* tipc: cosmetic realignment of function argumentsPaul Gortmaker2013-06-171-9/+4
| | | | | | | | | No runtime code changes here. Just a realign of the function arguments to start where the 1st one was, and fit as many args as can be put in an 80 char line. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* tipc: convert topology server to use new server facilityYing Xue2013-06-171-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As the new TIPC server infrastructure has been introduced, we can now convert the TIPC topology server to it. We get two benefits from doing this: 1) It simplifies the topology server locking policy. In the original locking policy, we placed one spin lock pointer in the tipc_subscriber structure to reuse the lock of the subscriber's server port, controlling access to members of tipc_subscriber instance. That is, we only used one lock to ensure both tipc_port and tipc_subscriber members were safely accessed. Now we introduce another spin lock for tipc_subscriber structure only protecting themselves, to get a finer granularity locking policy. Moreover, the change will allow us to make the topology server code more readable and maintainable. 2) It fixes a bug where sent subscription events may be lost when the topology port is congested. Using the new service, the topology server now queues sent events into an outgoing buffer, and then wakes up a sender process which has been blocked in workqueue context. The process will keep picking events from the buffer and send them to their respective subscribers, using the kernel socket interface, until the buffer is empty. Even if the socket is congested during transmission there is no risk that events may be dropped, since the sender process may block when needed. Some minor reordering of initialization is done, since we now have a scenario where the topology server must be started after socket initialization has taken place, as the former depends on the latter. And overall, we see a simplification of the TIPC subscriber code in making this changeover.

* tipc: compress out gratuitous extra carriage returnsPaul Gortmaker2012-04-301-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the comment blocks are floating in limbo between two functions, or between blocks of code. Delete the extra line feeds between any comment and its associated following block of code, to be consistent with the majority of the rest of the kernel. Also delete trailing newlines at EOF and fix a couple trivial typos in existing comments. This is a 100% cosmetic change with no runtime impact. We get rid of over 500 lines of non-code, and being blank line deletes, they won't even show up as noise in git blame. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
* tipc: rename struct subscription to struct tipc_subscriptionPaul Gortmaker2011-12-291-5/+5
| | | | | | | | Make this rename so that it is consistent with the majority of the other tipc structs and to assist in removing any ambiguity with other similar names in other subsystems. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
* tipc: Remove callback field from subscription structureYing Xue2011-09-171-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | Eliminate the "event_cb" member from TIPC's "subscription" structure since the function pointer it holds always points to subscr_send_event().

| | | | | | | | | | | TIPC needs to have its endianess issues fixed. Unfortunately, the format of a subscriber message is passed in directly from user space, so requiring this message to be in network byte order breaks user space ABI. Revert this change until such time as we can determine how to do this in a backwards compatible manner. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* tipc: fix endianness on tipc subscriber messagesNeil Horman2010-03-081-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove htohl implementation from tipc I was working on forward porting the downstream commits for TIPC and ran accross this one: http://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=people/allan/tipc.git;a=commitdiff;h=894279b9437b63cbb02405ad5b8e033b51e4e31e I was going to just take it, when I looked closer and noted what it was doing. This is basically a routine to byte swap fields of data in sent/received packets for tipc, dependent upon the receivers guessed endianness of the peer when a connection is established. Asside from just seeming silly to me, it appears to violate the latest RFC draft for tipc: http://tipc.sourceforge.net/doc/draft-spec-tipc-02.txt Which, according to section 4.2 and 4.3.3, requires that all fields of all commands be sent in network byte order. So instead of just taking this patch, instead I'm removing the htohl function and replacing the calls with calls to ntohl in the rx path and htonl in the send path. As part of this fix, I'm also changing the subscr_cancel function, which searches the list of subscribers, using a memcmp of the entire subscriber list, for the entry to tear down. unfortunately it memcmps the entire tipc_subscr structure which has several bits that are private to the local side, so nothing will ever match. section 5.2 of the draft spec indicates the <type,upper,lower> tuple should uniquely identify a subscriber, so convert subscr_cancel to just match on those fields (properly endian swapped). I've tested this using the tipc test suite, and its passed without issue. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* tipc: Consolidate subscriber & subscriber port referencesAllan Stephens2008-05-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber connection, rather than two. This is achieved by letting the reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber act as the reference to the subscriber object itself. (Since the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa, this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.) This consolidation reduces the size of the reference table by 50% in the default configuration. Signed-off-by: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
