| * tipc: permit bond slave as bearerParthasarathy Bhuvaragan2017-08-291-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a bond slave device as a tipc bearer, the dev represents the bond interface and orig_dev represents the slave in tipc_l2_rcv_msg(). Since we decode the tipc_ptr from bonding device (dev), we fail to find the bearer and thus tipc links are not established. In this commit, we register the tipc protocol callback per device and look for tipc bearer from both the devices.

* | tipc: don't reset stale broadcast send linkJon Paul Maloy2017-08-211-1/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the broadcast send link after 100 attempts has failed to transfer a packet to all peers, we consider it stale, and reset it. Thereafter it needs to re-synchronize with the peers, something currently done by just resetting and re-establishing all links to all peers. This has turned out to be overkill, with potentially unwanted consequences for the remaining cluster. A closer analysis reveals that this can be done much simpler. When this kind of failure happens, for reasons that may lie outside the TIPC protocol, it is typically only one peer which is failing to receive and acknowledge packets. It is hence sufficient to identify and reset the links only to that peer to resolve the situation, without having to reset the broadcast link at all. This solution entails a much lower risk of negative consequences for the own node as well as for the overall cluster. We implement this change in this commit.

* tipc: add function for checking broadcast support in bearerJon Paul Maloy2017-01-201-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As a preparation for the 'replicast' functionality we are going to introduce in the next commits, we need the broadcast base structure to store whether bearer broadcast is available at all from the currently used bearer or bearers. We do this by adding a new function tipc_bearer_bcast_support() to the bearer layer, and letting the bearer selection function in bcast.c use this to give a new boolean field, 'bcast_support' the appropriate value.

* tipc: check minimum bearer MTUMichal Kubeček2016-12-021-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Qian Zhang (张谦) reported a potential socket buffer overflow in tipc_msg_build() which is also known as CVE-2016-8632: due to insufficient checks, a buffer overflow can occur if MTU is too short for even tipc headers. As anyone can set device MTU in a user/net namespace, this issue can be abused by a regular user. As agreed in the discussion on Ben Hutchings' original patch, we should check the MTU at the moment a bearer is attached rather than for each processed packet. We also need to repeat the check when bearer MTU is adjusted to new device MTU. UDP case also needs a check to avoid overflow when calculating bearer MTU.

* tipc: introduce UDP replicastRichard Alpe2016-08-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces UDP replicast. A concept where we emulate multicast by sending multiple unicast messages to configured peers. The purpose of replicast is mainly to be able to use TIPC in cloud environments where IP multicast is disabled. Using replicas to unicast multicast messages is costly as we have to copy each skb and send the copies individually.

* tipc: make bearer packet filtering genericJon Paul Maloy2016-08-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 5b7066c3dd24 ("tipc: stricter filtering of packets in bearer layer") we introduced a method of filtering out messages while a bearer is being reset, to avoid that links may be re-created and come back in working state while we are still in the process of shutting them down. This solution works well, but is limited to only work with L2 media, which is insufficient with the increasing use of UDP as carrier media. We now replace this solution with a more generic one, by introducing a new flag "up" in the generic struct tipc_bearer. This field will be set and reset at the same locations as with the previous solution, while the packet filtering is moved to the generic code for the sending side. On the receiving side, the filtering is still done in media specific code, but now including the UDP bearer.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In test situations with many nodes and a heavily stressed system we have observed that the transmission broadcast link may fail due to an excessive number of retransmissions of the same packet.

In this commit, we add a new function tipc_bearer_reset_all() to be used in such situations. The function scans across all bearers and resets all their pertaining links.

* | tipc: add neighbor monitoring frameworkJon Paul Maloy2016-06-151-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TIPC based clusters are by default set up with full-mesh link connectivity between all nodes. Those links are expected to provide a short failure detection time, by default set to 1500 ms. Because of this, the background load for neighbor monitoring in an N-node cluster increases with a factor N on each node, while the overall monitoring traffic through the network infrastructure increases at a ~(N * (N - 1)) rate. Experience has shown that such clusters don't scale well beyond ~100 nodes unless we significantly increase failure discovery tolerance. This commit introduces a framework and an algorithm that drastically reduces this background load, while basically maintaining the original failure detection times across the whole cluster. Using this algorithm, background load will now grow at a rate of ~(2 * sqrt(N)) per node, and at ~(2 * N * sqrt(N)) in traffic overhead. As an example, each node will now have to actively monitor 38 neighbors in a 400-node cluster, instead of as before 399. This "Overlapping Ring Supervision Algorithm" is completely distributed and employs no centralized or coordinated state. It goes as follows: - Each node makes up a linearly ascending, circular list of all its N known neighbors, based on their TIPC node identity. This algorithm must be the same on all nodes. - The node then selects the next M = sqrt(N) - 1 nodes downstream from itself in the list, and chooses to actively monitor those. This is called its "local monitoring domain". - It creates a domain record describing the monitoring domain, and piggy-backs this in the data area of all neighbor monitoring messages (LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE) leaving that node. This means that all nodes in the cluster eventually (default within 400 ms) will learn about its monitoring domain. - Whenever a node discovers a change in its local domain, e.g., a node has been added or has gone down, it creates and sends out a new version of its node record to inform all neighbors about the change. - A node receiving a domain record from anybody outside its local domain matches this against its own list (which may not look the same), and chooses to not actively monitor those members of the received domain record that are also present in its own list. Instead, it relies on indications from the direct monitoring nodes if an indirectly monitored node has gone up or down. If a node is indicated lost, the receiving node temporarily activates its own direct monitoring towards that node in order to confirm, or not, that it is actually gone. - Since each node is actively monitoring sqrt(N) downstream neighbors, each node is also actively monitored by the same number of upstream neighbors. This means that all non-direct monitoring nodes normally will receive sqrt(N) indications that a node is gone. - A major drawback with ring monitoring is how it handles failures that cause massive network partitionings. If both a lost node and all its direct monitoring neighbors are inside the lost partition, the nodes in the remaining partition will never receive indications about the loss. To overcome this, each node also chooses to actively monitor some nodes outside its local domain. Those nodes are called remote domain "heads", and are selected in such a way that no node in the cluster will be more than two direct monitoring hops away. Because of this, each node, apart from monitoring the member of its local domain, will also typically monitor sqrt(N) remote head nodes. - As an optimization, local list status, domain status and domain records are marked with a generation number. This saves senders from unnecessarily conveying unaltered domain records, and receivers from performing unneeded re-adaptations of their node monitoring list, such as re-assigning domain heads. - As a measure of caution we have added the possibility to disable the new algorithm through configuration. We do this by keeping a threshold value for the cluster size; a cluster that grows beyond this value will switch from full-mesh to ring monitoring, and vice versa when it shrinks below the value. This means that if the threshold is set to a value larger than any anticipated cluster size (default size is 32) the new algorithm is effectively disabled. A patch set for altering the threshold value and for listing the table contents will follow shortly. - This change is fully backwards compatible.

* tipc: simplify bearer level broadcastJon Paul Maloy2015-10-241-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, we have been keeping track of the exact set of broadcast destinations though the help structure tipc_node_map. This leads us to have to maintain a whole infrastructure for supporting this, including a pseudo-bearer and a number of functions to manipulate both the bearers and the node map correctly. Apart from the complexity, this approach is also limiting, as struct tipc_node_map only can support cluster local broadcast if we want to avoid it becoming excessively large. We want to eliminate this limitation, in order to enable introduction of scoped multicast in the future. A closer analysis reveals that it is unnecessary maintaining this "full set" overview; it is sufficient to keep a counter per bearer, indicating how many nodes can be reached via this bearer at the moment. The protocol is now robust enough to handle transitional discrepancies between the nominal number of reachable destinations, as expected by the broadcast protocol itself, and the number which is actually reachable at the moment. The initial broadcast synchronization, in conjunction with the retransmission mechanism, ensures that all packets will eventually be acknowledged by the correct set of destinations.

* tipc: make media xmit call outside node spinlock contextJon Paul Maloy2015-07-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, message sending is performed through a deep call chain, where the node spinlock is grabbed and held during a significant part of the transmission time. This is clearly detrimental to overall throughput performance; it would be better if we could send the message after the spinlock has been released. In this commit, we do instead let the call revert on the stack after the buffer chain has been added to the transmission queue, whereafter clones of the buffers are transmitted to the device layer outside the spinlock scope. As a further step in our effort to separate the roles of the node and link entities we also move the function tipc_link_xmit() to node.c, and rename it to tipc_node_xmit().

* tipc: simplify include dependenciesJon Paul Maloy2015-05-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we try to add new inline functions in the code, we sometimes run into circular include dependencies. The main problem is that the file core.h, which really should be at the root of the dependency chain, instead is a leaf. I.e., core.h includes a number of header files that themselves should be allowed to include core.h. In reality this is unnecessary, because core.h does not need to know the full signature of any of the structs it refers to, only their type declaration. In this commit, we remove all dependencies from core.h towards any other tipc header file. As a consequence of this change, we can now move the function tipc_own_addr(net) from addr.c to addr.h, and make it inline. There are no functional changes in this commit.

The problem is that older versions of tipc-config has a very low receive limit and adding commands to the legacy genl_opts struct causes the ctrl_getfamily() response message to grow, subsequently breaking the tool. The new API utilizes netlink policies for input validation. Where the top-level netlink attributes are tipc-logical entities, like bearer. The top level entities then contain nested attributes. In this case a name, nested link properties and a domain. Netlink commands implemented in this patch: TIPC_NL_BEARER_ENABLE TIPC_NL_BEARER_DISABLE Netlink logical layout of bearer enable message: -> bearer -> name [ -> domain ] [ -> properties -> priority ] Netlink logical layout of bearer disable message: -> bearer -> name Signed-off-by: Richard Alpe <richard.alpe@ericsson.com> Reviewed-by: Erik Hugne <erik.hugne@ericsson.com> Reviewed-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Acked-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* tipc: improve and extend media address conversion functionsJon Paul Maloy2014-05-141-16/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TIPC currently handles two media specific addresses: Ethernet MAC addresses and InfiniBand addresses. Those are kept in three different 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 is to convert from format 1 to format 2 above. We also try to as far as possible uniform commenting, variable names and usage of these functions, with the purpose of making them more comprehensible. We can now also remove the function tipc_l2_media_addr_set(), whose job is done better by the new function. Finally, we expand the field for serialized addresses (format 3) in discovery messages from 20 to 32 bytes. This is permitted according to the spec, and reduces the risk of problems when we add new media in the future.

* tipc: decouple the relationship between bearer and linkYing Xue2014-04-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tipc: remove bearer_lock from tipc_bearer structYing Xue2014-02-131-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After the earlier commits ("tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer struct") and ("tipc: introduce new spinlock to protect struct link_req"), there is no longer any need to protect struct link_req or or any link list by use of bearer_lock. Furthermore, we have eliminated the need for using bearer_lock during downcalls (send) from the link to the bearer, since we have ensured that 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 in the previous commit "tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer struct": "b) When the outer protection from net_lock is gone, taking bearer_lock and node_lock in opposite order of method 1) and 2) will become an obvious deadlock hazard". Therefore, we now eliminate the bearer_lock spinlock.

* tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer structYing Xue2014-02-131-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In our ongoing effort to simplify the TIPC locking structure, we see a need to remove the linked list for tipc_links in the bearer. This can be explained as follows. Currently, we have three different ways to access a link, via three different lists/tables: 1: Via a node hash table: Used by the time-critical outgoing/incoming data paths. (e.g. link_send_sections_fast() and tipc_recv_msg() ): grab net_lock(read) find node from node hash table grab node_lock select link grab bearer_lock send_msg() release bearer_lock release node lock release net_lock 2: Via a global linked list for nodes: Used by configuration commands (link_cmd_set_value()) grab net_lock(read) find node and link from global node list (using link name) grab node_lock update link release node lock release net_lock (Same locking order as above. No problem.) 3: Via the bearer's linked link list: Used by notifications from interface (e.g. tipc_disable_bearer() ) grab net_lock(write) grab bearer_lock get link ptr from bearer's link list get node from link grab node_lock delete link release node lock release bearer_lock release net_lock (Different order from above, but works because we grab the outer net_lock in write mode first, excluding all other access.) The first major goal in our simplification effort is to get rid of the "big" net_lock, replacing it with rcu-locks when accessing the node list and node hash array. This will come in a later patch series. But to get there we first need to rewrite access methods ##2 and 3, since removal of net_lock would introduce three major problems: a) In access method #2, we access the link before taking the protecting node_lock. This will not work once net_lock is gone, so we will have to change the access order. We will deal with this in a later commit in this series, "tipc: add node lock protection to link found by link_find_link()". b) When the outer protection from net_lock is gone, taking bearer_lock and node_lock in opposite order of method 1) and 2) will become an obvious deadlock hazard. This is fixed in the commit ("tipc: remove bearer_lock from tipc_bearer struct") later in this series. c) Similar to what is described in problem a), access method #3 starts with using a link pointer that is unprotected by node_lock, in order to via that pointer find the correct node struct and lock it. Before we remove net_lock, this access order must be altered. This is what we do with this commit. We can avoid introducing problem problem c) by even here using the global node list to find the node, before accessing its links. When we loop though the node list we use the own bearer identity as search criteria, thus easily finding the links that are associated to the resetting/disabling bearer. It should be noted that although this method is somewhat slower than the current list traversal, it is in no way time critical. This is only about resetting or deleting links, something that must be considered relatively infrequent events. As a bonus, we can get rid of the mutual pointers between links and bearers. After this commit, pointer dependency go in one direction only: from the link to the bearer. This commit pre-empts introduction of problem c) as described above.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently TIPC supports two L2 media types, Ethernet and Infiniband. Because both these media are accessed through the common net_device API, several functions in the two media adaptation files turn out to be fully or almost identical, leading to unnecessary code duplication. In this commit we extract this common code from the two media files and move them to the generic bearer.c. Additionally, we change the function names to reflect their real role: to access L2 media, irrespective of type.

* tipc: relocate common functions from media to bearerYing Xue2013-12-111-9/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, registering a TIPC stack handler in the network device layer is done twice, once for Ethernet (eth_media) and Infiniband (ib_media) repectively. But, as this registration is not media specific, we can avoid some code duplication by moving the registering function to the generic bearer layer, to the file bearer.c, and call it only once. The same is true for the network device event notifier. As a side effect, the two workqueues we are using for for setting up/ cleaning up media can now be eliminated. Furthermore, the array for storing the specific media type structs, media_array[], can be entirely deleted. Note that the eth_started and ib_started flags were removed during the code relocation. There is now only one call to bearer_setup and bearer_cleanup, and these can logically not race against each other. Despite its size, this cleanup work incurs no functional changes in TIPC. In particular, it should be noted that the sequence ordering of received packets is unaffected by this change, since packet reception never was subject to any work queue handling in the first place.

* tipc: remove TIPC usage of field af_packet_priv in struct net_deviceYing Xue2013-12-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TIPC is currently using the field 'af_packet_priv' in struct net_device as a handle to find the bearer instance associated to the given network device. But, by doing so it is blocking other networking cleanups, such as the one discussed here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/178044/ This commit removes this usage from TIPC. Instead, we introduce a new field, 'tipc_ptr', to the net_device structure, to serve this purpose. When TIPC bearer is enabled, the bearer object is associated to 'tipc_ptr'. When a TIPC packet arrives in the recv_msg() upcall from a networking device, the bearer object can now be obtained from 'tipc_ptr'. When a bearer is disabled, the bearer object is detached from its underlying network device by setting 'tipc_ptr' to NULL. Additionally, an RCU lock is used to protect the new pointer. Henceforth, the existing tipc_net_lock is used in write mode to serialize write accesses to this pointer, while the new RCU lock is applied on the read side to ensure that the pointer is 100% valid within its wrapped area for all readers.
