It is observed that TIPC service binding order will not be kept in the
publication event report to user if the service is subscribed after the
bindings.
For example, services are bound by application in the following order:
Server: bound port A to {18888,66,66} scope 2
Server: bound port A to {18888,33,33} scope 2
Now, if a client subscribes to the service range (e.g. {18888, 0-100}),
it will get the 'TIPC_PUBLISHED' events in that binding order only when
the subscription is started before the bindings.
Otherwise, if started after the bindings, the events will arrive in the
opposite order:
Client: received event for published {18888,33,33}
Client: received event for published {18888,66,66}
For the latter case, it is clear that the bindings have existed in the
name table already, so when reported, the events' order will follow the
order of the rbtree binding nodes (- a node with lesser 'lower'/'upper'
range value will be first).
This is correct as we provide the tracking on a specific service status
(available or not), not the relationship between multiple services.
However, some users expect to see the same order of arriving events
irrespective of when the subscription is issued. This turns out to be
easy to fix. We now add functionality to ensure that publication events
always are issued in the same temporal order as the corresponding
bindings were performed.
v2: replace the unnecessary macro - 'publication_after()' with inline
function.
v3: reuse 'time_after32()' instead of reinventing the same exact code.

We have seen the following race scenario:
1) named_distribute() builds a "bulk" message, containing a PUBLISH
item for a certain publication. This is based on the contents of
the binding tables's 'cluster_scope' list.
2) tipc_named_withdraw() removes the same publication from the list,
bulds a WITHDRAW message and distributes it to all cluster nodes.
3) tipc_named_node_up(), which was calling named_distribute(), sends
out the bulk message built under 1)
4) The WITHDRAW message arrives at the just detected node, finds
no corresponding publication, and is dropped.
5) The PUBLISH item arrives at the same node, is added to its binding
table, and remains there forever.
This arrival disordering was earlier taken care of by the backlog queue,
originally added for a different purpose, which was removed in the
commit referred to below, but we now need a different solution.
In this commit, we replace the rcu lock protecting the 'cluster_scope'
list with a regular RW lock which comprises even the sending of the
bulk message. This both guarantees both the list integrity and the
message sending order. We will later add a commit which cleans up
this code further.
Note that this commit needs recently added commit d3092b2efc ("tipc:
fix unsafe rcu locking when accessing publication list") to apply
cleanly.

In function tipc_dest_push, the 32bit variables 'node' and 'port'

Then this value is assigned to dst->value which is a union like:
union
{
struct {
u32 port;
u32 node;
};
u64 value;
}
This works on little-endian machines like x86 but fails on big-endian

The fix remove the 'value' stack parameter and even the 'value'

When a topology subscription is created, we may encounter (or KASAN
may provoke) a failure to create a corresponding service instance in
the binding table. Instead of letting the tipc_nametbl_subscribe()
report the failure back to the caller, the function just makes a warning
printout and returns, without incrementing the subscription reference
counter as expected by the caller.
This makes the caller believe that the subscription was successful, so
it will at a later moment try to unsubscribe the item. This involves
a sub_put() call. Since the reference counter never was incremented
in the first place, we get a premature delete of the subscription item,
followed by a "use-after-free" warning.
We fix this by adding a return value to tipc_nametbl_subscribe() and
make the caller aware of the failure to subscribe.
This bug seems to always have been around, but this fix only applies
back to the commit shown below. Given the low risk of this happening
we believe this to be sufficient.

With the new RB tree structure for service ranges it becomes possible to
solve an old problem; - we can now allow overlapping service ranges in
the table.
When inserting a new service range to the tree, we use 'lower' as primary
key, and when necessary 'upper' as secondary key.
Since there may now be multiple service ranges matching an indicated
'lower' value, we must also add the 'upper' value to the functions
used for removing publications, so that the correct, corresponding
range item can be found.
These changes guarantee that a well-formed publication/withdrawal item
from a peer node never will be rejected, and make it possible to
eliminate the problematic backlog functionality we currently have for
handling such cases.

The current design of the binding table has an unnecessary memory
consuming and complex data structure. It aggregates the service range
items into an array, which is expanded by a factor two every time it
becomes too small to hold a new item. Furthermore, the arrays never
shrink when the number of ranges diminishes.
We now replace this array with an RB tree that is holding the range
items as tree nodes, each range directly holding a list of bindings.
This, along with a few name changes, improves both readability and
volume of the code, as well as reducing memory consumption and hopefully
improving cache hit rate.

Because of the requirement for total distribution transparency, users
send subscriptions and receive topology events in their own host format.
It is up to the topology server to determine this format and do the
correct conversions to and from its own host format when needed.
Until now, this has been handled in a rather non-transparent way inside
the topology server and subscriber code, leading to unnecessary
complexity when creating subscriptions and issuing events.
We now improve this situation by adding two new macros, tipc_sub_read()
and tipc_evt_write(). Both those functions calculate the need for
conversion internally before performing their respective operations.
Hence, all handling of such conversions become transparent to the rest
of the code.

In commit 232d07b74a ("tipc: improve groupcast scope handling") we
inadvertently broke non-group multicast transmission when changing the
parameter 'domain' to 'scope' in the function
tipc_nametbl_lookup_dst_nodes(). We missed to make the corresponding
change in the calling function, with the result that the lookup always
fails.
A closer anaysis reveals that this parameter is not needed at all.
Non-group multicast is hard coded to use CLUSTER_SCOPE, and in the
current implementation this will be delivered to all matching
destinations except those which are published with NODE_SCOPE on other
nodes. Since such publications never will be visible on the sending node
anyway, it makes no sense to discriminate by scope at all.
We now remove this parameter altogether.

When a member joins a group, it also indicates a binding scope. This
makes it possible to create both node local groups, invisible to other
nodes, as well as cluster global groups, visible everywhere.
In order to avoid that different members end up having permanently
differing views of group size and memberhip, we must inhibit locally
and globally bound members from joining the same group.
We do this by using the binding scope as an additional separator between
groups. I.e., a member must ignore all membership events from sockets
using a different scope than itself, and all lookups for message
destinations must require an exact match between the message's lookup
scope and the potential target's binding scope.
Apart from making it possible to create local groups using the same
identity on different nodes, a side effect of this is that it now also
becomes possible to create a cluster global group with the same identity
across the same nodes, without interfering with the local groups.

Currently, when a user is subscribing for binding table publications,
he will receive a PUBLISH event for all already existing matching items
in the binding table.
However, a group socket making a subscriptions doesn't need this initial
status update from the binding table, because it has already scanned it
during the join operation. Worse, the multiplicatory effect of issuing
mutual events for dozens or hundreds group members within a short time
frame put a heavy load on the topology server, with the end result that
scale out operations on a big group tend to take much longer than needed.
We now add a new filter option, TIPC_SUB_NO_STATUS, for topology server
subscriptions, so that this initial avalanche of events is suppressed.
This change, along with the previous commit, significantly improves the
range and speed of group scale out operations.
We keep the new option internal for the tipc driver, at least for now.

In this commit, we make it possible to send connectionless unicast

when there is more than one such member. The sender must use a
TIPC_ADDR_NAME address to achieve this effect.
We also perform load balancing between the destinations, i.e., we
primarily select one which has advertised sufficient send window
to not cause a block/EAGAIN delay, if any. This mechanism is
overlayed on the always present round-robin selection.

As a preparation for introducing flow control for multicast and datagram
messaging we need a more strictly defined framework than we have now. A
socket must be able keep track of exactly how many and which other
sockets it is allowed to communicate with at any moment, and keep the
necessary state for those.
We therefore introduce a new concept we have named Communication Group.
Sockets can join a group via a new setsockopt() call TIPC_GROUP_JOIN.
The call takes four parameters: 'type' serves as group identifier,
'instance' serves as an logical member identifier, and 'scope' indicates
the visibility of the group (node/cluster/zone). Finally, 'flags' makes
it possible to set certain properties for the member. For now, there is
only one flag, indicating if the creator of the socket wants to receive
a copy of broadcast or multicast messages it is sending via the socket,
and if wants to be eligible as destination for its own anycasts.
A group is closed, i.e., sockets which have not joined a group will
not be able to send messages to or receive messages from members of
the group, and vice versa.
Any member of a group can send multicast ('group broadcast') messages
to all group members, optionally including itself, using the primitive
send(). The messages are received via the recvmsg() primitive. A socket
can only be member of one group at a time.

Here, we resolve the same problem at multicast reception. We apply the
same technique: an input queue serializing the delivery of arriving
buffers. The main difference is that here we do it in two steps.
First, the broadcast link feeds arriving buffers into the tail of an
arrival queue, which head is consumed at the socket level, and where
destination lookup is performed. Second, if the lookup is successful,
the resulting buffer clones are fed into a second queue, the input
queue. This queue is consumed at reception in the socket just like
in the unicast case. Both queues are protected by the same lock, -the
one of the input queue.
