* tipc: introduce new TIPC server infrastructureYing Xue2013-06-171-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TIPC has two internal servers, one providing a subscription service for topology events, and another providing the configuration interface. These servers have previously been running in BH context, accessing the TIPC-port (aka native) API directly. Apart from these servers, even the TIPC socket implementation is partially built on this API. As this API may simultaneously be called via different paths and in different contexts, a complex and costly lock policiy is required in order to protect TIPC internal resources. To eliminate the need for this complex lock policiy, we introduce a new, generic service API that uses kernel sockets for message passing instead of the native API. Once the toplogy and configuration servers are converted to use this new service, all code pertaining to the native API can be removed. This entails a significant reduction in code amount and complexity, and opens up for a complete rework of the locking policy in TIPC. The new service also solves another problem: As the current topology server works in BH context, it cannot easily be blocked when sending of events fails due to congestion. In such cases events may have to be silently dropped, something that is unacceptable. Therefore, the new service keeps a dedicated outbound queue receiving messages from BH context. Once messages are inserted into this queue, we will immediately schedule a work from a special workqueue. This way, messages/events from the topology server are in reality sent in process context, and the server can block if necessary. Analogously, there is a new workqueue for receiving messages. Once a notification about an arriving message is received in BH context, we schedule a work from the receive workqueue to do the job of receiving the message in process context. As both sending and receive messages are now finished in processes, subscribed events cannot be dropped any more. As of this commit, this new server infrastructure is built, but not actually yet called by the existing TIPC code, but since the conversion changes required in order to use it are significant, the addition is kept here as a separate commit.

* tipc: change socket buffer overflow control to respect sk_rcvbufYing Xue2013-06-171-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As per feedback from the netdev community, we change the buffer overflow protection algorithm in receiving sockets so that it always respects the nominal upper limit set in sk_rcvbuf. Instead of scaling up from a small sk_rcvbuf value, which leads to violation of the configured sk_rcvbuf limit, we now calculate the weighted per-message limit by scaling down from a much bigger value, still in the same field, according to the importance priority of the received message. To allow for administrative tunability of the socket receive buffer size, we create a tipc_rmem sysctl variable to allow the user to configure an even bigger value via sysctl command. It is a size of three (min/default/max) to be consistent with things like tcp_rmem. By default, the value initialized in tipc_rmem[1] is equal to the receive socket size needed by a TIPC_CRITICAL_IMPORTANCE message. This value is also set as the default value of sk_rcvbuf.

* tipc: remove print_buf and deprecated log buffer codeErik Hugne2012-07-131-27/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The internal log buffer handling functions can now safely be removed since there is no code using it anymore. Requests to interact with the internal tipc log buffer over netlink (in config.c) will report 'obsolete command'. This represents the final removal of any references to a struct print_buf, and the removal of the struct itself. We also get rid of a TIPC specific Kconfig in the process. Finally, log.h is removed since it is not needed anymore.

* tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usageErik Hugne2012-07-131-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The link queue traces and packet level debug functions served a purpose during early development, but are now redundant since there are other, more capable tools available for debugging at the packet level. The TIPC_DEBUG Kconfig option is removed since it does not provide any extra debugging features anymore.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch contains changes to make TIPC's print buffer code conform more closely to Linux kernel coding guidelines. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | tipc: Elimination of print buffer chainingAllan Stephens2008-05-051-3/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch revamps TIPC's print buffer subsystem to eliminate support for arbitrary chains of print buffers, which were rarely needed and difficult to use safely. In its place, print buffers can now be configured to echo their output to the system console. This provides an equivalent for the only chaining currently utilized by TIPC, in a faster and more compact manner. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TIPC]: Force linearization of non-linear sk_buffsAllan Stephens2008-04-151-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows TIPC to process incoming messages that are stored in a fragmented sk_buff, by forcing the linearization of any such messages it receives. Note: This is an interim solution to allow TIPC to operate with Ethernet devices that generate non-linear buffers (such as the gianfar driver), until such time as the rest of TIPC is enhanced to handle sk_buffs with multiple data areas.

* [TIPC]: Use fast buffer cloning to improve performanceAllan Stephens2008-04-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This patch causes TIPC to allocate fast clonable sk_buffs, rather than standard ones. This speeds up the cloning operation done by the link code each time a message is sent off-node. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [TIPC]: Remove redundant NULL check when discarding buffersAllan Stephens2008-04-151-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates a null pointer check when discarding a TIPC message buffer, since kfree_skb() already handles this situation.

* [NET]: Convert init_timer into setup_timerPavel Emelyanov2008-01-281-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Many-many code in the kernel initialized the timer->function and timer->data together with calling init_timer(timer). There is already a helper for this. Use it for networking code. The patch is HUGE, but makes the code 130 lines shorter (98 insertions(+), 228 deletions(-)).

* [TIPC]: Remove code bloat introduced by print buffer reworkAllan Stephens2006-10-181-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | This patch allows the compiler to optimize out any code that tries to send debugging output to the null print buffer (TIPC_NULL), a capability that was unintentionally broken during the recent print buffer rework.

* [TIPC]: Debug print buffer enhancements and fixesAllan Stephens2006-10-181-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This change modifies TIPC's print buffer code as follows: 1) Now supports small print buffers (min. size reduced from 512 bytes to 64) 2) Now uses TIPC_NULL print buffer structure to indicate null device instead of NULL pointer (this simplified error handling) 3) Fixed misuse of console buffer structure by tipc_dump() 4) Added and corrected comments in various places Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Per Liden <per.liden@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [TIPC] Fixed sk_buff panic caused by tipc_link_bundle_buf (REVISED)Allan Stephens2006-07-031-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | The recent change to direct inspection of bundle buffer tailroom did not account for the possiblity of unrequested tailroom added by skb_alloc(), thereby allowing a bundle to be created that exceeds the current link MTU. An additional check now ensures that bundling works correctly no matter if the bundle buffer is smaller, larger, or equal to the link MTU.
