tipc: purge tipc_net_lock lock
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.

* The TIPC locking policy is designed to ensure a very fine locking
* granularity, permitting complete parallel access to individual

* locking domains, each protected with their own disjunct set of locks.
*
- * 1: The routing hierarchy.
- * Comprises the structures 'zone', 'cluster', 'node', 'link'
- * and 'bearer'. The whole hierarchy is protected by a big
- * read/write lock, tipc_net_lock, to enssure that nothing is added

+ * RTNL lock is used to serialize the process of configuring bearer
+ * on update side, and RCU lock is applied on read side to make
+ * bearer instance valid on both paths of message transmission and
+ * reception.
*
- * Within the tipc_net_lock domain there are two sub-domains;'node' and
- * 'bearer', where local write operations are permitted,
- * provided that those are protected by individual spin_locks
- * per instance. Code holding tipc_net_lock(read) and a node spin_lock
- * is permitted to poke around in both the node itself and its
- * subordinate links. I.e, it can update link counters and queues,
- * change link state, send protocol messages, and alter the
- * "active_links" array in the node; but it can _not_ remove a link
- * or a node from the overall structure.
- * Correspondingly, individual bearers may change status within a
- * tipc_net_lock(read), protected by an individual spin_lock ber bearer
- * instance, but it needs tipc_net_lock(write) to remove/add any bearers.
+ * 2: The 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. Especially node
+ * instance is destroyed only when TIPC module is removed, and we can
+ * confirm that there has no any user who is accessing the node at the
+ * moment. Therefore, Except for iterating the two lists within RCU
+ * protection, it's no needed to hold RCU that we access node instance
+ * in other places.
*
+ * In addition, all members in node structure including link instances
+ * are protected by node spin lock.
*
