tipc: Enhance sending of bulk name table messages

2011-09-18T02:55:10+00:00

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.

tipc: relocate/coalesce node cast in tipc_named_node_up

2011-09-18T02:55:09+00:00

Functions like this are called using unsigned longs from
function pointers.  In this case, the function is passed in
a node which is normally internally treated as a u32 by TIPC.

Rather than add more casts into this function in the future
for each added use of node within, move the cast to a single
place on a local.

tipc: Prevent fragmented messages during initial name table exchange

2011-09-18T02:55:08+00:00

Reduces the maximum size of messages sent during the initial exchange
of name table information between two nodes to be no larger than the
MTU of the first link established between the nodes. This ensures that
messages will never need to be fragmented, which would add unnecessary
overhead to the name table synchronization mechanism.

tipc: Cleanup of message header size terminology

2011-06-24T20:18:17+00:00

Performs cosmetic cleanup of the symbolic names used to specify TIPC
payload message header sizes. The revised names now more accurately
reflect the payload messages in which they can appear. In addition,
several places where these payload message symbol names were being used
to create non-payload messages have been updated to use the proper
internal message symbolic name.

No functional changes are introduced by this rework.

tipc: cosmetic - function names are not to be full sentences

2011-03-13T20:35:17+00:00

Function names like "tipc_node_has_redundant_links" are unweildy
and result in long lines even for simple lines.  The "has" doesn't
contribute any value add, so dropping that is a slight step in the
right direction.   This is a cosmetic change, basic result of:

for i in `grep -l tipc_node_has_ *` ; do sed -i s/tipc_node_has_/tipc_node_/ $i ; done

tipc: Convert node object array to a hash table

2011-03-13T20:35:17+00:00

Replaces the dynamically allocated array of pointers to the cluster's
node objects with a static hash table. Hash collisions are resolved
using chaining, with a typical hash chain having only a single node,
to avoid degrading performance during processing of incoming packets.
The conversion to a hash table reduces the memory requirements for
TIPC's node table to approximately the same size it had prior to
the previous commit.

In addition to the hash table itself, TIPC now also maintains a
linked list for the node objects, sorted by ascending network address.
This list allows TIPC to continue sending responses to user space
applications that request node and link information in sorted order.
The list also improves performance when name table update messages are
sent by making it easier to identify the nodes that must be notified.

tipc: Split up unified structure of network-related variables

2011-03-13T20:35:17+00:00

Converts the fields of the global "tipc_net" structure into individual
variables.  Since the struct was never referenced as a complete unit,
its existence was pointless.  This will facilitate upcoming changes to
TIPC's node table and simpify upcoming relocation of the variables so
they are only visible to the files that actually use them.

This change is essentially cosmetic in nature, and doesn't affect the
operation of TIPC.

tipc: Cosmetic changes to node subscription code

2011-03-13T20:35:16+00:00

Relocates the code that notifies users of node subscriptions so that
it is adjacent to the rest of the routines that implement TIPC's node
subscription capability. Renames the name table routine that is
invoked by a node subscription to better reflect its purpose and to
be consistent with other, similar name table routines.

These changes are cosmetic in nature, and do not alter the behavior
of TIPC.

tipc: Prevent null pointer error when removing a node subscription

2011-03-13T20:35:16+00:00

Prevents a null pointer dereference from occurring if a node subscription
is triggered at the same time that the subscribing port or publication is
terminating the subscription. The problem arises if the triggering routine
asynchronously activates and deregisters the node subscription while
deregistration is already underway -- the deregistration routine may find
that the pointer it has just verified to be non-NULL is now NULL.
To avoid this race condition the triggering routine now simply marks the
node subscription as defunct (to prevent it from re-activating)
instead of deregistering it. The subscription is now both deregistered
and destroyed only when the subscribing port or publication code terminates
the node subscription.
