      tipc: Minor optimization to rejection of connection-based messages · dff10e9e
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Modifies message rejection logic so that TIPC doesn't attempt to
send a FIN message to the rejecting port if it is known in advance
that there is no such message because the rejecting port doesn't exist.

      tipc: Eliminate alteration of publication key during name table purging · 3175bd9a
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Removes code that alters the publication key of a name table entry
that is being forcibly purged from TIPC's name table after contact
with the publishing node has been lost.

Current TIPC ensures that all defunct names are purged before
re-establishing contact with a failed node.  There used to be a risk
that the publication might be accidentally deleted because it might be
re-added to the name table before the purge operation was completed.
But now there is no longer a need to ensure that the new key is different
than the old one.

      tipc: Prevent loss of fragmented messages over broadcast link · 63e7f1ac
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Modifies broadcast link so that an incoming fragmented message is not
lost if reassembly cannot begin because there currently is no buffer
big enough to hold the entire reassembled message. The broadcast link
now ignores the first fragment completely, which causes the sending node
to retransmit the first fragment so that reassembly can be re-attempted.

Previously, the sender would have had no reason to retransmit the 1st
fragment, so we would never have a chance to re-try the allocation.

To do this cleanly without duplicaton, a new bclink_accept_pkt()
function is introduced.

      tipc: Major redesign of broadcast link ACK/NACK algorithms · 7a54d4a9
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Completely redesigns broadcast link ACK and NACK mechanisms to prevent
spurious retransmit requests in dual LAN networks, and to prevent the
broadcast link from stalling due to the failure of a receiving node to
acknowledge receiving a broadcast message or request its retransmission.

Note: These changes only impact the timing of when ACK and NACK messages
are sent, and not the basic broadcast link protocol itself, so inter-
operability with nodes using the "classic" algorithms is maintained.

The revised algorithms are as follows:

1) An explicit ACK message is still sent after receiving 16 in-sequence
messages, and implicit ACK information continues to be carried in other
unicast link message headers (including link state messages).  However,
the timing of explicit ACKs is now based on the receiving node's absolute
network address rather than its relative network address to ensure that
the failure of another node does not delay the ACK beyond its 16 message
target.

2) A NACK message is now typically sent only when a message gap persists
for two consecutive incoming link state messages; this ensures that a
suspected gap is not confirmed until both LANs in a dual LAN network have
had an opportunity to deliver the message, thereby preventing spurious NACKs.
A NACK message can also be generated by the arrival of a single link state
message, if the deferred queue is so big that the current message gap
cannot be the result of "normal" mis-ordering due to the use of dual LANs
(or one LAN using a bonded interface). Since link state messages typically
arrive at different nodes at different times the problem of multiple nodes
issuing identical NACKs simultaneously is inherently avoided.

3) Nodes continue to "peek" at NACK messages sent by other nodes. If
another node requests retransmission of a message gap suspected (but not
yet confirmed) by the peeking node, the peeking node forgets about the
gap and does not generate a duplicate retransmit request. (If the peeking
node subsequently fails to receive the lost message, later link state
messages will cause it to rediscover and confirm the gap and send another
NACK.)

4) Message gap "equality" is now determined by the start of the gap only.
This is sufficient to deal with the most common cases of message loss,
and eliminates the need for complex end of gap computations.

5) A peeking node no longer tries to determine whether it should send a
complementary NACK, since the most common cases of message loss don't
require it to be sent. Consequently, the node no longer examines the
"broadcast tag" field of a NACK message when peeking.

      tipc: Add missing locks in broadcast link statistics accumulation · b98158e3
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Ensures that all attempts to update broadcast link statistics are done
only while holding the lock that protects the link's main data structures,
to prevent interference by simultaneous updates caused by messages
arriving on other interfaces.

      tipc: Fix bug in broadcast link duplicate message statistics · 0232c5a5
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Modifies broadcast link so that it increments the "received duplicate
message" count if an incoming message cannot be added to the deferred
message queue because it is already present in the queue. (The aligns
broadcast link behavior with that of TIPC's unicast links.)

      tipc: Fix node lock reclamation issues in broadcast link reception · 8a275a6a
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Fixes a pair of problems in broadcast link message reception code
relating to the reclamation of the node lock after consuming an
in-sequence message.

1) Now retests to see if the sending node is still up after reclaiming
   the node lock, and bails out if it is non-operational.

2) Now manipulates the node's deferred message queue only after
   reclaiming the node lock, rather than using queue head pointer
   information that was cached previously.

      tipc: Add missing broadcast link lock when sending NACK · 57732560
      Allan Stephens authored 
      Ensures that any attempt to send a NACK message over TIPC's broadcast
link has exclusive access to the link's main data structures, to prevent
interference with a simultaneous attempt to send other broadcast link
traffic (such as application-generated multicast messages).
