Sasha Levin b67bfe0d42 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:

Ying Xue aba79f332f tipc: byte-based overload control on socket receive queue
Change overload control to be purely byte-based, using
sk->sk_rmem_alloc as byte counter, and compare it to a calculated
upper limit for the socket receive queue.

For all connection messages, irrespective of message importance,
the overload limit is set to a constant value (i.e, 67MB). This
limit should normally never be reached because of the lower
limit used by the flow control algorithm, and is there only
as a last resort in case a faulty peer doesn't respect the send
window limit.

For datagram messages, message importance is taken into account
when calculating the overload limit. The calculation is based
on sk->sk_rcvbuf, and is hence configurable via the socket option
SO_RCVBUF.

After commit 3c294cb3 "tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanism",
we try to grab the broadcast bearer lock when sending multicast

the lock is never initialized. This is an old bug, but the lock

In TIPC's accept() routine, there is a large block of code relating
to initialization of a new socket, all within an if condition checking
if the allocation succeeded.

Here, we simply flip the check of the if, so that the main execution
path stays at the same indentation level, which improves readability.
If the allocation fails, we jump to an already existing exit label.

Ying Xue 258f8667a2 tipc: add lock nesting notation to quiet lockdep warning
TIPC accept() call grabs the socket lock on a newly allocated
socket while holding the socket lock on an old socket. But lockdep
worries that this might be a recursive lock attempt:

  [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
  ---------------------------------------------
  kworker/u:0/6 is trying to acquire lock:
  (sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c1226c>] accept+0x15c/0x310 [tipc]

  but task is already holding lock:
  (sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c12138>] accept+0x28/0x310 [tipc]

  other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

          CPU0
          ----
          lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC);
          lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC);

          *** DEADLOCK ***

  May be due to missing lock nesting notation
  [...]

Tell lockdep that this locking is safe by using lock_sock_nested().
This is similar to what was done in commit 5131a184a3 for
SCTP code ("SCTP: lock_sock_nested in sctp_sock_migrate").

Also note that this is isn't something that is seen normally,
as it was uncovered with some experimental work-in-progress
code not yet ready for mainline.  So no need for stable
backports or similar of this commit.

Ying Xue 584d24b396 tipc: introduce non-blocking socket connect
TIPC has so far only supported blocking connect(), meaning that a call
to connect() doesn't return until either the connection is fully
established, or an error occurs. This has proved insufficient for many
users, so we now introduce non-blocking connect(), analogous to how
this is done in TCP and other protocols.

With this feature, if a connection cannot be established instantly,
connect() will return the error code "-EINPROGRESS".
If the user later calls connect() again, he will either have the
return code "-EALREADY" or "-EISCONN", depending on whether the
connection has been established or not.

The user must have explicitly set the socket to be non-blocking
(SOCK_NONBLOCK or O_NONBLOCK, depending on method used), so unless
for some reason they had set this already (the socket would anyway
remain blocking in current TIPC) this change should be completely
backwards compatible.

It is also now possible to call select() or poll() to wait for the
completion of a connection.

An effect of the above is that the actual completion of a connection
may now be performed asynchronously, independent of the calls from
user space. Therefore, we now execute this code in BH context, in
the function filter_rcv(), which is executed upon reception of
messages in the socket.

Ying Xue 7e6c131e15 tipc: consolidate connection-oriented message reception in one function
Handling of connection-related message reception is currently scattered
around at different places in the code. This makes it harder to verify
that things are handled correctly in all possible scenarios.
So we consolidate the existing processing of connection-oriented
message reception in a single routine.  In the process, we convert the
chain of if/else into a switch/case for improved readability.

A cast on the socket_state in the switch is needed to avoid compile
warnings on 32 bit, like "net/tipc/socket.c:1252:2: warning: case value
‘4294967295’ not in enumerated type".  This happens because existing
tipc code pseudo extends the default linux socket state values with:

	#define SS_LISTENING    -1      /* socket is listening */
	#define SS_READY        -2      /* socket is connectionless */

It may make sense to add these as _positive_ values to the existing
socket state enum list someday, vs. these already existing defines.

Paul Gortmaker bc879117d4 tipc: standardize across connect/disconnect function naming
Currently we have tipc_disconnect and tipc_disconnect_port.  It is
not clear from the names alone, what they do or how they differ.
It turns out that tipc_disconnect just deals with the port locking
and then calls tipc_disconnect_port which does all the work.

If we rename as follows: tipc_disconnect_port --> __tipc_disconnect
then we will be following typical linux convention, where:

   __tipc_disconnect: "raw" function that does all the work.

   tipc_disconnect: wrapper that deals with locking and then calls
		    the real core __tipc_disconnect function

With this, the difference is immediately evident, and locking
violations are more apt to be spotted by chance while working on,
or even just while reading the code.

On the connect side of things, we currently only have the single
"tipc_connect2port" function.  It does both the locking at enter/exit,
and the core of the work.  Pending changes will make it desireable to
have the connect be a two part locking wrapper + worker function,
just like the disconnect is already.

Here, we make the connect look just like the updated disconnect case,
for the above reason, and for consistency.  In the process, we also
get rid of the "2port" suffix that was on the original name, since
it adds no descriptive value.

On close examination, one might notice that the above connect
changes implicitly move the call to tipc_link_get_max_pkt() to be
within the scope of tipc_port_lock() protected region; when it was
not previously.  We don't see any issues with this, and it is in
keeping with __tipc_connect doing the work and tipc_connect just
handling the locking.

Ying Xue 9da3d47587 tipc: eliminate aggregate sk_receive_queue limit
As a complement to the per-socket sk_recv_queue limit, TIPC keeps a
global atomic counter for the sum of sk_recv_queue sizes across all
tipc sockets. When incremented, the counter is compared to an upper
threshold value, and if this is reached, the message is rejected
with error code TIPC_OVERLOAD.

This check was originally meant to protect the node against
buffer exhaustion and general CPU overload. However, all experience
indicates that the feature not only is redundant on Linux, but even
harmful. Users run into the limit very often, causing disturbances
for their applications, while removing it seems to have no negative
effects at all. We have also seen that overall performance is
boosted significantly when this bottleneck is removed.

Furthermore, we don't see any other network protocols maintaining
such a mechanism, something strengthening our conviction that this
control can be eliminated.

As a result, the atomic variable tipc_queue_size is now unused
and so it can be deleted.  There is a getsockopt call that used
to allow reading it; we retain that but just return zero for
maximum compatibility.

Erik Hugne c008413850 tipc: remove obsolete flush of stale reassembly buffer
Each link instance has a periodic job checking if there is a stale
ongoing message reassembly associated to the link. If no new
fragment has been received during the last 4*[link_tolerance] period,
it is assumed the missing fragment will never arrive. As a consequence,
the reassembly buffer is discarded, and a gap in the message sequence
occurs.

This assumption is wrong. After we abandoned our ambition to develop
packet routing for multi-cluster networks, only single-hop packet
transfer remains as an option. For those, all packets are guaranteed
to be delivered in sequence to the defragmentation layer. Any failure
to achieve sequenced delivery will eventually lead to link reset, and
the reassembly buffer will be flushed anyway.

So we just remove this periodic check, which is now obsolete.

Jon Maloy c64f7a6a1f tipc: introduce message to synchronize broadcast link
Upon establishing a first link between two nodes, there is
currently a risk that the two endpoints will disagree on exactly
which sequence number reception and acknowleding of broadcast
packets should start.

The following scenarios may happen:

1: Node A sends an ACTIVATE message to B, telling it to start acking
   packets from sequence number N.
2: Node A sends out broadcast N, but does not expect an acknowledge
   from B, since B is not yet in its broadcast receiver's list.
3: Node A receives ACK for N from all nodes except B, and releases
   packet N.
4: Node B receives the ACTIVATE, activates its link endpoint, and
   stores the value N as sequence number of first expected packet.
5: Node B sends a NAME_DISTR message to A.
6: Node A receives the NAME_DISTR message, and activates its endpoint.
   At this moment B is added to A's broadcast receiver's set.
   Node A also sets sequence number 0 as the first broadcast packet
   to be received from B.
7: Node A sends broadcast N+1.
8: B receives N+1, determines there is a gap in the sequence, since
   it is expecting N, and sends a NACK for N back to A.
9: Node A has already released N, so no retransmission is possible.
   The broadcast link in direction A->B is stale.

In addition to, or instead of, 7-9 above, the following may happen:

10: Node B sends broadcast M > 0 to A.
11: Node A receives M, falsely decides there must be a gap, since
    it is expecting packet 0, and asks for retransmission of packets
    [0,M-1].
12: Node B has already released these packets, so the broadcast
    link is stale in direction B->A.

We solve this problem by introducing a new unicast message type,
BCAST_PROTOCOL/STATE, to convey the sequence number of the next
sent broadcast packet to the other endpoint, at exactly the moment
that endpoint is added to the own node's broadcast receivers list,
and before any other unicast messages are permitted to be sent.

Furthermore, we don't allow any node to start receiving and
processing broadcast packets until this new synchronization
message has been received.

To maintain backwards compatibility, we still open up for
broadcast reception if we receive a NAME_DISTR message without
any preceding broadcast sync message. In this case, we must
assume that the other end has an older code version, and will
never send out the new synchronization message. Hence, for mixed
old and new nodes, the issue arising in 7-12 of the above may
happen with the same probability as before.

Rename the "supported" flag in bclink structure to "recv_permitted"
to better reflect what it is used for. When this flag is set for a
given node, we are permitted to receive and acknowledge broadcast
messages from that node.  Convert it to a bool at the same time,
since it is not used to store any numerical values.

Ying Xue 818f4da526 tipc: remove supportable flag from bclink structure
The "supportable" flag in bclink structure is a compatibility flag
indicating whether a peer node is capable of receiving TIPC broadcast
messages. However, all TIPC versions since tipc-1.5, and after the
inclusion in the upstream Linux kernel in 2006, support this capability.
It is highly unlikely that anybody is still using such an old
version of TIPC, let alone that they want to mix it with TIPC-2.0
nodes. Therefore, we now remove the "supportable" flag.

Ying Xue 3c294cb374 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.

Ying Xue 7503115107 tipc: wake up all waiting threads at socket shutdown
When a socket is shut down, we should wake up all thread sleeping on
it, instead of just one of them. Otherwise, when several threads are
polling the same socket, and one of them does shutdown(), the
remaining threads may end up sleeping forever.

Also, to align socket usage with common practice in other stacks, we
use one of the common socket callback handlers, sk_state_change(),
to wake up pending users. This is similar to the usage in e.g.
inet_shutdown(). [net/ipv4/af_inet.c].

Erik Hugne c4fc298ab4 tipc: return POLLOUT for sockets in an unconnected state
If an implied connect is attempted on a nonblocking STREAM/SEQPACKET
socket during link congestion, the connect message will be discarded
and sendmsg will return EAGAIN. This is normal behavior, and the
application is expected to poll the socket until POLLOUT is set,
after which the connection attempt can be retried.
However, the POLLOUT flag is never set for unconnected sockets and
poll() always returns a zero mask. The application is then left without
a trigger for when it can make another attempt at sending the message.

The solution is to check if we're polling on an unconnected socket
and set the POLLOUT flag if the TIPC port owned by this socket
is not congested. The TIPC ports waiting on a specific link will be
marked as 'not congested' when the link congestion have abated.

Ying Xue f288bef464 tipc: fix race/inefficiencies in poll/wait behaviour
When an application blocks at poll/select on a TIPC socket
while requesting a specific event mask, both the filter_rcv() and
wakeupdispatch() case will wake it up unconditionally whenever
the state changes (i.e an incoming message arrives, or congestion
has subsided).  No mask is used.

To avoid this, we populate sk->sk_data_ready and sk->sk_write_space
with tipc_data_ready and tipc_write_space respectively, which makes
tipc more in alignment with the rest of the networking code.  These
pass the exact set of possible events to the waker in fs/select.c
hence avoiding waking up blocked processes unnecessarily.

In doing so, we uncover another issue -- that there needs to be a
memory barrier in these poll/receive callbacks, otherwise we are
subject to the the same race as documented above wq_has_sleeper()
[in commit a57de0b4 "net: adding memory barrier to the poll and
receive callbacks"].  So we need to replace poll_wait() with
sock_poll_wait() and use rcu protection for the sk->sk_wq pointer
in these two new functions.

Erik Hugne e57edf6b6d tipc: prevent dropped connections due to rcvbuf overflow
When large buffers are sent over connected TIPC sockets, it
is likely that the sk_backlog will be filled up on the
receiver side, but the TIPC flow control mechanism is happily
unaware of this since that is based on message count.

The sender will receive a TIPC_ERR_OVERLOAD message when this occurs
and drop it's side of the connection, leaving it stale on
the receiver end.

By increasing the sk_rcvbuf to a 'worst case' value, we avoid the
overload caused by a full backlog queue and the flow control
will work properly.

This worst case value is the max TIPC message size times
the flow control window, multiplied by two because a sender
will transmit up to double the window size before a port is marked
congested.
We multiply this by 2 to account for the sk_buff and other overheads.

>From the log, we can see three different call chains between
CPU0 and CPU1:

Time 0 on CPU0:

  kernel_init()->inet_init()->dev_add_pack()

At time 0, the ptype_lock is held by CPU0 in dev_add_pack();

Time 1 on CPU1:

  tipc_enable_bearer()->enable_bearer()->dev_add_pack()

At time 1, tipc_enable_bearer() first holds tipc_net_lock, and then
wants to take ptype_lock to register TIPC protocol handler into the
networking stack.  But the ptype_lock has been taken by dev_add_pack()
on CPU0, so at this time the dev_add_pack() running on CPU1 has to be
busy looping.

Time 2 on CPU0:

  netif_receive_skb()->recv_msg()->tipc_recv_msg()

At time 2, an incoming TIPC packet arrives at CPU0, hence
tipc_recv_msg() will be invoked. In tipc_recv_msg(), it first wants
to hold tipc_net_lock.  At the moment, below scenario happens:

On CPU0, below is our sequence of taking locks:

  lock(ptype_lock)->lock(tipc_net_lock)

On CPU1, our sequence of taking locks looks like:

  lock(tipc_net_lock)->lock(ptype_lock)

Obviously deadlock may happen in this case.

But please note the deadlock possibly doesn't occur at all when the
first TIPC bearer is enabled.  Before enable_bearer() -- running on
CPU1 does not hold ptype_lock, so the TIPC receive handler (i.e.
recv_msg()) is not registered successfully via dev_add_pack(), so
the tipc_recv_msg() cannot be called by recv_msg() even if a TIPC
message comes to CPU0. But when the second TIPC bearer is
registered, the deadlock can perhaps really happen.

To fix it, we will push the work of registering TIPC protocol
handler into workqueue context. After the change, both paths taking
ptype_lock are always in process contexts, thus, the deadlock should
never occur.

Erik Hugne dc1aed37d1 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.

Erik Hugne e2dbd60134 tipc: simplify print buffer handling in tipc_printf
tipc_printf was previously used both to construct debug traces
and to append data to buffers that should be sent over netlink
to the tipc-config application.  A global print_buffer was
used to format the string before it was copied to the actual
output buffer.  This could lead to concurrent access of the
global print_buffer, which then had to be lock protected.
This is simplified by changing tipc_printf to append data
directly to the output buffer using vscnprintf.

With the new implementation of tipc_printf, there is no longer
any risk of concurrent access to the internal log buffer, so
the lock (and the comments describing it) are no longer
strictly necessary.  However, there are still a few functions
that do grab this lock before resizing/dumping the log
buffer.  We leave the lock, and these functions untouched since
they will be removed with a subsequent commit that drops the
deprecated log buffer handling code

Erik Hugne 568fc588fc tipc: remove TIPC packet debugging functions and macros
The link queue traces and packet level debug functions served
a purpose during early development, but are now redundant
since there are other, more capable tools available for
debugging at the packet level.

The TIPC_DEBUG Kconfig option is removed since it does not
provide any extra debugging features anymore.

This gets rid of a lot of tipc_printf usages, which will
make the pending cleanup work of that function easier.

Erik Hugne 2cf8aa19fe 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

Paul Gortmaker f705ab956b 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.

Paul Gortmaker 7e9cab58e8 tipc: factor stats struct out of the larger link struct
This is done to improve readability, and so that we can give
the struct a name that will allow us to declare a local
pointer to it in code, instead of having to always redirect
through the link struct to get to it.

Joe Perches e3192690a3 net: Remove casts to same type
Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.

For example, this cast:

	int y;
	int *p = (int *)&y;

I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts.  I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force and __user.

@@
type T;
T *p;
@@

-	(T *)p
+	p
