500 lines of non-code, and being blank line deletes,
they won't even show up as noise in git blame.

Modifies broadcast link so that an incoming fragmented message is not
lost if reassembly cannot begin because there currently is no buffer
big enough to hold the entire reassembled message. The broadcast link
now ignores the first fragment completely, which causes the sending node
to retransmit the first fragment so that reassembly can be re-attempted.
Previously, the sender would have had no reason to retransmit the 1st
fragment, so we would never have a chance to re-try the allocation.
To do this cleanly without duplicaton, a new bclink_accept_pkt()
function is introduced.

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.

Fixes a pair of problems in broadcast link message reception code
relating to the reclamation of the node lock after consuming an
in-sequence message.
1) Now retests to see if the sending node is still up after reclaiming
the node lock, and bails out if it is non-operational.
2) Now manipulates the node's deferred message queue only after
reclaiming the node lock, rather than using queue head pointer
information that was cached previously.
