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: Update destination node field on incoming multicast messages

2011-05-10T20:03:52+00:00

Sets the destination node field of an incoming multicast message
to the receiving node's network address before handing off the message
to each receiving port. This ensures that, in the event the destination
port returns the message to the sender, the sender can identify which
node the destination port belonged to.

tipc: Fix problem with bundled multicast message

2011-05-10T20:03:51+00:00

Set the destination node and destination port fields of an outgoing
multicast message header to zero; this is necessary to ensure that
the receiving node can route the message properly if it was packed
into a bundle due to link congestion. (Previously, there was a chance
that the receiving node would send the unbundled message to a random
node & port, rather than processing the message itself.)

tipc: Set name lookup scope field properly in all data messages

2011-05-10T20:03:50+00:00

Ensures that all outgoing data messages have the "name lookup scope"
field of their header set correctly; that is, named multicast messages
now specify cluster-wide name lookup, while messages not using TIPC
naming zero out the lookup field.  (Previously, the lookup scope specified
for these types of messages was inherited from the last message sent
by the sending port.)

tipc: Remove support for per-connection message sequence numbering

2011-02-23T23:05:21+00:00

Eliminates TIPC's prototype support for message sequence numbering
on routable connections (i.e. connections requiring more than one hop).
This capability isn't currently used, and can be removed since TIPC
only supports systems in which all inter-node communication can be
achieved in a single hop.

tipc: Fix port counter handling to correct congestion control

2011-02-23T23:05:18+00:00

Modifies TIPC's congestion control between a connected port and its
peer so that it works as documented. The following changes have been
made:

1) The counter of the number of messages sent by a port now starts
   at zero, rather than one. This prevents the port from reporting port
   congestion one message earlier than it was supposed to.

2) The counter of the number of messages sent by a port is now
   incremented only if a non-empty message is sent successfully.
   This prevents the port from becoming permanently congested if
   too many send attempts are unsuccessful because of congestion
   (or other reasons). It also removes the risk that empty hand-
   shaking messages used during connection setup might cause the
   port to report congestion earlier than it was supposed to.

3) The counter of the number of unacknowledged messages received by
   a port controlled by an internal TIPC service is now incremented
   only if the message is non-empty, in order to be consistent with
   the aforementioned changes.

tipc: Combine port structure with tipc_port structure

2011-02-23T23:04:27+00:00

Merge two distinct structures containing information about a TIPC port
into a single structure. The structures were previously kept separate
so that public information about a port could be made available to
applications 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 somewhat
confusing 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 ports.

tipc: remove extraneous braces from single statements

2011-01-01T21:57:57+00:00

Cleans up TIPC's source code to eliminate the presence of unnecessary
use of {} around single statements.

These changes are purely cosmetic and do not alter the operation of TIPC
in any way.

tipc: cleanup various cosmetic whitespace issues

2011-01-01T21:57:56+00:00

Cleans up TIPC's source code to eliminate deviations from generally
accepted coding conventions relating to leading/trailing white space
and white space around commas, braces, cases, and sizeof.

These changes are purely cosmetic and do not alter the operation of TIPC
in any way.
