A new netlink API for tipc that can disable or enable a tipc bearer.
The new API is separated from the old API because of a bug in the
user space client (tipc-config). The problem is that older versions
of tipc-config has a very low receive limit and adding commands to
the legacy genl_opts struct causes the ctrl_getfamily() response
message to grow, subsequently breaking the tool.
The new API utilizes netlink policies for input validation. Where the
top-level netlink attributes are tipc-logical entities, like bearer.
The top level entities then contain nested attributes. In this case
a name, nested link properties and a domain.
Netlink commands implemented in this patch:
TIPC_NL_BEARER_ENABLE
TIPC_NL_BEARER_DISABLE

The current link implementation keeps a linked list of blocked ports/
sockets that is populated when there is link congestion. The purpose
of this is to let the link know which users to wake up when the
congestion abates.
This adds unnecessary complexity to the data structure and the code,
since it forces us to involve the link each time we want to delete
a socket. It also forces us to grab the spinlock port_lock within
the scope of node_lock. We want to get rid of this direct dependence,
as well as the deadlock hazard resulting from the usage of port_lock.
In this commit, we instead let the link keep list of a "wakeup" pseudo
messages for use in such situations. Those messages are sent to the
pending sockets via the ordinary message reception path, and wake up
the socket's owner when they are received.
This enables us to get rid of the 'waiting_ports' linked lists in struct
tipc_port that manifest this direct reference. As a consequence, we can
eliminate another BH entry into the socket, and hence the need to grab
port_lock. This is a further step in our effort to remove port_lock
altogether.

The current link implementation provides several different transmit
functions, depending on the characteristics of the message to be
sent: if it is an iovec or an sk_buff, if it needs fragmentation or
not, if the caller holds the node_lock or not. The permutation of
these options gives us an unwanted amount of unnecessarily complex
code.
As a first step towards simplifying the send path for all messages,
we introduce two new send functions at link level, tipc_link_xmit2()
and __tipc_link_xmit2(). The former looks up a link to the message
destination, and if one is found, it grabs the node lock and calls
the second function, which works exclusively inside the node lock
protection. If no link is found, and the destination is on the same
node, it delivers the message directly to the local destination
socket.
The new functions take a buffer chain where all packet headers are
already prepared, and the correct MTU has been used. These two
functions will later replace all other link-level transmit functions.
The functions are not backwards compatible, so we have added them
as new functions with temporary names. They are tested, but have no
users yet. Those will be added later in this series.

Currently on both paths of message transmission and reception, the
read lock of tipc_net_lock must be held before bearer is accessed,
while the write lock of tipc_net_lock has to be taken before bearer
is configured. Although it can ensure that bearer is always valid on
the two data paths, link and bearer is closely bound together.
So as the part of effort of removing tipc_net_lock, the locking
policy of bearer protection will be adjusted as below: on the two
data paths, RCU is used, and on the configuration path of bearer,
RTNL lock is applied.
Now RCU just covers the path of message reception. To make it possible
to protect the path of message transmission with RCU, link should not
use its stored bearer pointer to access bearer, but it should use the
bearer identity of its attached bearer as index to get bearer instance
from bearer_list array, which can help us decouple the relationship
between bearer and link. As a result, bearer on the path of message
transmission can be safely protected by RCU when we access bearer_list
array within RCU lock protection.

When a bearer is disabled, all its attached links are deleted.
Ideally, we should do link failover to redundant links on other bearers,
if there are any, in such cases. This would be consistent with current
behavior when a link is reset, but not deleted. However, due to the
complexity involved, and the (wrongly) perceived low demand for this
feature, it was never implemented until now.
We mark the doomed link for deletion with a new flag, but wait until the
failover process is finished before we actually delete it. With the
improved link tunnelling/failover code introduced earlier in this commit
series, it is now easy to identify a spot in the code where the failover
is finished and it is safe to delete the marked link. Moreover, the test
for the flag and the deletion can be done synchronously, and outside the
most time critical data path.

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.

individual links through the use of the member flag 'blocked'. This
functionality was deemed redundant, and since commit 7368dd ("tipc:
clean out all instances of #if 0'd unused code"), this flag has been
unused.
In the current code, a link only needs to be blocked for sending and
reception if it is subject to an ongoing link failover. In that case,
it is sufficient to check if the number of expected failover packets
is non-zero, something which is done via the funtion 'link_blocked()'.

When the first fragment of a long data data message is received on a link, a
reassembly buffer large enough to hold the data from this and all subsequent
fragments of the message is allocated. The payload of each new fragment is
copied into this buffer upon arrival. When the last fragment is received, the
reassembled message is delivered upwards to the port/socket layer.
Not only is this an inefficient approach, but it may also cause bursts of
reassembly failures in low memory situations. since we may fail to allocate
the necessary large buffer in the first place. Furthermore, after 100 subsequent
such failures the link will be reset, something that in reality aggravates the
situation.
To remedy this problem, this patch introduces a different approach. Instead of
allocating a big reassembly buffer, we now append the arriving fragments
to a reassembly chain on the link, and deliver the whole chain up to the
socket layer once the last fragment has been received. This is safe because
the retransmission layer of a TIPC link always delivers packets in strict
uninterrupted order, to the reassembly layer as to all other upper layers.
Hence there can never be more than one fragment chain pending reassembly at
any given time in a link, and we can trust (but still verify) that the
fragments will be chained up in the correct order.

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.

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.

Migrates the buf_seqno() helper routine from broadcast link level to
unicast link level so that it can be used both types of TIPC links.
This is a cosmetic change only, and does not affect the operation of TIPC.

Adds checks to TIPC's broadcast link so that it ignores any
acknowledgement message containing a sequence number that does not
correspond to an unacknowledged message currently in the broadcast
link's transmit queue.
This change prevents the broadcast link from becoming stalled if a
newly booted node receives stale broadcast link acknowledgement
information from another node that has not yet fully synchronized
its end of the broadcast link to reflect the current state of the
new node's end.

Modifies the initial transfer of name table entries to a new neighboring
node so that the messages are enqueued as a unit, rather than individually.
The revised algorithm now locates the link carrying the message only once,
and eliminates unnecessary checks for link congestion, message fragmentation,
and message bundling that are not required when sending these messages.

Rework TIPC's message sending routines to take advantage of the total
amount of data value passed to it by the kernel socket infrastructure.
This change eliminates the need for TIPC to compute the size of outgoing
messages itself, as well as the check for an oversize message in
tipc_msg_build(). In addition, this change warrants an explanation:
- res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, 0);
+ res = send_packet(NULL, sock, &my_msg, bytes_to_send);
Previously, the final argument to send_packet() was ignored (since the
amount of data being sent was recalculated by a lower-level routine)
and we could just pass in a dummy value (0). Now that the
recalculation is being eliminated, the argument value being passed to
send_packet() is significant and we have to supply the actual amount
of data we want to send.

Enhances link creation code as follows:
1) Detects illegal attempts to add a requested link earlier in the
link creation process. This prevents TIPC from wasting time
initializing a link object it then throws away, and also eliminates
the code needed to do the throwing away.
2) Passes in the node object associated with the requested link.
This allows TIPC to eliminate a search to locate the node object,
as well as code that attempted to create the node if it doesn't
exist.

Enhances TIPC's unicast and broadcast link code to update the transmit
queue maximum size counter in a single place, namely the routine that
adds messages to the queue. This ensures that the maximum size statistic
reported for unicast links is completely accurate, rather than being
partially based on statistical sampling.
The changes to link.h are just documenting the roles of the variables.

Combines two distinct structures containing information about a TIPC bearer
into a single structure. The structures were previously kept separate so
that public information about a bearer could be made available to plug-in
media types using TIPC's native API, while the remaining information was
kept private for use by TIPC itself. However, now that the native API has
been removed there is no longer any need for this arrangement.
Since one of the structures was already embedded within the other, the
change largely involves replacing instances of "publ.foo" with "foo".
The changes do not otherwise alter the operation of TIPC bearers.

Eliminates most link-specific debugging code in TIPC, which is now
largely unnecessary. All calls to the link-specific debugging macros
have been removed, as are the macros themselves; in addition, the optional
allocation of print buffers to hold debugging information for each link
endpoint has been removed. The ability for TIPC to print out helpful
diagnostic information when link retransmit failures occur has been
retained for the time being, as an aid in tracking down the cause of
such failures.

Do some cleanups of TIPC based on make namespacecheck
1. Don't export unused symbols
2. Eliminate dead code
3. Make functions and variables local
4. Rename buf_acquire to tipc_buf_acquire since it is used in several files
Compile tested only.
This make break out of tree kernel modules that depend on TIPC routines.
