tipc: simplify relationship between name table lock and node lock

When tipc name sequence is published, name table lock is released
before name sequence buffer is delivered to remote nodes through its
underlying unicast links. However, when name sequence is withdrawn,
the name table lock is held until the transmission of the removal
message of name sequence is finished. During the process, node lock
is nested in name table lock. To prevent node lock from being nested
in name table lock, while withdrawing name, we should adopt the same
locking policy of publishing name sequence: name table lock should
be released before message is sent.

tipc: any name table member must be protected under name table lock

As tipc_nametbl_lock is used to protect name_table structure, the lock
must be held while all members of name_table structure are accessed.
However, the lock is not obtained while a member of name_table
structure - local_publ_count is read in tipc_nametbl_publish(), as
a consequence, an inconsistent value of local_publ_count might be got.

tipc: ensure all name sequences are properly protected with its lock

TIPC internally created a name table which is used to store name
sequences. Now there is a read-write lock - tipc_nametbl_lock to
protect the table, and each name sequence saved in the table is
protected with its private lock. When a name sequence is inserted
or removed to or from the table, its members might need to change.
Therefore, in normal case, the two locks must be held while TIPC
operates the table. However, there are still several places where
we only hold tipc_nametbl_lock without proprerly obtaining name
sequence lock, which might cause the corruption of name sequence.

As TIPC subscriber server is terminated before name table, no user

otherwise, memory leak might happen.

tipc: remove node subscription infrastructure

The node subscribe infrastructure represents a virtual base class, so
its users, such as struct tipc_port and struct publication, can derive
its implemented functionalities. However, after the removal of struct
tipc_port, struct publication is left as its only single user now. So
defining an abstract infrastructure for one user becomes no longer
reasonable. If corresponding new functions associated with the
infrastructure are moved to name_table.c file, the node subscription
infrastructure can be removed as well.

tipc: add name distributor resiliency queue

TIPC name table updates are distributed asynchronously in a cluster,
entailing a risk of certain race conditions. E.g., if two nodes
simultaneously issue conflicting (overlapping) publications, this may
not be detected until both publications have reached a third node, in
which case one of the publications will be silently dropped on that
node. Hence, we end up with an inconsistent name table.

In most cases this conflict is just a temporary race, e.g., one
node is issuing a publication under the assumption that a previous,
conflicting, publication has already been withdrawn by the other node.
However, because of the (rtt related) distributed update delay, this
may not yet hold true on all nodes. The symptom of this failure is a
syslog message: "tipc: Cannot publish {%u,%u,%u}, overlap error".

In this commit we add a resiliency queue at the receiving end of
the name table distributor. When insertion of an arriving publication
fails, we retain it in this queue for a short amount of time, assuming
that another update will arrive very soon and clear the conflict. If so
happens, we insert the publication, otherwise we drop it.

The (configurable) retention value defaults to 2000 ms. Knowing from
experience that the situation described above is extremely rare, there
is no risk that the queue will accumulate any large number of items.

Commit a89778d8baf19cd7e728d81121a294a06cedaad1 ("tipc: add support
for link state subscriptions") introduced below possible deadlock
scenario:

CPU0 CPU1
T0: tipc_publish() link_timeout()
T1: tipc_nametbl_publish() [grab node lock]*
T2: [grab nametbl write lock]* link_state_event()
T3: named_cluster_distribute() link_activate()
T4: [grab node lock]* tipc_node_link_up()
T5: tipc_nametbl_publish()
T6: [grab nametble write lock]*

The opposite order of holding nametbl write lock and node lock on
above two different paths may result in a deadlock. If we move the
the delivery of named messages via link out of name nametbl lock,
the reverse order of holding locks will be eliminated, as a result,
the deadlock will be killed as well.

tipc: fix memory leak during module removal

When the TIPC module is removed, the tasklet handler is disabled
before all other subsystems. This will cause lingering publications
in the name table because the node_down tasklets responsible to
clean up publications from an unreachable node will never run.
When the name table is shut down, these publications are detected
and an error message is logged:
tipc: nametbl_stop(): orphaned hash chain detected
This is actually a memory leak, introduced with commit
993b858e37b3120ee76d9957a901cca22312ffaa ("tipc: correct the order
of stopping services at rmmod")

Instead of just logging an error and leaking memory, we free
the orphaned entries during nametable shutdown.

tipc: remove all enabled flags from all tipc components

When tipc module is inserted, many tipc components are initialized
one by one. During the initialization period, if one of them is
failed, tipc_core_stop() will be called to stop all components
whatever corresponding components are created or not. To avoid to
release uncreated ones, relevant components have to add necessary
enabled flags indicating whether they are created or not.

But in the initialization stage, if one component is unsuccessfully
created, we will just destroy successfully created components before
the failed component instead of all components. All enabled flags
defined in components, in turn, become redundant. Additionally it's
also unnecessary to identify whether table.types is NULL in
tipc_nametbl_stop() because name stable has been definitely created
successfully when tipc_nametbl_stop() is called.

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

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.

tipc: use standard printk shortcut macros (pr_err etc.)

All messages should go directly to the kernel log. The TIPC
specific error, warning, info and debug trace macro's are
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
char to reduce .text size.

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
phased out completely

tipc: limit error messages relating to memory leak to one line

With the default name table size of 1024, it is possible that
the sanity check in tipc_nametbl_stop could spam out 1024
essentially identical error messages if memory was corrupted
or similar. Limit it to issuing no more than a single message.

The actual chain number (i.e. 0 --> 1023) wouldn't provide any
useful insight if/when such an instance happened, so don't
bother printing out that value.

tipc: compress out gratuitous extra carriage returns

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.
