tipc: remove 'links' list from tipc_bearer struct

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.

tipc: eliminate code duplication in media layer

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 bearer

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: initiate media type array at compile time

Communication media types are abstracted through the struct 'tipc_media',
one per media type. These structs are allocated statically inside their
respective media file.

Furthermore, in order to be able to reach all instances from a central
location, we keep a static array with pointers to these structs. This
array is currently initialized at runtime, under protection of
tipc_net_lock. However, since the contents of the array itself never
changes after initialization, we can just as well initialize it at
compile time and make it 'const', at the same time making it obvious
that no lock protection is needed here.

This commit makes the array constant and removes the redundant lock
protection.

tipc: remove interface state mirroring in bearer

struct 'tipc_bearer' is a generic representation of the underlying
media type, and exists in a one-to-one relationship to each interface
TIPC is using. The struct contains a 'blocked' flag that mirrors the
operational and execution state of the represented interface, and is
updated through notification calls from the latter. The users of
tipc_bearer are checking this flag before each attempt to send a
packet via the interface.

This state mirroring serves no purpose in the current code base. TIPC
links will not discover a media failure any faster through this
mechanism, and in reality the flag only adds overhead at packet
sending and reception.

Furthermore, the fact that the flag needs to be protected by a spinlock
aggregated into tipc_bearer has turned out to cause a serious and
completely unnecessary deadlock problem.

CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
Time 0: bearer_disable() link_timeout()
Time 1: spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock) tipc_link_push_queue()
Time 2: tipc_link_delete() tipc_bearer_blocked(b_ptr)
Time 3: k_cancel_timer(&req->timer) spin_lock_bh(&b_ptr->lock)
Time 4: del_timer_sync(&req->timer)

I.e., del_timer_sync() on CPU0 never returns, because the timer handler
on CPU1 is waiting for the bearer lock.

We eliminate the 'blocked' flag from struct tipc_bearer, along with all
tests on this flag. This not only resolves the deadlock, but also
simplifies and speeds up the data path execution of TIPC. It also fits
well into our ongoing effort to make the locking policy simpler and
more manageable.

An effect of this change is that we can get rid of functions such as
tipc_bearer_blocked(), tipc_continue() and tipc_block_bearer().
We replace the latter with a new function, tipc_reset_bearer(), which
resets all links associated to the bearer immediately after an
interface goes down.

A user might notice one slight change in link behaviour after this
change. When an interface goes down, (e.g. through a NETDEV_DOWN
event) all attached links will be reset immediately, instead of
leaving it to each link to detect the failure through a timer-driven
mechanism. We consider this an improvement, and see no obvious risks
with the new behavior.

tipc: avoid unnecessary lookup for tipc bearer instance

tipc_block_bearer() currently takes a bearer name (const char*)
as argument. This requires the function to make a lookup to find
the pointer to the corresponding bearer struct. In the current
code base this is not necessary, since the only two callers
(tipc_continue(),recv_notification()) already have validated
copies of this pointer, and hence can pass it directly in the
function call.

We change tipc_block_bearer() to directly take struct tipc_bearer*
as argument instead.

tipc: make bearer and media naming consistent

TIPC 'bearer' exists as an abstract concept, while 'media'
is deemed a specific implementation of a bearer, such as Ethernet
or Infiniband media. When a component inside TIPC wants to control
a specific media, it only needs to access the generic bearer API
to achieve this. However, in the current media implementations,
the 'bearer' name is also extensively used in media specific
function and variable names.

This may create confusion, so we choose to replace the term 'bearer'
with 'media' in all function names, variable names, and prefixes
where this is what really is meant.

Note that this change is cosmetic only, and no runtime behaviour
changes are made here.

The problem is that the tipc_link_delete() will cancel the timer disc_timeout() when
the b_ptr->lock is hold, but the disc_timeout() still call b_ptr->lock to finish the
work, so the dead lock occurs.

We should unlock the b_ptr->lock when del the disc_timeout().

Remove link_timeout() still met the same problem, the patch:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.tipc.general/4380

fix the problem, so no need to send patch for fix link_timeout() deadlock warming.

Add InfiniBand media type based on the ethernet media type.

The only real difference is that in case of InfiniBand, we need the entire

not explicitly stored in the packet payload.

tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanism

Currently at the TIPC bearer layer there is the following congestion
mechanism:

Once sending packets has failed via that bearer, the bearer will be
flagged as being in congested state at once. During bearer congestion,
all packets arriving at link will be queued on the link's outgoing
buffer. When we detect that the state of bearer congestion has
relaxed (e.g. some packets are received from the bearer) we will try
our best to push all packets in the link's outgoing buffer until the
buffer is empty, or until the bearer is congested again.

However, in fact the TIPC bearer never receives any feedback from the
device layer whether a send was successful or not, so it must always
assume it was successful. Therefore, the bearer congestion mechanism
as it exists currently is of no value.

But the bearer blocking state is still useful for us. For example,
when the physical media goes down/up, we need to change the state of
the links bound to the bearer. So the code maintaing the state
information is not removed.

tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usage

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.

All messages should go directly to the kernel log. The TIPC

removed and all references replaced with pr_err, pr_warn,
pr_info and pr_debug.

Commonly used sub-strings are explicitly declared as a const

Note that this means the debug messages (changed to pr_debug),
are now enabled through dynamic debugging, instead of a TIPC
specific Kconfig option (TIPC_DEBUG). The latter will be

Some of the comment blocks are floating in limbo between two

feeds between any comment and its associated following block

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.

tipc: Add routines for safe checking of node's network address

Introduces routines that test whether a given network address is
equal to a node's own network address or if it lies within the node's
own network cluster, and which work properly regardless of whether
the node is using the default network address <0.0.0> or a non-zero
network address that is assigned later on. In essence, these routines
ensure that address <0.0.0> is treated as an alias for "this node",
regardless of which network address the node is actually using.

Old users of the pre-existing more strict match in_own_cluster()
have been accordingly redirected to what is now called
in_own_cluster_exact() --- which does not extend matching to <0,0,0>.

Removes all references to the global variable that records whether
TIPC is running in "single node" mode or "network" mode, since this
information can be easily deduced from the global variable that
records TIPC's network address. (i.e. a non-zero network address
means that TIPC is running in network mode.)

The changes made update most existing mode-based checks to use the
network address global variable. A few checks that are no longer
needed are removed entirely, along with any associated code lying on
non-executable control paths.
