d618d09a68 tipc: enforce valid ratio between skb truesize and contents
The socket level flow control is based on the assumption that incoming
buffers meet the condition (skb->truesize / roundup(skb->len) <= 4),
where the latter value is rounded off upwards to the nearest 1k number.
This does empirically hold true for the device drivers we know, but we
cannot trust that it will always be so, e.g., in a system with jumbo
frames and very small packets.

We now introduce a check for this condition at packet arrival, and if
we find it to be false, we copy the packet to a new, smaller buffer,
where the condition will be true. We expect this to affect only a small
fraction of all incoming packets, if at all.

f70d37b796 tipc: add new function for sending multiple small messages
We see an increasing need to send multiple single-buffer messages
of TIPC_SYSTEM_IMPORTANCE to different individual destination nodes.
Instead of looping over the send queue and sending each buffer
individually, as we do now, we add a new help function
tipc_node_distr_xmit() to do this.

27163138b4 tipc: perform skb_linearize() before parsing the inner header
In tipc_rcv(), we linearize only the header and usually the packets
are consumed as the nodes permit direct reception. However, if the
skb contains tunnelled message due to fail over or synchronization
we parse it in tipc_node_check_state() without performing
linearization. This will cause link disturbances if the skb was
non linear.

In this commit, we perform linearization for the above messages.

40501f90ed tipc: don't reset stale broadcast send link
When the broadcast send link after 100 attempts has failed to
transfer a packet to all peers, we consider it stale, and reset
it. Thereafter it needs to re-synchronize with the peers, something
currently done by just resetting and re-establishing all links to
all peers. This has turned out to be overkill, with potentially
unwanted consequences for the remaining cluster.

A closer analysis reveals that this can be done much simpler. When
this kind of failure happens, for reasons that may lie outside the
TIPC protocol, it is typically only one peer which is failing to
receive and acknowledge packets. It is hence sufficient to identify
and reset the links only to that peer to resolve the situation, without
having to reset the broadcast link at all. This solution entails a much
lower risk of negative consequences for the own node as well as for
the overall cluster.

We implement this change in this commit.

ed43594aed tipc: remove premature ESTABLISH FSM event at link synchronization
When a link between two nodes come up, both endpoints will initially
send out a STATE message to the peer, to increase the probability that
the peer endpoint also is up when the first traffic message arrives.
Thereafter, if the establishing link is the second link between two
nodes, this first "traffic" message is a TUNNEL_PROTOCOL/SYNCH message,
helping the peer to perform initial synchronization between the two
links.

However, the initial STATE message may be lost, in which case the SYNCH
message will be the first one arriving at the peer. This should also
work, as the SYNCH message itself will be used to take up the link
endpoint before  initializing synchronization.

Unfortunately the code for this case is broken. Currently, the link is
brought up through a tipc_link_fsm_evt(ESTABLISHED) when a SYNCH
arrives, whereupon __tipc_node_link_up() is called to distribute the
link slots and take the link into traffic. But, __tipc_node_link_up() is
itself starting with a test for whether the link is up, and if true,
returns without action. Clearly, the tipc_link_fsm_evt(ESTABLISHED) call
is unnecessary, since tipc_node_link_up() is itself issuing such an
event, but also harmful, since it inhibits tipc_node_link_up() to
perform the test of its tasks, and the link endpoint in question hence
is never taken into traffic.

This problem has been exposed when we set up dual links between pre-
and post-4.4 kernels, because the former ones don't send out the
initial STATE message described above.

We fix this by removing the unnecessary event call.

681a55d717 tipc: move premature initilalization of stack variables
In the function tipc_rcv() we initialize a couple of stack variables
from the message header before that same header has been validated.
In rare cases when the arriving header is non-linar, the validation
function itself may linearize the buffer by calling skb_may_pull(),
while the wrongly initialized stack fields are not updated accordingly.

We fix this in this commit.

93f955aad4 tipc: fix nametbl_lock soft lockup at node/link events
We trigger a soft lockup as we grab nametbl_lock twice if the node
has a pending node up/down or link up/down event while:
- we process an incoming named message in tipc_named_rcv() and
  perform an tipc_update_nametbl().
- we have pending backlog items in the name distributor queue
  during a nametable update using tipc_nametbl_publish() or
  tipc_nametbl_withdraw().

The following are the call chain associated:
tipc_named_rcv() Grabs nametbl_lock
   tipc_update_nametbl() (publish/withdraw)
     tipc_node_subscribe()/unsubscribe()
       tipc_node_write_unlock()
          << lockup occurs if an outstanding node/link event
             exits, as we grabs nametbl_lock again >>

tipc_nametbl_withdraw() Grab nametbl_lock
  tipc_named_process_backlog()
    tipc_update_nametbl()
      << rest as above >>

The function tipc_node_write_unlock(), in addition to releasing the
lock processes the outstanding node/link up/down events. To do this,
we need to grab the nametbl_lock again leading to the lockup.

In this commit we fix the soft lockup by introducing a fast variant of
node_unlock(), where we just release the lock. We adapt the
node_subscribe()/node_unsubscribe() to use the fast variants.

a853e4c6d0 tipc: introduce replicast as transport option for multicast
TIPC multicast messages are currently carried over a reliable
'broadcast link', making use of the underlying media's ability to
transport packets as L2 broadcast or IP multicast to all nodes in
the cluster.

When the used bearer is lacking that ability, we can instead emulate
the broadcast service by replicating and sending the packets over as
many unicast links as needed to reach all identified destinations.
We now introduce a new TIPC link-level 'replicast' service that does
this.

365ad353c2 tipc: reduce risk of user starvation during link congestion
The socket code currently handles link congestion by either blocking
and trying to send again when the congestion has abated, or just
returning to the user with -EAGAIN and let him re-try later.

This mechanism is prone to starvation, because the wakeup algorithm is
non-atomic. During the time the link issues a wakeup signal, until the
socket wakes up and re-attempts sending, other senders may have come
in between and occupied the free buffer space in the link. This in turn
may lead to a socket having to make many send attempts before it is
successful. In extremely loaded systems we have observed latency times
of several seconds before a low-priority socket is able to send out a
message.

In this commit, we simplify this mechanism and reduce the risk of the
described scenario happening. When a message is attempted sent via a
congested link, we now let it be added to the link's backlog queue
anyway, thus permitting an oversubscription of one message per source
socket. We still create a wakeup item and return an error code, hence
instructing the sender to block or stop sending. Only when enough space
has been freed up in the link's backlog queue do we issue a wakeup event
that allows the sender to continue with the next message, if any.

The fact that a socket now can consider a message sent even when the
link returns a congestion code means that the sending socket code can
be simplified. Also, since this is a good opportunity to get rid of the
obsolete 'mtu change' condition in the three socket send functions, we
now choose to refactor those functions completely.

06bd2b1ed0 tipc: fix broadcast link synchronization problem
In commit 2d18ac4ba7 ("tipc: extend broadcast link initialization
criteria") we tried to fix a problem with the initial synchronization
of broadcast link acknowledge values. Unfortunately that solution is
not sufficient to solve the issue.

We have seen it happen that LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE packets with a valid
non-zero unicast acknowledge number may bypass BCAST_PROTOCOL
initialization, NAME_DISTRIBUTOR and other STATE packets with invalid
broadcast acknowledge numbers, leading to premature opening of the
broadcast link. When the bypassed packets finally arrive, they are
inadvertently accepted, and the already correctly initialized
acknowledge number in the broadcast receive link is overwritten by
the invalid (zero) value of the said packets. After this the broadcast
link goes stale.

We now fix this by marking the packets where we know the acknowledge
value is or may be invalid, and then ignoring the acks from those.

To this purpose, we claim an unused bit in the header to indicate that
the value is invalid. We set the bit to 1 in the initial BCAST_PROTOCOL
synchronization packet and all initial ("bulk") NAME_DISTRIBUTOR
packets, plus those LINK_PROTOCOL packets sent out before the broadcast
links are fully synchronized.

This minor protocol update is fully backwards compatible.

02d11ca200 tipc: transfer broadcast nacks in link state messages
When we send broadcasts in clusters of more 70-80 nodes, we sometimes
see the broadcast link resetting because of an excessive number of
retransmissions. This is caused by a combination of two factors:

1) A 'NACK crunch", where loss of broadcast packets is discovered
   and NACK'ed by several nodes simultaneously, leading to multiple
   redundant broadcast retransmissions.

2) The fact that the NACKS as such also are sent as broadcast, leading
   to excessive load and packet loss on the transmitting switch/bridge.

This commit deals with the latter problem, by moving sending of
broadcast nacks from the dedicated BCAST_PROTOCOL/NACK message type
to regular unicast LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE messages. We allocate 10 unused
bits in word 8 of the said message for this purpose, and introduce a
new capability bit, TIPC_BCAST_STATE_NACK in order to keep the change
backwards compatible.
