tipc: add InfiniBand media type

2013-04-17T18:18:33+00:00

Add InfiniBand media type based on the ethernet media type.

The only real difference is that in case of InfiniBand, we need the entire
20 bytes of space reserved for media addresses, so the TIPC media type ID is
not explicitly stored in the packet payload.

Sample output of tipc-config:

# tipc-config -v -addr -netid -nt=all -p -m -b -n -ls

tipc: move bcast_addr from struct tipc_media to struct tipc_bearer

2013-04-17T18:18:33+00:00

Some network protocols, like InfiniBand, don't have a fixed broadcast
address but one that depends on the configuration. Move the bcast_addr
to struct tipc_bearer and initialize it with the broadcast address of
the network device when the bearer is enabled.

tipc: remove the bearer congestion mechanism

2012-11-22T01:07:25+00:00

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.

tipc: manually inline single use media_name_valid routine

2012-08-20T09:26:30+00:00

After eliminating the mechanism which checks whether all letters
in media name string are within a given character set, the
media_name_valid routine becomes trivial.  It is also only
used once, so it is unnecessary to keep it as a separate function.

tipc: remove pointless name sanity check and tipc_alphabet array

2012-08-20T09:26:30+00:00

There is no real reason to check whether all letters in the given
media name and network interface name are within the character set
defined in tipc_alphabet array. Even if we eliminate the checking,
the rest of checking conditions in tipc_enable_bearer() can ensure
we do not enable an invalid or illegal bearer.

tipc: phase out most of the struct print_buf usage

2012-07-13T23:33:28+00:00

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.)

2012-07-13T23:24:44+00:00

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: compress out gratuitous extra carriage returns

2012-04-30T19:53:56+00:00

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.

tipc: Add routines for safe checking of node's network address

2012-04-19T19:46:39+00:00

Introduces routines that test whether a given network address is
equal to a node's own network address or if it lies within the node's
own network cluster, and which work properly regardless of whether
the node is using the default network address <0.0.0> or a non-zero
network address that is assigned later on. In essence, these routines
ensure that address <0.0.0> is treated as an alias for "this node",
regardless of which network address the node is actually using.

Old users of the pre-existing more strict match in_own_cluster()
have been accordingly redirected to what is now called
in_own_cluster_exact() --- which does not extend matching to <0,0,0>.
