tipc: missing entries in name table of publications

When binding multiple services with specific type 1Ki, 2Ki..,
this leads to some entries in the name table of publications
missing when listed out via 'tipc name show'.

The problem is at identify zero last_type conditional provided
via netlink. The first is initial 'type' when starting name table
dummping. The second is continuously with zero type (node state
service type). Then, lookup function failure to finding node state
service type in next iteration.

To solve this, adding more conditional to marked as dirty type and
lookup correct service type for the next iteration instead of select
the first service as initial 'type' zero.

tipc: eliminate message disordering during binding table update

We have seen the following race scenario:
1) named_distribute() builds a "bulk" message, containing a PUBLISH
item for a certain publication. This is based on the contents of
the binding tables's 'cluster_scope' list.
2) tipc_named_withdraw() removes the same publication from the list,
bulds a WITHDRAW message and distributes it to all cluster nodes.
3) tipc_named_node_up(), which was calling named_distribute(), sends
out the bulk message built under 1)
4) The WITHDRAW message arrives at the just detected node, finds
no corresponding publication, and is dropped.
5) The PUBLISH item arrives at the same node, is added to its binding
table, and remains there forever.

This arrival disordering was earlier taken care of by the backlog queue,
originally added for a different purpose, which was removed in the
commit referred to below, but we now need a different solution.
In this commit, we replace the rcu lock protecting the 'cluster_scope'
list with a regular RW lock which comprises even the sending of the
bulk message. This both guarantees both the list integrity and the
message sending order. We will later add a commit which cleans up
this code further.

Note that this commit needs recently added commit d3092b2efca1 ("tipc:
fix unsafe rcu locking when accessing publication list") to apply
cleanly.

tipc: fix the big/little endian issue in tipc_dest

In function tipc_dest_push, the 32bit variables 'node' and 'port'
are stored separately in uppper and lower part of 64bit 'value'.
Then this value is assigned to dst->value which is a union like:
union
{
struct {
u32 port;
u32 node;
};
u64 value;
}
This works on little-endian machines like x86 but fails on big-endian
machines.

The fix remove the 'value' stack parameter and even the 'value'
member of the union in tipc_dest, assign the 'node' and 'port' member
directly with the input parameter to avoid the endian issue.

tipc: clean up removal of binding table items

In commit be47e41d77fb ("tipc: fix use-after-free in tipc_nametbl_stop")
we fixed a problem caused by premature release of service range items.

That fix is correct, and solved the problem. However, it doesn't address
the root of the problem, which is that we don't lookup the tipc_service
-> service_range -> publication items in the correct hierarchical
order.

In this commit we try to make this right, and as a side effect obtain
some code simplification.

tipc: fix use-after-free in tipc_nametbl_stop

When we delete a service item in tipc_nametbl_stop() we loop over
all service ranges in the service's RB tree, and for each service
range we loop over its pertaining publications while calling
tipc_service_remove_publ() for each of them.

However, tipc_service_remove_publ() has the side effect that it also
removes the comprising service range item when there are no publications
left. This leads to a "use-after-free" access when the inner loop
continues to the next iteration, since the range item holding the list
we are looping no longer exists.

We fix this by moving the delete of the service range item outside
the said function. Instead, we now let the two functions calling it
test if the list is empty and perform the removal when that is the
case.

tipc: fix unbalanced reference counter

When a topology subscription is created, we may encounter (or KASAN
may provoke) a failure to create a corresponding service instance in
the binding table. Instead of letting the tipc_nametbl_subscribe()
report the failure back to the caller, the function just makes a warning
printout and returns, without incrementing the subscription reference
counter as expected by the caller.

This makes the caller believe that the subscription was successful, so
it will at a later moment try to unsubscribe the item. This involves
a sub_put() call. Since the reference counter never was incremented
in the first place, we get a premature delete of the subscription item,
followed by a "use-after-free" warning.

We fix this by adding a return value to tipc_nametbl_subscribe() and
make the caller aware of the failure to subscribe.

This bug seems to always have been around, but this fix only applies
back to the commit shown below. Given the low risk of this happening
we believe this to be sufficient.

tipc: permit overlapping service ranges in name table

With the new RB tree structure for service ranges it becomes possible to
solve an old problem; - we can now allow overlapping service ranges in
the table.

When inserting a new service range to the tree, we use 'lower' as primary
key, and when necessary 'upper' as secondary key.

Since there may now be multiple service ranges matching an indicated
'lower' value, we must also add the 'upper' value to the functions
used for removing publications, so that the correct, corresponding
range item can be found.

These changes guarantee that a well-formed publication/withdrawal item
from a peer node never will be rejected, and make it possible to
eliminate the problematic backlog functionality we currently have for
handling such cases.

tipc: replace name table service range array with rb tree

The current design of the binding table has an unnecessary memory
consuming and complex data structure. It aggregates the service range
items into an array, which is expanded by a factor two every time it
becomes too small to hold a new item. Furthermore, the arrays never
shrink when the number of ranges diminishes.

We now replace this array with an RB tree that is holding the range
items as tree nodes, each range directly holding a list of bindings.

This, along with a few name changes, improves both readability and
volume of the code, as well as reducing memory consumption and hopefully
improving cache hit rate.

tipc: allow closest-first lookup algorithm when legacy address is configured

The removal of an internal structure of the node address has an unwanted
side effect.
- Currently, if a user is sending an anycast message with destination
domain 0, the tipc_namebl_translate() function will use the 'closest-
first' algorithm to first look for a node local destination, and only
when no such is found, will it resort to the cluster global 'round-
robin' lookup algorithm.
- Current users can get around this, and enforce unconditional use of
global round-robin by indicating a destination as Z.0.0 or Z.C.0.
- This option disappears when we make the node address flat, since the
lookup algorithm has no way of recognizing this case. So, as long as
there are node local destinations, the algorithm will always select
one of those, and there is nothing the sender can do to change this.

We solve this by eliminating the 'closest-first' option, which was never
a good idea anyway, for non-legacy users, but only for those. To
distinguish between legacy users and non-legacy users we introduce a new
flag 'legacy_addr_format' in struct tipc_core, to be set when the user
configures a legacy-style Z.C.N node address. Hence, when a legacy user
indicates a zero lookup domain 'closest-first' is selected, and in all
other cases we use 'round-robin'.

using ZONE_SCOPE we translate this internally to CLUSTER_SCOPE, while we
remain compatible with users and remote nodes still using ZONE_SCOPE.

Furthermore, the non-formalized scope value 0 has always been permitted
for use during lookup, with the same meaning as ZONE_SCOPE/CLUSTER_SCOPE.
We now permit it even as binding scope, but for compatibility reasons we

tipc: simplify endianness handling in topology subscriber

Because of the requirement for total distribution transparency, users
send subscriptions and receive topology events in their own host format.
It is up to the topology server to determine this format and do the
correct conversions to and from its own host format when needed.

Until now, this has been handled in a rather non-transparent way inside
the topology server and subscriber code, leading to unnecessary
complexity when creating subscriptions and issuing events.

We now improve this situation by adding two new macros, tipc_sub_read()
and tipc_evt_write(). Both those functions calculate the need for
conversion internally before performing their respective operations.
Hence, all handling of such conversions become transparent to the rest
of the code.

tipc: fix bug during lookup of multicast destination nodes

In commit 232d07b74a33 ("tipc: improve groupcast scope handling") we
inadvertently broke non-group multicast transmission when changing the
parameter 'domain' to 'scope' in the function
tipc_nametbl_lookup_dst_nodes(). We missed to make the corresponding
change in the calling function, with the result that the lookup always
fails.

A closer anaysis reveals that this parameter is not needed at all.
Non-group multicast is hard coded to use CLUSTER_SCOPE, and in the
current implementation this will be delivered to all matching
destinations except those which are published with NODE_SCOPE on other
nodes. Since such publications never will be visible on the sending node
anyway, it makes no sense to discriminate by scope at all.

We now remove this parameter altogether.

tipc: improve groupcast scope handling

When a member joins a group, it also indicates a binding scope. This
makes it possible to create both node local groups, invisible to other
nodes, as well as cluster global groups, visible everywhere.

In order to avoid that different members end up having permanently
differing views of group size and memberhip, we must inhibit locally
and globally bound members from joining the same group.

We do this by using the binding scope as an additional separator between
groups. I.e., a member must ignore all membership events from sockets
using a different scope than itself, and all lookups for message
destinations must require an exact match between the message's lookup
scope and the potential target's binding scope.

Apart from making it possible to create local groups using the same
identity on different nodes, a side effect of this is that it now also
becomes possible to create a cluster global group with the same identity
across the same nodes, without interfering with the local groups.

tipc: add option to suppress PUBLISH events for pre-existing publications

Currently, when a user is subscribing for binding table publications,
he will receive a PUBLISH event for all already existing matching items
in the binding table.

However, a group socket making a subscriptions doesn't need this initial
status update from the binding table, because it has already scanned it
during the join operation. Worse, the multiplicatory effect of issuing
mutual events for dozens or hundreds group members within a short time
frame put a heavy load on the topology server, with the end result that
scale out operations on a big group tend to take much longer than needed.

We now add a new filter option, TIPC_SUB_NO_STATUS, for topology server
subscriptions, so that this initial avalanche of events is suppressed.
This change, along with the previous commit, significantly improves the
range and speed of group scale out operations.

We keep the new option internal for the tipc driver, at least for now.

When a socket is joining a group, we look up in the binding table to
find if there are already other members of the group present. This is
used for being able to return EAGAIN instead of EHOSTUNREACH if the
user proceeds directly to a send attempt.

However, the information in the binding table can be used to directly
set the created member in state MBR_PUBLISHED and send a JOIN message
to the peer, instead of waiting for a topology PUBLISH event to do this.
When there are many members in a group, the propagation time for such
events can be significant, and we can save time during the join
operation if we use the initial lookup result fully.

In this commit, we eliminate the member state MBR_DISCOVERED which has
been the result of the initial lookup, and do instead go directly to
MBR_PUBLISHED, which initiates the setup.

After this change, the tipc_member FSM looks as follows:

+-----------+
---->| PUBLISHED |-----------------------------------------------+
PUB- +-----------+ LEAVE/WITHRAW |
LISH |JOIN |
| +-------------------------------------------+ |
| | LEAVE/WITHDRAW | |

tipc: eliminate KASAN warning

The following warning was reported by syzbot on Oct 24. 2017:
KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds Read in tipc_nametbl_lookup_dst_nodes

This is a harmless bug, but we still want to get rid of the warning,
so we swap the two conditions in question.
