The change made in the previous commit revealed a small flaw in the way
the node FSM is updated. When the function tipc_node_link_down() is
called for the last link to a node, we should check whether this was
caused by a local reset or by a received RESET message from the peer.
In the latter case, we can directly issue a PEER_LOST_CONTACT_EVT to
the node FSM, so that it is ready to re-establish contact. If this is
not done, the peer node will sometimes have to go through a second
establish cycle before the link becomes stable.
We fix this in this commit by conditionally issuing the mentioned
event in the function tipc_node_link_down(). We also move LINK_RESET
FSM even away from the link_reset() function and into the caller
function, partially because it is easier to follow the code when state
changes are gathered at a limited number of locations, partially
because there will be cases in future commits where we don't want the
link to go RESET mode when link_reset() is called.

When a link is taken down because of a node local event, such as
disabling of a bearer or an interface, we currently leave it to the
peer node to discover the broken communication. The default time for
such failure discovery is 1.5-2 seconds.
If we instead allow the terminating link endpoint to send out a RESET
message at the moment it is reset, we can achieve the impression that
both endpoints are going down instantly. Since this is a very common
scenario, we find it worthwhile to make this small modification.
Apart from letting the link produce the said message, we also have to
ensure that the interface is able to transmit it before TIPC is
detached. We do this by performing the disabling of a bearer in three
steps:
1) Disable reception of TIPC packets from the interface in question.
2) Take down the links, while allowing them so send out a RESET message.
3) Disable transmission of TIPC packets on the interface.
Apart from this, we now have to react on the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN event,
instead of as currently the NEDEV_DOWN event, to ensure that such
transmission is possible during the teardown phase.

Link establishing, just like link teardown, is a non-atomic action, in
the sense that discovering that conditions are right to establish a link,
and the actual adding of the link to one of the node's send slots is done
in two different lock contexts. The link FSM is designed to help bridging
the gap between the two contexts in a safe manner.
We have now discovered a weakness in the implementaton of this FSM.
Because we directly let the link go from state LINK_ESTABLISHING to
state LINK_ESTABLISHED already in the first lock context, we are unable
to distinguish between a fully established link, i.e., a link that has
been added to its slot, and a link that has not yet reached the second
lock context. It may hence happen that a manual intervention, e.g., when
disabling an interface, causes the function tipc_node_link_down() to try
removing the link from the node slots, decrementing its active link
counter etc, although the link was never added there in the first place.
We solve this by delaying the actual state change until we reach the
second lock context, inside the function tipc_node_link_up(). This
makes it possible for potentail callers of __tipc_node_link_down() to
know if they should proceed or not, and the problem is solved.
Unforunately, the situation described above also has a second problem.
Since there by necessity is a tipc_node_link_up() call pending once
the node lock has been released, we must defuse that call by setting
the link back from LINK_ESTABLISHING to LINK_RESET state. This forces
us to make a slight modification to the link FSM, which will now look
as follows.

In commit 6e498158a8 ("tipc: move link synch and failover to link aggregation level")
we introduced a new mechanism for performing link failover and
synchronization. We have now detected a bug in this mechanism.
During link synchronization we use the arrival of any packet on
the tunnel link to trig a check for whether it has reached the
synchronization point or not. This has turned out to be too
permissive, since it may cause an arriving non-last SYNCH packet to
end the synch state, just to see the next SYNCH packet initiate a
new synch state with a new, higher synch point. This is not fatal,
but should be avoided, because it may significantly extend the
synchronization period, while at the same time we are not allowed
to send NACKs if packets are lost. In the worst case, a low-traffic
user may see its traffic stall until a LINK_PROTOCOL state message
trigs the link to leave synchronization state.
At the same time, LINK_PROTOCOL packets which happen to have a (non-
valid) sequence number lower than the tunnel link's rcv_nxt value will
be consistently dropped, and will never be able to resolve the situation
described above.
We fix this by exempting LINK_PROTOCOL packets from the sequence number
check, as they should be. We also reduce (but don't completely
eliminate) the risk of entering multiple synchronization states by only
allowing the (logically) first SYNCH packet to initiate a synchronization
state. This works independently of actual packet arrival order.

Recent changes to the link synchronization means that we can now just
drop packets arriving on the synchronizing link before the synch point
is reached. This has lead to significant simplifications to the
implementation, but also turns out to have a flip side that we need
to consider.
Under unlucky circumstances, the two endpoints may end up
repeatedly dropping each other's packets, while immediately
asking for retransmission of the same packets, just to drop
them once more. This pattern will eventually be broken when
the synch point is reached on the other link, but before that,
the endpoints may have arrived at the retransmission limit
(stale counter) that indicates that the link should be broken.
We see this happen at rare occasions.
The fix for this is to not ask for retransmissions when a link is in
state LINK_SYNCHING. The fact that the link has reached this state
means that it has already received the first SYNCH packet, and that it
knows the synch point. Hence, it doesn't need any more packets until the
other link has reached the synch point, whereafter it can go ahead and
ask for the missing packets.
However, because of the reduced traffic on the synching link that
follows this change, it may now take longer to discover that the
synch point has been reached. We compensate for this by letting all
packets, on any of the links, trig a check for synchronization
termination. This is possible because the packets themselves don't
contain any information that is needed for discovering this condition.

When we introduced the new link failover/synch mechanism
in commit 6e498158a8
("tipc: move link synch and failover to link aggregation level"),
we missed the case when the non-tunnel link goes down during the link
synchronization period. In this case the tunnel link will remain in
state LINK_SYNCHING, something leading to unpredictable behavior when
the failover procedure is initiated.
In this commit, we ensure that the node and remaining link goes
back to regular communication state (SELF_UP_PEER_UP/LINK_ESTABLISHED)
when one of the parallel links goes down. We also ensure that we don't
re-enter synch mode if subsequent SYNCH packets arrive on the remaining
link.

When a link goes down, and there is still a working link towards its
destination node, a failover is initiated, and the failed link is not
allowed to re-establish until that procedure is finished. To ensure
this, the concerned link endpoints are set to state LINK_FAILINGOVER,
and the node endpoints to NODE_FAILINGOVER during the failover period.
However, if the link reset is due to a disabled bearer, the corres-
ponding link endpoint is deleted, and only the node endpoint knows
about the ongoing failover. Now, if the disabled bearer is re-enabled
during the failover period, the discovery mechanism may create a new
link endpoint that is ready to be established, despite that this is not
permitted. This situation may cause both the ongoing failover and any
subsequent link synchronization to fail.
In this commit, we ensure that a newly created link goes directly to
state LINK_FAILINGOVER if the corresponding node state is
NODE_FAILINGOVER. This eliminates the problem described above.
Furthermore, we tighten the criteria for which packets are allowed
to end a failover state in the function tipc_node_check_state().
By checking that the receiving link is up and running, instead of just
checking that it is not in failover mode, we eliminate the risk that
protocol packets from the re-created link may cause the failover to
be prematurely terminated.

After the most recent changes, all access calls to a link which
may entail addition of messages to the link's input queue are
postpended by an explicit call to tipc_sk_rcv(), using a reference
to the correct queue.
This means that the potentially hazardous implicit delivery, using
tipc_node_unlock() in combination with a binary flag and a cached
queue pointer, now has become redundant.
This commit removes this implicit delivery mechanism both for regular

it is set to RESET or ESTABLISHING in a later context. The recently

The implementation of the link FSM currently takes decisions about and
sends out link protocol messages. This is unnecessary, since such
actions are not the result of any link state change, and are even
decided based on non-FSM state information ("silent_intv_cnt").
We now move the sending of unicast link protocol messages to the
function tipc_link_timeout(), and the initial broadcast synchronization
message to tipc_node_link_up(). The latter is done because a link
instance should not need to know whether it is the first or second
link to a destination. Such information is now restricted to and
handled by the link aggregation layer in node.c

The function tipc_link_activate() is redundant, since it mostly performs
settings that have already been done in a preceding tipc_link_reset().
There are three exceptions to this:
- The actual state change to TIPC_LINK_WORKING. This should anyway be done
in the FSM, and not in a separate function.
- Registration of the link with the bearer. This should be done by the
node, since we don't want the link to have any knowledge about its
specific bearer.
- Call to tipc_node_link_up() for user access registration. With the new
role distribution between link aggregation and link level this becomes
the wrong call order; tipc_node_link_up() should instead be called
directly as a result of a TIPC_LINK_UP event, hence by the node itself.
This commit implements those changes.

We convert packet/message reception according to the same principle
we have been using for message sending and timeout handling:
We move the function tipc_rcv() to node.c, hence handling the initial
packet reception at the link aggregation level. The function grabs
the node lock, selects the receiving link, and accesses it via a new
call tipc_link_rcv(). This function appends buffers to the input
queue for delivery upwards, but it may also append outgoing packets
to the xmit queue, just as we do during regular message sending. The
latter will happen when buffers are forwarded from the link backlog,
or when retransmission is requested.
Upon return of this function, and after having released the node lock,
tipc_rcv() delivers/tranmsits the contents of those queues, but it may
also perform actions such as link activation or reset, as indicated by
the return flags from the link.
This reduces the number of cpu cycles spent inside the node spinlock,
and reduces contention on that lock.

The logics for determining when a node is permitted to establish
and maintain contact with its peer node becomes non-trivial in the
presence of multiple parallel links that may come and go independently.
A known failure scenario is that one endpoint registers both its links
to the peer lost, cleans up it binding table, and prepares for a table
update once contact is re-establihed, while the other endpoint may
see its links reset and re-established one by one, hence seeing
no need to re-synchronize the binding table. To avoid this, a node
must not allow re-establishing contact until it has confirmation that
even the peer has lost both links.
Currently, the mechanism for handling this consists of setting and
resetting two state flags from different locations in the code. This
solution is hard to understand and maintain. A closer analysis even
reveals that it is not completely safe.
In this commit we do instead introduce an FSM that keeps track of
the conditions for when the node can establish and maintain links.
It has six states and four events, and is strictly based on explicit
knowledge about the own node's and the peer node's contact states.
Only events leading to state change are shown as edges in the figure

not need to know the full signature of any of the structs it refers to,
only their type declaration.
In this commit, we remove all dependencies from core.h towards any
other tipc header file.
As a consequence of this change, we can now move the function
tipc_own_addr(net) from addr.c to addr.h, and make it inline.
There are no functional changes in this commit.

When a link is being established, the two endpoints advertise their
respective interface MTU in the transmitted RESET and ACTIVATE messages.
If there is any difference, the lower of the two MTUs will be selected
for use by both endpoints.
However, as a remnant of earlier attempts to introduce TIPC level
routing. there also exists an MTU discovery mechanism. If an intermediate
node has a lower MTU than the two endpoints, they will discover this
through a bisectional approach, and finally adopt this MTU for common use.
Since there is no TIPC level routing, and probably never will be,
this mechanism doesn't make any sense, and only serves to make the
link level protocol unecessarily complex.
In this commit, we eliminate the MTU discovery algorithm,and fall back
to the simple MTU advertising approach. This change is fully backwards
compatible.

When a bearer is disabled manually, all its links have to be reset
and deleted. However, if there is a remaining, parallel link ready
to take over a deleted link's traffic, we currently delay the delete
of the removed link until the failover procedure is finished. This
is because the remaining link needs to access state from the reset
link, such as the last received packet number, and any partially
reassembled buffer, in order to perform a successful failover.
In this commit, we do instead move the state data over to the new
link, so that it can fulfill the procedure autonomously, without
accessing any data on the old link. This means that we can now
proceed and delete all pertaining links immediately when a bearer
is disabled. This saves us from some unnecessary complexity in such
situations.
We also choose to change the confusing definitions CHANGEOVER_PROTOCOL,
ORIGINAL_MSG and DUPLICATE_MSG to the more descriptive TUNNEL_PROTOCOL,
FAILOVER_MSG and SYNCH_MSG respectively.

TIPC node hash node table is protected with rcu lock on read side.
tipc_node_find() is used to look for a node object with node address
through iterating the hash node table. As the entire process of what
tipc_node_find() traverses the table is guarded with rcu read lock,
it's safe for us. However, when callers use the node object returned
by tipc_node_find(), there is no rcu read lock applied. Therefore,
this is absolutely unsafe for callers of tipc_node_find().
Now we introduce a reference counter for node structure. Before
tipc_node_find() returns node object to its caller, it first increases
the reference counter. Accordingly, after its caller used it up,
it decreases the counter again. This can prevent a node being used by
one thread from being freed by another thread.

struct tipc_link contains one single queue for outgoing packets,
where both transmitted and waiting packets are queued.
This infrastructure is hard to maintain, because we need
to keep a number of fields to keep track of which packets are
sent or unsent, and the number of packets in each category.
A lot of code becomes simpler if we split this queue into a transmission
queue, where sent/unacknowledged packets are kept, and a backlog queue,
where we keep the not yet sent packets.
In this commit we do this separation.

In a previous commit in this series we resolved a race problem during
unicast message reception.
Here, we resolve the same problem at multicast reception. We apply the
same technique: an input queue serializing the delivery of arriving
buffers. The main difference is that here we do it in two steps.
First, the broadcast link feeds arriving buffers into the tail of an
arrival queue, which head is consumed at the socket level, and where
destination lookup is performed. Second, if the lookup is successful,
the resulting buffer clones are fed into a second queue, the input
queue. This queue is consumed at reception in the socket just like
in the unicast case. Both queues are protected by the same lock, -the
one of the input queue.

The new input message queue in struct tipc_link can be used for
delivering connection abort messages to subscribing sockets. This
makes it possible to simplify the code for such cases.
This commit removes the temporary list in tipc_node_unlock()
used for transforming abort subscriptions to messages. Instead, the
abort messages are now created at the moment of lost contact, and
then added to the last failed link's generic input queue for delivery
to the sockets concerned.

TIPC handles message cardinality and sequencing at the link layer,
before passing messages upwards to the destination sockets. During the
upcall from link to socket no locks are held. It is therefore possible,
and we see it happen occasionally, that messages arriving in different
threads and delivered in sequence still bypass each other before they
reach the destination socket. This must not happen, since it violates
the sequentiality guarantee.
We solve this by adding a new input buffer queue to the link structure.
Arriving messages are added safely to the tail of that queue by the
link, while the head of the queue is consumed, also safely, by the
receiving socket. Sequentiality is secured per socket by only allowing
buffers to be dequeued inside the socket lock. Since there may be multiple
simultaneous readers of the queue, we use a 'filter' parameter to reduce
the risk that they peek the same buffer from the queue, hence also
reducing the risk of contention on the receiving socket locks.
This solves the sequentiality problem, and seems to cause no measurable
performance degradation.
A nice side effect of this change is that lock handling in the functions
tipc_rcv() and tipc_bcast_rcv() now becomes uniform, something that
will enable future simplifications of those functions.

The most common usage of namespace information is when we fetch the
own node addess from the net structure. This leads to a lot of
passing around of a parameter of type 'struct net *' between
functions just to make them able to obtain this address.
However, in many cases this is unnecessary. The own node address
is readily available as a member of both struct tipc_sock and
tipc_link, and can be fetched from there instead.
The fact that the vast majority of functions in socket.c and link.c
anyway are maintaining a pointer to their respective base structures
makes this option even more compelling.
In this commit, we introduce the inline functions tsk_own_node()
and link_own_node() to make it easy for functions to fetch the node
address from those structs instead of having to pass along and
dereference the namespace struct.
In particular, we make calls to the msg_xx() functions in msg.{h,c}
context independent by directly passing them the own node address
as parameter when needed. Those functions should be regarded as
leaves in the code dependency tree, and it is hence desirable to
keep them namspace unaware.
Apart from a potential positive effect on cache behavior, these
changes make it easier to introduce the changes that will follow
later in this series.

Instances of struct node are created in the function tipc_disc_rcv()
under the assumption that there is no race between received discovery
messages arriving from the same node. This assumption is wrong.
When we use more than one bearer, it is possible that discovery
messages from the same node arrive at the same moment, resulting in
creation of two instances of struct tipc_node. This may later cause
confusion during link establishment, and may result in one of the links
never becoming activated.
We fix this by making lookup and potential creation of nodes atomic.
Instead of first looking up the node, and in case of failure, create it,
we now start with looking up the node inside node_link_create(), and
return a reference to that one if found. Otherwise, we go ahead and
create the node as we did before.

During link failover it may happen that the remaining link goes
down while it is still in the process of taking over traffic
from a previously failed link. When this happens, we currently
abort the failover procedure and reset the first failed link to
non-failover mode, so that it will be ready to re-establish
contact with its peer when it comes available.
However, if the first link goes down because its bearer was manually
disabled, it is not enough to reset it; it must also be deleted;
which is supposed to happen when the failover procedure is finished.
Otherwise it will remain a zombie link: attached to the owner node
structure, in mode LINK_STOPPED, and permanently blocking any re-
establishing of the link to the peer via the interface in question.
We fix this by amending the failover abort procedure. Apart from
resetting the link to non-failover state, we test if the link is
also in LINK_STOPPED mode. If so, we delete it, using the conditional
tipc_link_delete() function introduced in the previous commit.

- node hash table list (tipc_node_list)
- node table lock (node_list_lock)
- node number counter (tipc_num_nodes)
- node link number counter (tipc_num_links)
To make node table support namespace, above global variables must be
moved to tipc_net structure in order to keep secret for different
namespaces. As a consequence, these variables are allocated and
initialized when namespace is created, and deallocated when namespace
is destroyed. After the change, functions associated with these
variables have to utilize a namespace pointer to access them. So
