tipc: rename functions defined in subscr.c

2015-05-04T19:04:00+00:00

When a topology server accepts a connection request from its client,
it allocates a connection instance and a tipc_subscriber structure
object. The former is used to communicate with client, and the latter
is often treated as a subscriber which manages all subscription events
requested from a same client. When a topology server receives a request
of subscribing name services from a client through the connection, it
creates a tipc_subscription structure instance which is seen as a
subscription recording what name services are subscribed. In order to
manage all subscriptions from a same client, topology server links
them into the subscrp_list of the subscriber. So subscriber and
subscription completely represents different meanings respectively,
but function names associated with them make us so confused that we
are unable to easily tell which function is against subscriber and
which is to subscription. So we want to eliminate the confusion by
renaming them.

tipc: make subscriber server support net namespace

2015-01-12T21:24:33+00:00

TIPC establishes one subscriber server which allows users to subscribe
their interesting name service status. After tipc supports namespace,
one dedicated tipc stack instance is created for each namespace, and
each instance can be deemed as one independent TIPC node. As a result,
subscriber server must be built for each namespace.

tipc: name tipc name table support net namespace

2015-01-12T21:24:33+00:00

TIPC name table is used to store the mapping relationship between
TIPC service name and socket port ID. When tipc supports namespace,
it allows users to publish service names only owned by a certain
namespace. Therefore, every namespace must have its private name
table to prevent service names published to one namespace from being
contaminated by other service names in another namespace. Therefore,
The name table global variable (ie, nametbl) and its lock must be
moved to tipc_net structure, and a parameter of namespace must be
added for necessary functions so that they can obtain name table
variable defined in tipc_net structure.

tipc: cleanup core.c and core.h files

2015-01-12T21:24:31+00:00

Only the works of initializing and shutting down tipc module are done
in core.h and core.c files, so all stuffs which are not closely
associated with the two tasks should be moved to appropriate places.

tipc: remove unnecessary wrapper functions of kernel timer APIs

2015-01-12T21:24:31+00:00

Not only some wrapper function like k_term_timer() is empty, but also
some others including k_start_timer() and k_cancel_timer() don't return
back any value to its caller, what's more, there is no any component
in the kernel world to do such thing. Therefore, these timer interfaces
defined in tipc module should be purged.

tipc: cosmetic realignment of function arguments

2013-06-17T22:53:01+00:00

No runtime code changes here.  Just a realign of the function
arguments to start where the 1st one was, and fit as many args
as can be put in an 80 char line.

tipc: convert topology server to use new server facility

2013-06-17T22:53:00+00:00

As the new TIPC server infrastructure has been introduced, we can
now convert the TIPC topology server to it.  We get two benefits
from doing this:

1) It simplifies the topology server locking policy.  In the
original locking policy, we placed one spin lock pointer in the
tipc_subscriber structure to reuse the lock of the subscriber's
server port, controlling access to members of tipc_subscriber
instance.  That is, we only used one lock to ensure both
tipc_port and tipc_subscriber members were safely accessed.

Now we introduce another spin lock for tipc_subscriber structure
only protecting themselves, to get a finer granularity locking
policy.  Moreover, the change will allow us to make the topology
server code more readable and maintainable.

2) It fixes a bug where sent subscription events may be lost when
the topology port is congested.  Using the new service, the
topology server now queues sent events into an outgoing buffer,
and then wakes up a sender process which has been blocked in
workqueue context.  The process will keep picking events from the
buffer and send them to their respective subscribers, using the
kernel socket interface, until the buffer is empty. Even if the
socket is congested during transmission there is no risk that
events may be dropped, since the sender process may block when
needed.

Some minor reordering of initialization is done, since we now
have a scenario where the topology server must be started after
socket initialization has taken place, as the former depends
on the latter.  And overall, we see a simplification of the
TIPC subscriber code in making this changeover.

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: rename struct subscription to struct tipc_subscription

2011-12-30T02:53:29+00:00

Make this rename so that it is consistent with the majority
of the other tipc structs and to assist in removing any
ambiguity with other similar names in other subsystems.

tipc: Remove callback field from subscription structure

2011-09-18T02:55:14+00:00

Eliminate the "event_cb" member from TIPC's "subscription" structure
