When the function tipc_link_xmit() is given a buffer list for
transmission, it currently consumes the list both when transmission
is successful and when it fails, except for the special case when
it encounters link congestion.
This behavior is inconsistent, and needs to be corrected if we want
to avoid problems in later commits in this series.
In this commit, we change this to let the function consume the list
only when transmission is successful, and leave the list with the
sender in all other cases. We also modifiy the socket code so that
it adapts to this change, i.e., purges the list when a non-congestion
error code is returned.

We now group those into a new struct 'tipc_link_entry', and intoduce

improvement, this is a starting point for the strict master-slave

In commit 1f66d161ab
("tipc: introduce starvation free send algorithm")
we introduced a counter per priority level for buffers
in the link backlog queue. We also introduced a new
function tipc_link_purge_backlog(), to reset these
counters to zero when the link is reset.
Unfortunately, we missed to call this function when
the broadcast link is reset, with the result that the
values of these counters might be permanently skewed
when new nodes are attached. This may in the worst case
lead to permananent, but spurious, broadcast link
congestion, where no broadcast packets can be sent at
all.
We fix this bug with this commit.

Currently, the packet sequence number is updated and added to each
packet at the moment a packet is added to the link backlog queue.
This is wasteful, since it forces the code to traverse the send
packet list packet by packet when adding them to the backlog queue.
It would be better to just splice the whole packet list into the
backlog queue when that is the right action to do.
In this commit, we do this change. Also, since the sequence numbers
cannot now be assigned to the packets at the moment they are added
the backlog queue, we do instead calculate and add them at the moment
of transmission, when the backlog queue has to be traversed anyway.
We do this in the function tipc_link_push_packet().

When a link is being established, the two endpoints advertise their
respective interface MTU in the transmitted RESET and ACTIVATE messages.
If there is any difference, the lower of the two MTUs will be selected
for use by both endpoints.
However, as a remnant of earlier attempts to introduce TIPC level
routing. there also exists an MTU discovery mechanism. If an intermediate
node has a lower MTU than the two endpoints, they will discover this
through a bisectional approach, and finally adopt this MTU for common use.
Since there is no TIPC level routing, and probably never will be,
this mechanism doesn't make any sense, and only serves to make the
link level protocol unecessarily complex.
In this commit, we eliminate the MTU discovery algorithm,and fall back
to the simple MTU advertising approach. This change is fully backwards

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.

Currently, we only use a single counter; the length of the backlog
queue, to determine whether a message should be accepted to the queue
or not. Each time a message is being sent, the queue length is compared
to a threshold value for the message's importance priority. If the queue
length is beyond this threshold, the message is rejected. This algorithm
implies a risk of starvation of low importance senders during very high
load, because it may take a long time before the backlog queue has
decreased enough to accept a lower level message.
We now eliminate this risk by introducing a counter for each importance
priority. When a message is sent, we check only the queue level for that
particular message's priority. If that is ok, the message can be added
to the backlog, irrespective of the queue level for other priorities.
This way, each level is guaranteed a certain portion of the total
bandwidth, and any risk of starvation is eliminated.

Messages transferred by TIPC are assigned an "importance priority", -an
integer value indicating how to treat the message when there is link or
destination socket congestion.
There is no separate header field for this value. Instead, the message
user values have been chosen in ascending order according to perceived
importance, so that the message user field can be used for this.
This is not a good solution. First, we have many more users than the
needed priority levels, so we end up with treating more priority
levels than necessary. Second, the user field cannot always
accurately reflect the priority of the message. E.g., a message
fragment packet should really have the priority of the enveloped
user data message, and not the priority of the MSG_FRAGMENTER user.
Until now, we have been working around this problem in different ways,
but it is now time to implement a consistent way of handling such
priorities, although still within the constraint that we cannot
allocate any more bits in the regular data message header for this.
In this commit, we define a new priority level, TIPC_SYSTEM_IMPORTANCE,
that will be the only one used apart from the four (lower) user data
levels. All non-data messages map down to this priority. Furthermore,
we take some free bits from the MSG_FRAGMENTER header and allocate
them to store the priority of the enveloped message. We then adjust
the functions msg_importance()/msg_set_importance() so that they
read/set the correct header fields depending on user type.
This small protocol change is fully compatible, because the code at
the receiving end of a link currently reads the importance level
only from user data messages, where there is no change.

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.

TIPC handles message cardinality and sequencing at the link layer,
before passing messages upwards to the destination sockets. During the
upcall from link to socket no locks are held. It is therefore possible,
and we see it happen occasionally, that messages arriving in different
threads and delivered in sequence still bypass each other before they
reach the destination socket. This must not happen, since it violates
the sequentiality guarantee.
We solve this by adding a new input buffer queue to the link structure.
Arriving messages are added safely to the tail of that queue by the
link, while the head of the queue is consumed, also safely, by the
receiving socket. Sequentiality is secured per socket by only allowing
buffers to be dequeued inside the socket lock. Since there may be multiple
simultaneous readers of the queue, we use a 'filter' parameter to reduce
the risk that they peek the same buffer from the queue, hence also
reducing the risk of contention on the receiving socket locks.
This solves the sequentiality problem, and seems to cause no measurable
performance degradation.
A nice side effect of this change is that lock handling in the functions
tipc_rcv() and tipc_bcast_rcv() now becomes uniform, something that
will enable future simplifications of those functions.

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

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.

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

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.

In this commit, we convert the socket multicast send function to
directly call the new multicast/broadcast function (tipc_bclink_xmit2())
introduced in the previous commit. We do this instead of letting the
call go via the now obsolete tipc_port_mcast_xmit(), hence saving
a call level and some code complexity.
We also remove the initial destination lookup at the message sending
side, and replace that with an unconditional lookup at the receiving
side, including on the sending node itself. This makes the destination
lookup and message transfer more uniform than before.

We add a new broadcast link transmit function in bclink.c and a new
receive function in socket.c. The purpose is to move the branching
between external and internal destination down to the link layer,
just as we have done with unicast in earlier commits. We also make
use of the new link-independent fragmentation support that was
introduced in an earlier commit series.
This gives a shorter and simpler code path, and makes it possible
to obtain copy-free buffer delivery to all node local destination
sockets.
The new transmission code is added in parallel with the existing one,
and will be used by the socket multicast send function in the next
commit in this series.

If the 'next' pointer of the last fragment buffer in a message is not
zeroed before reassembly, we risk ending up with a corrupt message,
since the reassembly function itself isn't doing this.
Currently, when a buffer is retrieved from the deferred queue of the
broadcast link, the next pointer is not cleared, with the result as
described above.
This commit corrects this, and thereby fixes a bug that may occur when
long broadcast messages are transmitted across dual interfaces. The bug
has been present since 40ba3cdf54 ("tipc:
message reassembly using fragment chain")
This commit should be applied to both net and net-next.

There are several instances where a pskb_copy or __pskb_copy is
immediately followed by an skb_clone.
Add a couple of new functions to allow the copy skb to be allocated
from the fclone cache and thus speed up subsequent skb_clone calls.

The function tipc_link_frag_rcv() is in reality a re-entrant generic
message reassemby function that has nothing in particular to do with
the link, where it is defined now. This becomes obvious when we see
the need to call the function from other places in the code.
In this commit rename it to tipc_buf_append() and move it to the file
msg.c. We also simplify its signature by moving the tail pointer to
the control block of the head buffer, hence making the head buffer
self-contained.

The node map variable - 'nodes' in bearer structure is only used by
bclink. When bclink accesses it, bc_lock is held. But when change it,
for instance, in tipc_bearer_add_dest() or tipc_bearer_remove_dest()
the bc_lock is not taken at all. To avoid any inconsistent data, we
should always grab bc_lock while accessing node map variable.

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.
