tipc: Introduce routine to enqueue a chain of messages on link tx queue

2011-05-10T20:03:58+00:00

Create a helper routine to enqueue a chain of sk_buffs to a link's
transmit queue.  It improves readability and the new function is
anticipated to be used more than just once in the future as well.

tipc: Avoid recomputation of outgoing message length

2011-05-10T20:03:57+00:00

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.

tipc: Fix sk_buff leaks when link congestion is detected

2011-05-10T20:03:53+00:00

Modifies a TIPC send routine that did not discard the outgoing sk_buff
if it was not transmitted because of link congestion; this eliminates
the potential for buffer leakage in the many callers who did not clean up
the unsent buffer. (The two routines that previously did discard the unsent
buffer have been updated to eliminate their now-redundant clean up.)

tipc: Fix issues with fragmentation of an existing message buffer

2011-05-10T20:03:49+00:00

Modifies the routine that fragments an existing message buffer to
use similar logic to that used when generating fragments from an iovec.
The routine now creates a complete chain of fragments and adds them to
the link transmit queue as a unit, so that the link sends all fragments
or none; this prevents the incomplete transmission of a fragmented
message that might otherwise result because of link congestion or
memory exhaustion. This change also ensures that the counter recording
the number of fragmented messages sent by the link is now incremented
only if the message is actually sent.

tipc: Avoid pointless masking of fragmented message identifier

2011-05-10T20:03:48+00:00

Eliminates code that restricts a link's counter of its fragmented
messages to a 16-bit value, since the counter value is automatically
restricted to this range when it is written into the message header.

tipc: Don't initialize link selector field in fragmented messages

2011-05-10T20:03:47+00:00

Eliminates code that sets the link selector field in the header of
fragmented messages, since this information is never referenced.
(The unnecessary initialization was harmless as it was over-written
by the fragmented message identifier value before the fragments were
transmitted.)

tipc: Eliminate obsolete routine for handling routed messages

2011-03-13T20:35:19+00:00

Eliminates a routine that is used in handling messages arriving from
another cluster or zone. Such messages can no longer be received by TIPC
now that multi-cluster and multi-zone network support has been eliminated.

tipc: Eliminate remaining support for routing table messages

2011-03-13T20:35:19+00:00

Gets rid of all remaining code relating to ROUTE_DISTRIBUTOR messages.
These messages were only used in multi-cluster and multi-zone networks,
which TIPC no longer supports. (For safety, TIPC now treats such messages
the same way that it handles other unrecognized messages.)

tipc: Optimizations to link creation code

2011-03-13T20:35:18+00:00

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.
